Guidelines for Charging With the Micro-USB Cable Charge this device using the
included Micro-USB Cable connected to a computer. Do not charge using a third
party adaptor. Before use, inspect the cord to confirm that it is in good
condition and that there are no breaks or exposed wires. Ensure there are no
particles or liquid (water, juice, etc.) in either of the connectors before
plugging in either end of the cable. The device should be completely dry with
no debris in the cable connectors when charging. Securely plug in the cable in
the correct orientation. Never leave the device unattended while charging. Do
not charge your device on soft surfaces, as they can trap heat around the
device. Typical charging time is approximately 2-3 hours if the battery is
fully depleted. Disconnect the device when it is fully charged. Do not leave
the device charging for more than 4 hours. The actual charging time depends on
the charging current, the remaining charge in the battery prior to recharging
and the ambient temperature. The optimum ambient temperature is 32°F – 104°F
(0°C – 40°C).
Battery Life
The time the battery lasts between charges depends on usage.
Like other electronic devices, more frequent usage will drain the battery more
quickly. When the battery level is low as shown by the red Indicator Light, it
is recommended to charge the battery before further use. When the battery
level is too low, the LeapPods Max™ will not turn on until it is sufficiently
recharged.
Battery Maintenance
Charge the battery regularly for optimal performance, even when the LeapPods
Max™ is not regularly in use. For example, charge the LeapPods Max™ at least
once every six months.
