IV. NOTICE– READ BEFORE USE
A. CHOOSE THE RIGHT SCOOTER & SAFETY OPTIONS
Sunrise provides a choice of many power mobility devices to meet the needs of the rider.
However, final selection of a scooter rests solely with you and your health care profession-
al. Choosing the best scooter for you depends on such things as:
1. Your size, disability, strength, balance and coordination.
2. Your intended use, and your level of activity.
3. The types of hazards you must overcome in daily use (in areas where you are likely to
use your scooter).
4. The need for options for your safety and comfort (such as positioning belts or special
seat systems).
B. ADJUST SCOOTER TO YOUR ABILITY
You need to work with your doctor, nurse or therapist, and your supplier, to fit this scooter
and adjust the controller settings for your level of function and ability.
C. REVIEW THIS MANUAL OFTEN
Before using this scooter you, and each person who may assist you, should read this entire
Manual and make sure to follow all instructions. Review the warnings often, until they are
second nature to you.
D. WARNINGS
The word “WARNING” refers to a hazard or unsafe practice that may cause severe injury or
death to you or to other persons. The “Warnings” are in four main sections, as follows:
1. V — EMI
Here you will learn about electromagnetic interference and how it can affect your
scooter.
2. VI — GENERAL WARNINGS
Here you will find a safety checklist and a summary of risks you need to be aware of
before you ride this scooter.
3. VII — WARNINGS — COMPONENTS & OPTIONS
Here you will learn about your scooter. Consult your supplier and your health care
professional to help you choose the best set-up and options for your safety.
4. XI — BATTERIES
Here you will learn about battery and charger safety, and how to avoid injury.
NOTE– Where they apply, you will also find “Warnings” in other sections of this Manual.

V. E M I ( E l e c t r o m a g n e t i c I n t e r f e r e n c e )
E n g l i s h
V. EMI (ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE)
Heed all warnings to reduce the risk of unintended brake release or scooter move-
ment:
1. Beware of the danger from hand-held transceivers. Never turn on or use a
hand-held transceiver while power to your scooter is on. Use extra care
if you believe that such a device may be in use near your scooter.
2. Be aware of nearby radio or TV stations, and avoid coming close to them.
3. If unintended movement occurs, turn your scooter off as soon as it is safe to
do so.
A. WHAT IS EMI?
1. EMI means: electromagnetic (EM) interference (I). EMI comes from radio wave sources
such as radio transmitters and transceivers. (A “transceiver” is a device that both
sends and receives radio wave signals).
2. There are a number of sources of intense EMI in your daily environment.
Some of these are obvious and easy to avoid. Others are not, and you may not be
able to avoid them.
3. Powered scooters may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) emitted
from sources such as radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters,
two way radios, and cellular phones.
4. EMI can also be produced by conducted sources or electro-static discharge (ESD).
B. WHAT EFFECT CAN EMI HAVE?
1. EMI can cause your scooter, without warning, to:
•
•
•
Release its brakes
Move by itself
Move in unintended directions
If any of these occurs, it could result in severe injury to you or others.
2. EMI can damage the control system of your scooter. This could create a safety
ard, and lead to costly repairs.
haz-
C. SOURCES OF EMI
The sources of EMI fall into three broad types:
1. Hand-Held Transceivers:
The antenna is usually mounted directly on the unit. These include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Citizens band (CB) radios
“Walkie-talkies”
Security, fire and police radios
Cellular phones
Lap-top computers with phone or fax
Other personal communication devices
NOTE– These devices can transmit signals while they are on, even if not in use.
2. Medium-Range Mobile Transceivers:
These include two-way radios used in police cars, fire trucks, ambulances and taxi cabs. The
antenna is usually mounted on the outside of the vehicle.
3. Long-Range Transceivers:
These include commercial radio and TV broadcast antenna towers and amateur (HAM) radios.
Note: The following are not likely to cause EMI problems: Lap-top computers (without
phone or fax), Cordless phones, TV sets or AM/FM radios, CD or tape players.

