3. CHARGING/RECHARGING

For maximum battery life, we recommend the VECTOR
charged at all times. If the battery is allowed to remain in a discharged state,
battery life will be shortened.
NOTE: Recharging battery after each use will prolong battery life; frequent
discharges between recharges will reduce battery life
IMPORTANT:
• MAKE SURE ALL SWITCHES ARE TURNED OFF DURING RECHARGING
• Charge unit for full 48 hours using AC method, prior to first use
• Recharge unit fully after each use
• Recharge unit once a month when not in use
