Charging the battery
The HPA40 ships with a rechargeable, internal battery that can power
continuous audio playback for up to 8 hours. We recommend that you fully
charge the battery before your first use.
To charge the battery for the first time, follow this procedure:
- Turn off the HPA40 by pressing the POWER switch.
- Connect the unit to an AC power outlet. The CHARGE LED will light to indicate the battery is charging.
- Keep the unit plugged into AC power until the CHARGE LED indicates the battery has been fully charged.
NOTE: The HPA40 uses a sealed lead-acid gel battery, and the battery will slowly self-discharge when the HPA40 is not in use. Before storing the HPA40 for an extended period, fully charge the battery before storage, and then charge again every 3 months.
NOTE: The lead-acid battery needs to be recharged every 3 months for continued operation. Please replace the battery if the HPA40 operating time noticeably decreases, even after a full charge cycle.