V. E M I ( E l e c t r o m a g n e t i c I n t e r f e r e n c e )
E n g l i s h
D. DISTANCE FROM THE SOURCE
EM energy rapidly becomes more intense as you get closer to the source. For this
reason, EMI from hand-held devices is of special concern. (See C.1) A person
using one of these devices can bring high levels of EM energy very close to your
scooter without you knowing it.
E. IMMUNITY LEVEL
1. The level of EM energy is measured in volts per meter (V/m). Every power scooter can
resist EMI up to a certain level. This is called its “immunity level”.
2. The higher the immunity level, the less the risk of EMI. It is believed that a
20 V/m immunity level will protect the power scooter user from the more common
sources of radio waves.
3. The configurations tested and found to be immune to at least 20 V/m are:
a. Guardian Ruby power wheelchair with a right-hand mounted Penny & Giles VSI
integral controller, fish-on seat, flip-down armrests, solid flip-up footplate and
12AH battery pack.
b. Guardian Ruby 11 power wheelchair with a right-hand mounted Penny & Giles VSI
integral controller, highback seat, flip-back armrests, solid flip-up footplate and
12AH battery pack.
c. Guardian Garnet with a control pod, fish-on seat and 10AH battery pack.
Individuals with physical limitations requiring the use of a specialty control
input device known not to be immune to 20V/m, or not known, should exercise
extra care around known sources of EMI.
There is no way to know the effect on EMI if you add accessories or modify this
scooter. Any change to your scooter may increase the risk of EMI. Parts from
other suppliers have unknown EMI properties.
F. REPORT ALL SUSPECTED EMI INCIDENTS
You should promptly report any unintended movement or brake release. Be sure
to indicate whether there was a radio wave source near your scooter at the time.
Contact: Sunrise Medical Customer Service Department at (800) 333-4000.

VI. GENERAL WARNINGS
E n g l i s h
Heed all warnings in this section. If you fail to do so a fall, tip-over or loss of
control may occur and cause severe injury to you or others.
A. NOTICE TO RIDER
1. Before using this scooter, you should be trained in its safe use by your health care
professional.
2. Every scooter is different. Take the time to learn the feel of this scooter before you
begin riding.
3. Be aware that you must develop your own methods for the safe use of this scooter
that are best suited to your level of function and ability.
4. Have someone help you practice bending, reaching and transferring until you learn
how to do them safely.
5. Never try a new maneuver on your own unless you are sure it is safe.
6. Get to know the areas where you plan to use your scooter. Look for hazards and learn
how to avoid them.
7. Do not allow additional riders on the scooter, armrests or chassis. Doing so may
result in injury or damage.
B. NOTICE TO ATTENDANTS
Make sure you heed all warnings and follow all instructions in each section of this
manual. (Be aware that warnings that apply to the rider also apply to you).
Notes:
1. You need to work with the rider and the rider’s doctor, nurse or therapist, to
develop safe methods best suited to your abilities and those of the rider.
2. To manually push the scooter you must release the motor locks.
•
Make sure you have full control over the scooter when you release the motor locks.
When you do so the scooter will not have brakes.
3. Propel this scooter by the armrest supports only. If using a seat frame, propel the
scooter by the push handles on the top of the backrest posts. They provide secure
points for you to hold the rear of the scooter to prevent a fall or tip-over.
C. WEIGHT LIMIT
1. Never exceed a total weight of 250 lbs/113.6 kg for rider plus items carried.
2. Never use this scooter for weight training if the total weight (rider plus additional
weights) exceeds 250 lbs/113.6 kg.
3. Exceeding the weight limit is likely to damage the seat, frame, or fasteners and may
cause severe injury to you or others from scooter failure.
4. Exceeding the weight limit will void the warranty.

