RECHARGING THE Pocket Generator™
CAUTION:
• IMPORTANT: Before recharging from an AC power source, verify that the source
is 110-volts only. Do not plug this unit's 110-volt charger into a 220-volt
power source.
• IMPORTANT: Be sure that power inverter ON/OFF switch is in OFF position
before recharging.
Recharging From A 1 10-volt AC Power Source
1. Before initial use, it will take 18-20 hours to fully charge the Pocket Generator™ .
Subsequent charges will only take 12-15 hours (approx.).
2. Insert the cigarette lighter plug at the end of the AC charger cord into the
matching 12-volt receptacle on the side of the Pocket Generator™ .
3. Plug the charger into any standard 110/120-volt AC electrical outlet. Never
plug a 110-volt charger into a 220-volt power source.
Recharging From A 12-volt DC Power Source
CAUTION:
Do not connect the Pocket Generator™ DC charger to a car or boat electrical
system (12-volt DC negative-ground only) without first starting the engine. Failure to
do so could damage the vehicle's battery.
1. Insert the cigarette lighter plug at one end of the DC charger cord into the
matching 12-volt receptacle on the side of the Pocket Generator™ .
2. Insert the cigarette lighter plug at the other end of the cord into the vehicle's
cigarette lighter receptacle. Rotate the plug slightly to ensure good contact. A
green L.E.D. light on the cigarette plug will indicate a proper connection.
3. The Pocket Generator™ should be charged initially for 4-6 hours, while driving,
before use. Subsequent charges should only require 2-4hours (approx.).
4. The DC charging system will not provide as full a charge as is obtained with a
110-volt charging system.
