Rechargeable Batteries
Rechargeable lead-acid batteries are the same type used in automobiles. As with your car battery,
how you use this battery has a significant impact on its lifespan. With proper use and treatment, a
lead-acid battery can last for years. Here are some recommendations for getting the longest life from
the internal battery.
General Usage
Fully charge the battery before using the speaker.
Charge the battery completely after each use.
Storage
For best product longevity, do not store at exceedingly hot (greater than 90 °F
32 °C) or exceedingly cold (less than 32 °F / 0 °C) temperatures.
It is acceptable to leave your speaker plugged in. This will not overcharge the
battery.
If you leave the battery level low and do not charge it for 6 months, it may
permanently lose capacity.
Repair
If the battery fails to charge, check your fuse near the power cable input. If your fuse
is intact and it still will not charge, contact ION Audio at ionaudio.com.
Disposal
Bring the unit to a recycling center or dispose of in accordance with local
ordinances.
Extension Cord Warnings:
• Keep all electrical cords in good condition. Do not use worn, bare, or frayed cords, which can
cause electrical shock when Pickup
TM
is connected to wall power.
• If you must use an extension cord, use only grounded extension cords that are rated for outdoor
use and equipment with a third-wire ground.
• Avoid using excessively long extension cords, which can cause voltage drops, causing the cord
to overheat.
• When using long extension cords with Pickup
TM
, use a heavier cord with a larger wire size to
reduce the voltage drop (the longer or thinner the cord, the greater the voltage drop).
North America: Do not use Pickup
TM
with an IEC input cable rated for less than 15 A.