E n g l i s h
D. EMI
Read Section V to learn about EMI. To reduce the risk of unintended brake release
or scooter movement:
1. Never turn on or use a hand-held transceiver while power to your scooter is on.
Use extra care if you believe that such a device may be in use near your scooter.
2. Be aware of nearby radio or TV stations, and avoid coming close to them.
3. If unintended movement or brake release occurs, turn your scooter off as soon as it
is safe.
E. SAFETY CHECK-LIST
Before each use of this scooter:
1. Make sure the scooter operates smoothly. Check for noise, vibration, or a change in
ease of use. (They may indicate low tire pressure, loose fasteners, or damage to your
scooter). If you detect a problem, make sure to repair or adjust the scooter.
Deferring repair or adjustment could increase the risk for injury. Your supplier can
help you find and correct the problem.
2. Make sure batteries are charged. Green lights on charge indicator will light up (or
charge indicator will indicate a full charge) when charge is full. Yellow lights indicate
battery charge level is getting low. Red lights indicate batteries are in immediate
need of charging.
F. CHANGES & ADJUSTMENTS
Never use non-Guardian parts or make changes to your scooter unless authorized
by Sunrise. (Doing so will void the Warranty and may create a safety hazard).
1. If you modify or adjust this scooter it may increase the risk of a fall or tip-over.
2. Modifications unauthorized by Sunrise constitutes remanufacturing of the scooter.
This voids the warranty. The rider then assumes all future liability for the scooter.
G. WHEN SEATED IN A PARKED SCOOTER
1. Always turn off all power to your scooter when you are parked, even for a moment. This
will prevent:
•Accidental movement from contact with the control pod by you or others.
•Unintended brake release or movement from EMI sources. (See Section V)
2. Make sure that persons who help you (for example, store clerks) are aware of the
control pod and do not touch it. If they do, your scooter may move suddenly when
you do not expect it.
H. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
Your scooter is not designed for use in a heavy rain storm, or in snowy or
icy conditions.
1. Contact with water or excessive moisture can cause an electrical malfunction. The
frame, motors and other scooter parts are not watertight and may rust or corrode
from the inside. To avoid a scooter failure:
•
•
•
Minimize exposure of your scooter to a rain storm or very wet conditions.
Never take your scooter into a shower, tub, pool or sauna.
Do not use your scooter in fresh or salt water (such as at the edge of a stream,
lake, or ocean).
•
•
•
Make sure shroud cover is secure.
Make sure all electrical connections are secure.
Dry the scooter as soon as you can if it gets wet, or if you use water to clean it.

E n g l i s h
2. Proceed slowly and use extra care if you must operate your scooter on a wet or slick
surface.
•
•
Do so only if you are sure it is safe.
Stop if one or both main wheels lose traction. If this occurs, you may lose control
of your scooter or fall.
•
•
Never operate your scooter on a slope or ramp if there is snow, ice, water or oil
film present.
When in doubt, have someone help you.
3. When not in use, keep your scooter in a clean, dry place.
Extra caution should be used when employing the disc switch or the proximity
head array as control devices. These two devices are susceptible to malfunction
when wet.
I. TERRAIN
1. This scooter is designed for use on firm, even surfaces such as concrete, asphalt and
indoor flooring.
2. Do not operate your scooter in sand, loose soil or over rough terrain. Doing so may
damage wheels, bearings, axles or motors, or loosen fasteners.
J. STREET USE
In most states, power scooters are not legal for use on public roads. Be alert to
the danger of motor vehicles on roads or in parking lots.
1. At night, or when it is hard to see, use reflective tape on your scooter and clothing.
2. It may be hard for drivers to see you. Make eye contact with drivers before you pro-
ceed. When in doubt, yield until you are sure it is safe.
K. MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY
To date, the U.S. Department of Transportation has not approved any tie down
system for transporting a scooter in a motor vehicle.
1. Never sit in this scooter while in a moving vehicle. In an accident or sudden stop you
may be thrown from the scooter.
2. Always move to an approved vehicle seat. You must be secured with proper motor
vehicle restraints.
3. Never transport this scooter in the front seat of a vehicle. It may shift and interfere
with the driver.
4. Always secure this scooter so that it cannot roll or shift.
L. CENTER OF BALANCE
The point where this scooter will tip forward, back or to the side depends on its
center of balance and stability.
The Center Of Balance Is Affected By:
1. The seat height and seat angle.
2. A change in your body position, posture or weight distribution.
3. Using this scooter on a ramp or slope.
4. The use of a back pack or other options, and the amount of added weight.

