accidental arcing, always keep the clips on the storage holders when not using

location, take care to avoid/prevent damage to the cords, clips and Instant

Charge the Instant Power™ internal battery immediately after purchase, after
every use and every 30 days.

at 70 degrees Fahrenheit. The internal battery will gradually self-discharge

in a discharged state may result in permanent battery damage. To ensure
satisfactory performance and avoid permanent damage, charge the internal
battery every month.
