Before using your portable power pack, you should fully charge it. The high
charge indicator light will come on when the unit has been charged. Re-
charge every 30 days or when the medium or low lights indicate less than full
charge. Fluctuations in temperature can accelerate battery discharge. Check
your unit often.