V I . G e n e r a l W a r n i n g s
E n g l i s h
To Reduce The Risk Of A Fall Or Tip-Over:
1. Consult your supplier for information on modifications authorized by Sunrise before
you modify or adjust this scooter.
NOTE– You may need to make additional changes to correct the center of balance.
2. Use extreme care until you know the balance points of this scooter and how to avoid
a fall or tip-over.
M. TRANSFERS
It is dangerous to transfer on your own. It requires good balance and agility. Be
aware that there is a point during every transfer when the scooter seat is not
below you. To avoid a fall:
1. Always turn off power before you transfer to or from your scooter. If you fail to do so
you may touch the joystick/control pod and cause your scooter to move when you do
not expect it.
2. Make sure motor locks are engaged. This keeps the scooter from moving when you
transfer.
3. Work with your health care professional to learn safe methods.
•
•
Learn how to position your body and how to support yourself during a transfer.
Have someone help you until you are sure you can do a safe transfer on your own.
4. Move your scooter as close as you can to the seat you are transferring to.
If possible, use a transfer board.
5. Make sure armrests do not interfere.
6. Transfer as far back onto the seat surface as you can. This will reduce the risk
that you will miss the seat or fall.
N. REACHING OR LEANING
Reaching or leaning affects the center of balance of your scooter. If done improp-
erly, a fall or tip-over is likely. When in doubt, ask for help or use a device to
extend your reach.
To Reduce the Risk of Injury and/or Damage to the Scooter:
1. Never reach or lean if you must shift your weight sideways or rise up off the seat.
2. Never reach or lean if you must move forward in your seat to do so. Always keep your
buttocks in contact with the backrest.
3. Never reach with both hands (you may not be able to catch yourself to prevent a fall
if you lose your balance).
4. Never try to pick up an object from the floor by reaching down between your knees.
5. Never put pressure on the foot platform while reaching. This may cause the scooter
to tip if you lean too far.
6. Never reach or lean over the top of the seat back. This may damage the backrest and
cause you to fall.
IF YOU MUST REACH OR LEAN, DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Remember to:
1. Move your scooter as close as you can to the object you wish to reach.
2. Turn off all power to your scooter. If you fail to do so, you may touch the control
pod and cause your scooter to move when you do not expect it.
3. Firmly grasp an armrest with one hand. This will help to prevent a fall if the scooter
tips.

O. DRESSING OR CHANGING CLOTHES
Be aware that your weight will shift if you dress or change clothes while seated
in this scooter.
P. OBSTACLES
Obstacles you may have to overcome in daily use include door thresholds, lifts,
ramps and hazards such as potholes and broken pavement. These can damage your
scooter and may cause a fall, tip-over or loss of control.
1. Be aware that thresholds are very dangerous. (Even a small change in height may
stop a caster wheel and cause your scooter to tip). You may need to:
•
•
Remove or cover threshold strips between rooms.
Install a ramp at entry or exit doors.
2. Keep your eyes moving when you ride; scan the area well ahead of your scooter.
3. Make sure the floor areas where you use this scooter are level and free of obstacles.
4. To help correct your center of balance:
•
•
Lean your upper body forward slightly as you go up over an obstacle.
Press your upper body backward as you go down from a higher to a lower level.
Q. DRIVING IN REVERSE
Use extra care when you drive your scooter in reverse. You may lose control or fall
if one of the rear wheels hits an object.
1. Operate your scooter slowly and at an even speed.
2. Stop often and check to make sure your path is clear of obstacles.
R. RAMPS, SLOPES & SIDEHILLS
The center of balance of your scooter changes when you are on a slope.
NOTE– “Slope” includes a ramp or sidehill. Your scooter is less stable when it is at an angle. Never use
this scooter on a slope unless you are sure it is safe.
When in doubt, have someone help you.
Beware Of:
1. Steep slopes. Do Not use this scooter on a slope steeper than 10%. (A 10% slope
means: One foot in elevation for every ten feet of slope length).
2. Wet or slippery surfaces (such as when ice, snow, water or oil film is present). A loss
of traction may cause a fall or tip-over.
3. A change in grade on a slope (or a lip, bump or depression). These may cause a fall
or tip-over.
4. A drop-off at the bottom of a slope. (A drop-off of as small as 3/4 inch can stop a
front caster and cause the scooter to tip forward).

S. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A FALL, TIP-OVER OR LOSS OF CONTROL
1. Never use your scooter on a slope unless you are sure you can do so without losing
traction.
2. Always go as straight up and as straight down as you can.
•
•
Do not “cut the corner” on a slope or ramp.
Do not turn or change direction on a slope.
3. Always stay in the center of the ramp. Make sure ramp is wide enough that you are
not at risk that a wheel may roll off the side.
4. Lean or press your body uphill. This will help adjust for a change in the center of
balance caused by the slope.
5. Keep your scooter moving at a slow, steady speed. Keep control over the scooter at all
times.
•
•
On a descent, do not let your scooter accelerate beyond its normal speed.
If the scooter picks up speed, center the joystick to slow down or stop.
NOTE– The solid state controller of your scooter has a logic system that will help control your speed
when driving on a slope or uphill.
•
If you stop, re-start slowly.
T. RAMPS AT HOME & WORK
Make sure ramps meet all Building Codes for your area.
1. For your safety, have a licensed contractor build or remodel ramp to meet all standards.
2. NOTE– The proper design will vary, depending on such things as: the length and
height of the ramp; the need for an intermediate platform; landing size; doors and
the direction of swing; and whether the ramp includes a turn or angle.
At A Minimum:
1. Open sides of ramp must have side rails to prevent your scooter from going over the
edge.
2. Slope must not be steeper than one inch in height for every one foot of slope length.
3. Ramp surface must be even, and have a non-skid surface.
4. You may need to add a section at the top or bottom to avoid a lip or drop-off.
5. Ramp must be sturdy. Add bracing if needed, so ramp does not “bow” when you ride
on it.
U. WHEELCHAIR/SCOOTER LIFTS
Wheelchair/Scooter lifts are used in vans, buses, and buildings to help you move
from one level to another.
1. Always turn off all power to your scooter when you are on a lift. If you fail to do so,
you may touch the control pod by accident and cause your scooter to drive off the
platform. (Be aware that a “roll-stop” at the end of the platform may not prevent this).
2. Make sure there is not a lip or drop-off at the top or bottom of the platform. These
may cause a fall or tip-over. When in doubt, have someone help you.
3. Always secure the rider with a positioning belt to help prevent falls during transfers.
4. Avoid moving forward if a wheel is “hung up” on the lip of the ramp. Backup, reposi-
tion the caster for a more direct approach and slowly try again.

2. The Pre-Set Speed Knob
Turning the knob to the left reduces your available maximum speed. Turning it to the right
increases the available maximum speed.
3. The Battery Gauge
This gives an approximation of battery charge.
The gauge is marked from “E” empty to “F” full. For extra clarity there is a colored graduat-
ed scale rangiing from RED (Empty) through YELLOW to GREEN (Full).
As the scooter moves over differing terrain, the battery gauge will dip up and down. This is
normal. For a more accurate indication, stop the scooter and note the reading.
GREEN indicates ready for use.
YELLOW indicates batteries to be charged as soon as possible.
RED indicates charge batteries immediately.
NOTE– If you find that your battery gauge has gone into the red while you are out and about, you can
increase the remaining range of your scooter by reducing your maximum available speed, but
you MUST charge your scooter as soon as you can.
4. Throttle Lever
The throttle lever offers finger-tip control of your scooter. It controls the speed as well as
forward and reverse motion. Pushing the right-hand side of the lever away from you moves
the scooter forwards. Pushing the left-hand side of the lever away from you moves the
scooter in reverse and sounds a reversing beeper. The more you move the lever the more
your speed increases up to its pre-set maximum. It is possible to operate your scooter
using one side of the throttle lever. To do this you must PUSH and PULL on the chosen side
of the throttle lever.
NOTE– One-hand operaion requires carefull concentration and is more tiring than normal operation.
5. Horn Button
Pressing the yellow horn button operates an audible beep. Use this function to warn pedes-
trians of your presence when necessary.
6. Key On-Off Switch
Make sure that this switch is in the OFF position BEFORE getting on or off the scooter.

