Recharging the Battery Pack

To recharge the battery pack, connect the AC adapter/charger. A full recharge takes
approximately 5 hours. For maximum efficiency, recharge the battery at room
temperature.

To recharge the Li-Ion battery:
Connect the unit to a power outlet (or car outlet) using the AC adapter/charger. The
charge cycle will start and end automatically.

Note:

While charging, the battery indicator animates continuously. It does not
reflect the actual charge status until charging is complete.

Since isopropyl alcohol is not absolutely pure, it may leave residues
if used abundantly or left to evaporate (about 10 seconds).
Avoid contact between the tip of the bottle and the wiping cloth,
dry the surface quickly, and use a bottle that distributes only a drop
of alcohol at a time.
