MAXIMIZING THE LIFE OF YOUR
BATTERY
1 To enhance battery life, this vacuum
is equipped with an advanced feature
that will shut off the vacuum when
the battery is almost fully discharged.
If the vacuum shuts off while in use,
charge the unit until the complete
oval around the power button is
illuminated, indicating a full charge.
2 Charge the vacuum for 6 hours
before initial use. After initial use,
each recharge will take 3 to 6 hours.
A complete oval around the power
button will illuminate when the charge
is complete.
3 The precision charger monitors the
batteries so you don’t have to. A
complete charge can take as little as
3 hours, but may take up to 6 hours
because the charger monitors battery
properties to extend battery life.
Leaving the unit in the charger past
the complete charge time will NOT
harm the batteries.
4 If the vacuum has never been used
or has not been used for an extended
period of time, it will take 3 to 5
complete charge and run down cycles
to realize the full operational time of
the vacuum.
5 Do not store or charge in areas of high
temperature or humidity.
6 Use only the charge adapter supplied
with this unit, marked with “For
SV1100 Models Only”. If other
chargers are used, the battery can fail
causing damage to the battery, to the
vacuum, or to personal property.
3 This unit is equipped with a
precision charger that monitors
the batteries to ensure a full
charge for every use and to extend
the life of the batteries. Depending
on usage, the time for a full
charge is 3 to 6 hours.
4 One half of the blue LED light
around the power button will
illuminate while the unit is
charging. When the charge is
complete, the complete oval will
be illuminated. (fig. 4)
If the charging light does not
illuminate, ensure that the
charging adapter is plugged
in properly to the wall outlet
and to the back of the charging
base. Also ensure that the
unit is properly seated in the
charging base.