XI. BATTERIES
A. INTRODUCTION
1. Notes:
•
•
•
Batteries supply the power for your scooter. They contain a finite amount of energy
and have limits on how long they can store and supply energy.
You can charge batteries only a certain number of times before they will fail and no
longer hold a charge.
For answers to questions about batteries, consult your supplier.
2. Use Proper Battery Case:
Your scooter operates on two 12/10 A batteries in a battery case.
•
Only use a battery case.
3. Breaking In:
•
•
A battery requires “breaking-in” for the first 6 to 12 charges. It will not accept a full
charge for this period.
It is best to limit the length of your trips until you break the batteries in and you
know the range of your scooter.
4. Discharged Batteries:
•
•
•
Never allow a battery to completely discharge. If you operate your scooter until it
has almost stopped, you will greatly reduce the life of your batteries.
Never let a battery sit in a discharged condition. Give unused or stored batteries a
full charge once per month.
Always fully charge the batteries. Avoid “topping off” with frequent charges.
Never connect a life support or auxiliary device to a scooter battery. The electri-
cal system may fail and result in severe injury to or death of rider.
B. BATTERY CHARGER
A battery charger produces a direct current (DC). When applied to a discharged battery,
this reverses the chemical reaction that led to its discharge.
1. Charge Rate. How fast a battery will charge depends on:
•
•
Its electrical capacity, state of charge, electrolyte temperature, and internal condition.
The DC output of the charger. (The charge rate will vary if the alternating current
(AC) supply is higher or lower than 110 volts).
2. CAUTION– To Avoid Damage to the Charger
•
•
•
Never expose charger to rain or snow.
Never unplug charger by pulling on the electrical cord. This will damage the cord.
Never open a charger or attempt to repair it yourself. Return charger to Sunrise or
have repairs made only by a qualified person.
•
Keep cord out of the way, where it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or damaged.
3. CAUTION– To Avoid Damage to the Battery
•
Make sure you use the correct setting for sealed (gel) batteries (located on the off-
board charger).
•
Never charge a frozen battery. A fully charged battery will rarely freeze, but the fluid
in a discharged battery can freeze at 16 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 9 degrees
Centigrade). If you suspect a battery is frozen, thaw it before charging.
Lead acid batteries generate explosive gas while charging. Completely read and
follow all warnings about the batteries in this user instruction manual and any
labels applied to the product. Failure to do so could result in fire, explosion,
injury and/or death.

C. ACID BURNS (UNSEALED WET CELL BATTERIES)
1. Use extreme care not to spill acid when you handle wet cell batteries.
Keep batteries upright.
2. Avoid contact of acid with bare skin or clothing.
3. Always wear rubber gloves and safety glasses when you handle batteries.
4. If acid contacts your skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water.
5. If acid contacts your eyes, immediately flood eyes with cold running water
for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention immediately.
Sunrise Medical does not recommend the use of wet cell batteries on this scooter.
D. CONNECTING BATTERIES IN BATTERY WELL
1. Each battery weighs up to 22 lbs. Take care to avoid injury when lifting.
2. Keep batteries upright. Take care not to spill acid (wet cell batteries).
3. Always wear rubber gloves and safety glasses when you handle batteries.
4. Before working around batteries, remove all metal personal effects, such as
necklaces, rings, watches, pins, and other metal jewelry that might contact
battery terminal and cause a short.
Never make direct contact across both battery terminals, as an explosion may occur.
A spark may result in an explosion and/or fire resulting in severe injury or death.
E. CHARGING BATTERIES
To avoid the risk of severe injury or death from electrical shock, fire or explosion
while charging:
1. Never connect charger to a 240 volt source. The main input voltage is 110 volts.
2. Never touch the charger after it is connected to an electrical outlet. This may cause
electrical shock.
•
Never connect or disconnect charger from battery while there is power to
the charger.
3. Never use an extension cord. Use of an improper cord could damage the charger or
cause a fire or electrical shock.
4. A battery emits explosive hydrogen gas during charging. To reduce the risk of fire
or explosion:
•
•
•
Make sure area is well vented. Never charge battery in a closed-in area.
Never smoke or allow a spark, flame or high heat near battery during charging.
Never allow metal tools or scooter parts to make direct contact across both bat-
tery terminals.
5. Never look directly into cells when charging battery (wet cell batteries).
ALWAYS:
A
1. Use the charger that comes with your scooter. Read and follow all instructions and
warnings.
2. Make sure room is well ventilated.
3. Turn off all power to your scooter.
4. Connect and disconnect battery cables with caution.
5. Make sure to allow enough time to fully charge batteries.
NOTE– Batteries should never be left for long periods in the discharged state.
Unused or stored batteries should be given a charge once per month.
6. Or, use the off-board charger by plugging it into the charger port on the
battery case (A).
