Notes Concerning the DC Charging Method:
A, IMPORTANT: The DC recharging method will NOT recharge the
unit as effectively as recharging from 120 volt AC. Manufacturer
suggests that you only use the 12 Volt DC Charging Adapter
if the unit needs to be charged immediately and no 120 volt
power source is available.
B. When using a vehicle's 12V DC accessory outlet as a power
source, be aware that some vehicles require the ignition be
turned on to power the accessory outlet.
C. The bars on the Battery Icon will continue changing from empty
to solid (bottom to top) repeatedly, but may not show 4 solid
bars when using the 12 volt DC charging method.
