Battery Time Management
Time away from home is almost limitless by combining the
use of the AC power supply, DC power supply and the XPO
2
batteries. To ensure the batteries maintain their optimal
charge level, utilize the AC power supply whenever you have
access to electric power. Utilize the DC power supply
whenever you are in a vehicle.

Battery Life
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 6.6.
Do’s
• When you first receive your XPO
2
, fully charge the
internal battery (and supplemental external battery if
provided) overnight.
• Keep your batteries fully charged when using the XPO
2
regularly.
• Your XPO
2
and supplemental external battery can be
recharged at any time. These batteries can have their
charge “topped off” at any time.
• Always ensure the XPO
2
internal and supplemental
external batteries are recharged as soon as possible after
they become fully discharged. The batteries may be
permanently degraded if left fully discharged for an
extended length of time.
• Check the status of your XPO
2
internal and supplemental
external battery once a month if you are not using your
XPO
2
regularly. Both batteries should be maintained at 2
illuminated bars worth of charge.
• Heat is the worst enemy of a battery. Allow plenty of air
to circulate around the XPO
2
so that the battery is kept as
cool as possible when charging and also when in use.
