The R-1 uses a Nickel-Metal-Hydride battery pack stored in the battery compartment. Leaving the AC adaptor connected to the R- 1 and plugged in AC line, even when not in use, ensures the batteries will be fully charged when you need to use the R-1 on battery power. The R-1 can be used for 6 to 7 hours after batteries are fully charged.
<When the batteries become discharged and need to be recharged, the POWER ON indicator blinks at intervals. And the blinling will grow faster as the batteries get closer to discharge until the R-1 shuts off automatically to protect the batteries.
<When the R-1 is not used but the AC adaptor plugged in, the batteries will be completely charged within approximately 3.5 hours from full discharge. During this period the POWER ON indicator flushes at intervals.
<When the R-1 is ON and the AC adaptor plugged in, the batteries will be completely charged within approximately 24 hours.
<It may take up to 4 charge and discharge cycles before the batteries are operating at full capacity when the R-1 is new or left unused for several weeks.
It is suggested that the R-1 is plugged in for about 12 hours before you use it first.
<Once the R-1 has been fully charged while it is OFF, do not unplug the AC adaptor and then immediately plug it again, as this will restart the charging even though the batteries are fully charged . Doing this repeatedly will damage the batteries.
<If the R-1 is not plugged in, the batteries will slowly self-discharge as a safety measure.
