Before you begin:
For your safety, the PAL is shipped from the factory with discharged batteries. However, it is
normal if the PAL plays straight out of the box. With the unit off, connect the power supply
to the PAL and plug it into a wall outlet to charge the batteries. (See “Fast Charge Mode”).
Like many rechargeable devices, there may be a delay before the LED starts to blink when
the PAL is brand new and first plugged in, or when left unused for several weeks. This is a
feature of the Power Management System designed to protect the batteries from damage.
Should you experience this, you may “jump start” the “Fast Charge Mode” by playing the
PAL (while plugged in) for approximately 2-3 hours and then turning it off (but still plugged
in). The green LED should begin to flash at that time indicating Fast Charge Mode is active.
In order to complete the charge cycle, leave the PAL plugged in for an additional 4-5 hours
even if the LED has stopped blinking.
Bear in mind it may take up to 4 charge/discharge cycles before the batteries are operating
at full capacity when the PAL is new or has been unused for several weeks.
Leaving the PAL plugged in even when not in use ensures the batteries will be charged
when you need it. If the PAL is not plugged in, the batteries will gradually self-discharge as
a safety measure. There is also no harm in playing the PAL continuously while plugged in.
Jump Start:
In the event there is no power from the battery after giving it a full charge, the battery may
have self-discharged. In this case, try this simple procedure:
1. Play the PAL at moderate volume for 3 hours while connected to the external adapter.
2. After 3 hours, switch the PAL off. The green power LED should begin to flash indicating
the battery is charging.
3. When the LED stops flashing, keep the PAL switched off but leave it plugged into the
external adapter for an additional 4-5 hours to complete the charging process.
