3.1) The Charger.

At the front section of the Charger there are indication lights that indicate when the DOLPHIN's battery is charging and when the battery is fully charged.

Red light will blink when the battery is charging.

+ Green and Red lights will blink after the battery is nearly fully charged.

Green light stays constantly lit after the battery charging is completed.

Yellow light will blink when the filter bag needs cleaning. It will remain lit when the filter bag is clogged and needs washing.

	Used to reset the filter bag indicator in case the light stays lit after filter bag clean up or
Reset	wash up. This button is also used to initiate Long Term Charging Mode when charging the
	battery for long term storage. (See point 3.3 for more details)

Note: The filter bag indication light is a recommendation. For best DOLPHIN performance, it is recommended to clean the bag when filter bag light turns ON.

The DOLPHIN pool cleaner and Charger have been designed for safe, maintenance-free outdoor use. Important safety instruction: Do not use with or connect the charger to any other appliance. Caution: The Charger and the float should be placed in a cool and shaded area.

Charging quality and battery longevity will be adversely affected if ambient temperatures either exceed 90°F or drop below 41°F (32°C - 5°C). Bring Charger to an ideal temperature range of 41°F to 90°F (5°C to 32°C).

3.2) Charging of DOLPHIN Battery

USE ONLY ORIGINAL DOLPHIN CHARGER!

Important Notes:

•The DOLPHIN should be charged before its first in-pool use. (Also refer to points 3.3 and 3.4).

•Always charge the DOLPHIN battery after cleaning cycle ends.

•Ensure that the float switch is in an ‘OFF’ position.

•Warning! The DOLPHIN should never be charged near the edge of the pool.

Charging should take place at a minimum distance of 10 Ft. (3 m) from the pool's edge (3 m.).

•Optimal charging time is 3-5 hours or if Full Batt green light is constantly ON.

•Ensure that charging plug and sockets are clean and dry before connecting charging-cable plug [7 page-10]to the DOLPHIN float .

•Switch ON the Charger and charge the battery until green Full batt lamp lights up. Should this lamp blink, this means that the battery is almost full to its maximum capacity.

•Switch OFF the Charger after charging is completed.

•Disconnect charging cable from float.

Caution: For optimal battery longevity and performance, bring battery to an ideal temperature range of 41°F to 90°F (5°C to 32°C).

3.3) Periodical charging of the DOLPHIN's battery

Like any battery, the lifespan and charge level of the battery is subject to fluctuations, which are related to environmental factors such as temperature or continuity of use.

The battery would remain charged, for a period of up to 12 months, if DOLPHIN is stored or not being used. The DOLPHIN should be charged at end-of-season or before storing DOLPHIN for a lengthy period of time (min. 1 month).

Important: Before storing DOLPHIN, it is imperative to charge the battery using Long Term Storage Charge Mode. To initiate this mode, press and hold the Reset button until all indicator lights display a fast blinking. Storing DOLPHIN for a lengthy period of time without performing a long term charging, will reduce performance and longevity of the battery.

The battery must be recharged if DOLPHIN was not used for a period of 12 months.
