Unlike the AC recharge method, DC recharge does NOT automatically activate the
"battery status" display and provide a taper charge. Battery status can still be
monitored by pressing the battery status level pushbutton.
WARNINGS
• DO NOT DC charge for more than 3-4 hours maximum.
• DO NOT leave unattended while DC charging.
12 Volt DC Charging
1. Insert the gold-tipped DC/DC charging adapter plug into the vehicle's 12 volt
DC accessory outlet.
2. Insert the silver-tipped end plug into the 12 volt DC accessory outlet on the front
panel of the unit.
3. Charge the unit until the green FULL indicator lights when the battery status level
pushbutton is pressed. DO NOT EXCEED 3-4 HOURS MAXIMUM.
4. When charging is completed, remove the charging cord and store in a safe place.
Note:
Make sure ON/OFF Safety Switch and Area Light are Turned OFF During
Recharge As This May Slow Recharge
