3.CHARGING/RECHARGING
For maximum battery life, we recommend the VECTOR® system be kept fully 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
