OUR PERSONAL COUNTDOWN OF DO's and DON'TS.
CHARGING • Look for the green light on the charger when first plugged in. • Connect to black box with switch "off". • Then switch "on", if battery is low, it will go to red. • Do not use a wall strip, aps, or any other device between box and wall. • Charger needs to be directly in the wall. not on a modulated strip. • Either din port is ok for charging or shooting. • Make sure switch is on. √√√√√√√√ when charging • Red indicates heavy charge rate, switches to green for trickle at about 85%. • Leave on charger whenever not being used with switch on. this prevents sulphation. • Only charge when vertical. do not lay or store on side. • Make sure area is ventilated, leave valve open on pelican cases for travel. note: close valve on pelican case if the boat you are on is sinking. in fact, pitch everything and use pelican as a life preserver with valve closed.
