Instructions for connecting various devices to the auxiliary jack are beyond the scope of this 

manual.  You are urged to seek help from a knowledgeable professional before connecting any 

unapproved devices to the jack.  Keep in mind that any damage to the KRAKATOA II as a result 

of improper use of the auxiliary jack is not covered by the warranty, nor will FOXPRO be liable 

for damage to any connected devices 

3-3 Batteries and Charging 

The KRAKATOA II is equipped with dual rechargeable NiMH battery packs and a smart fast 

charger (see image below). During operation, if the pilot lamp begins blinking, this is indicating 

that the batteries are starting to get low and need recharged.  

 

 

To Charge the Batteries 

1.

 

Disconnect one of the sealed battery packs from the Krakatoa II and remove it from 

the battery pouch. 

2.

 

Connect the power cable from the sealed battery pack to the connector on the 

charger. 

3.

 

Plug the wall adapter into a 110VAC wall outlet. 

4.

 

The charger has an LED which glows red while charging and switches to green when 

the charge is complete. 

5.

 

When one pack is finished charging, place it back into its pouch and repeat these 

steps for the second pack. 

 

WARNING 

 

Never attempt to charge batteries that are not intended to be recharged!

  The 

resulting damage can be serious and will not be covered by the warranty. For 

maximum charge efficiency, we recommend charging your KRAKATOA II in 

temperatures ranging from 40°F to 85°F (5°C to 30°C).
