Halftime
1.During halftime leave the XO-AP base station “On”.
2.The XO-1 beltpacks may be turned off for halftime to conserve battery life, or left on.
3.If the XO-1 beltpacks are turned off at halftime, turn the beltpacks on, one at a time. Again, the beltpack’s battery light will indicate immediately, but the unit will require up to 20 seconds to complete start-up.
Before the Next Use
(Charging Instructions)
1.Ensure the XO-1 beltpacks are in the “OFF” position.
2. Ensure the XO-AP base station is in the “OFF”” position.
3.XO-1 Beltpack: Plug the XO-1 beltpack charger into the charge jack on the bottom of the beltpack. The beltpack should be charged in a room temperature location. The LED on the bottom of the unit indicates the charge status.
•RED = Charging
•GREEN = Charging Done
After an event the XO-1 beltpack will need to charge for at least 6 – 8 hours.
The beltpacks may be left on charge indefinitely.
4.XO-AP base station: Plug the XO-AP battery charger into the charge jack on the bottom of the beltpack. The base station should be charged in a room temperature location. The LED on the bottom of the unit indicates the charge status.
•RED = Charging

Long Term Storage
“Long term storage” of the system is defined as no use of the system for 1 month or longer. Due to the internal Li-Ion batteries of the XO-1 and XO-AP, care should be taken in long term storage. Use the following steps to ensure the best performance of the system after it comes out of storage.
1.After the last event or game of the season:
•If the XO-1 or XO-AP batteries were used for four hours or less then do not recharge the internal XO-1 or XO-AP batteries. (Please see the discussion of “Li-Ion batteries” in the follow part of this section as to why)
•If the XO-1 or XO-AP batteries were used for more then four hours then recharge the internal XO-1 or XO-AP batteries for two hours then take them off charge (Please see the discussion of Li-Ion batteries in the follow part of this section as to why)
2.Store the XO-1's and XO-AP in a clean, cool, dry location away from heat. The temperature of the storage location should not rise above room temperature. The recommended temperature range of the storage location is 32 - 77° F (0 – 25° C).
3.Every 6 months charge the XO-AP and XO-1 for three hours then take off charge. Do not fully charge. This prevents the battery from over-discharging and helps maintain the battery’s performance.
