CHARGING THE UNIT

IMPORTANT! CHARGE THE UNIT IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASE,
AFTER EACH USE, AND AT LEAST EVERY 3 MONTHS, OR WHEN

BATTERY FULLY CHARGED AND PROLONG BATTERY LIFE.
Failure to do this will reduce the battery's capacity and may void
the warranty.

Press the Power button to check the battery level of the unit.
The LEDs will indicate the battery level, as follows:

Charge the internal battery if the level is below 50%.
