BATTERY CARE
Make sure the battery is fully charged before you use the AirMap PPP
for the first time. When fully discharged, it takes approximately nine
hours to recharge the battery. Under ordinary operating conditions, the
battery will run your unit with the backlight on full bright for approxi-
mately 10 hours and with the backlight at a reduced level, about 24
hours. (Battery capacity will vary depending on the temperature and
backlight use.)
Battery charger's indicator light glows red when charging, green when
battery is fully charged. To charge, attach red connector to red (posi-
tive) contact and black connector to black (negative) contact.
To charge the battery, plug the charger into a 110 VAC electrical outlet,
then connect the red lead to the red battery contact and connect the
black lead to the black battery contact. When you plug in the charger,
the indicator light glows green to indicate it is receiving power. When
you connect the battery, the light turns red, showing it is charging.
When the light turns green again, the battery is fully charged.
You can recharge the battery after every flight, even if the battery was
not fully discharged. This will always keep the unit ready for your next
trip. Disconnect the battery when stored for long periods of time. You
should also consider charging the battery once a month while in stor-
age.
