In the above situation, plug the WPA1000 to the USB charging cable which is with DC in port or put the unit into the WPA1000 USB Docking Station (with 5V/3A AC-DC adapter), and recharge the unit for 16 hours in order to fully charge its backup battery.
Storage and Safety Notice Although charged Lithium-Ion batteries may be left unused for several months, their capacity may be depleted due to build up of internal resistance. If this happens they will require recharging prior to use. Lithium-Ion batteries may be stored at temperatures between -20°C to 60°C, however they may be depleted more rapidly at the high end of this range.
