|
| "Controls and Indicators" section for more information.) |

2. | Recharge the Battery Pack for 14 to 16 hours to ensure |
|
| a full charge. |

3. | After the Battery Pack is fully recharged, you may need | I |
| to reprogram the channels. |

| event of memory loss. If memory is lost, simply |
| reprogram each channel. |
