Internal Battery Charger
Internal Battery Charger
A fully charged internal battery will provide over 24 hours of operation. Under typical use the
internal battery is 90% charged after charging for 60 minutes. However, it takes approximately
2 hours to optimally condition the charge on the internal battery.
To charge an internal battery:
1. Make sure the 12 volt wall adapter is connected to the device and the other end is
plugged into the break-away cable. To plug in the adapter to the device, connect it to
the open connection on the front of the device.
2. Plug the wa
ll adapter into a power outlet.
3. Make sure that the “charging LED” illuminates on the device. The Green LED will
only show after the device has been powered up.
Note: While device is connected to wall adapter a double green flash every 1 second of
the LED indicator reflects that the internal battery is charging. A solid green light
indicates the internal battery is fully charged. Following 3 hours of displaying a solid
green, the LED indicator will return to the normal operation of a single green flash
every 5 seconds. To confirm that battery is indeed fully charged, simply disconnect
the power connector from the device and reinsert and then wait for 5 seconds, if
fully charged the LED will show solid Green.
