Charging & Using Batteries
Important Points When Using Battery Power
The Pebble should ONLY be used with
•
rechargeable batteries.
Rechargeable batteries should be rated at
•
2400mAh or greater.
Rechargeable batteries should be fully charged
•
prior to first use.
Using new batteries, your Pebble should last over
•
1.5 hours when fully charged. The total usage time
will gradually reduce with subsequent charges.
It is not recommended to use standard “AA”
•
batteries (or alkaline) inside the Pebble. Standard
batteries are not capable of being recharged
inside the Pebble charging system and may pose
certain safety risks.
Using Rechargeable Batteries
Your Pebble includes two, rechargeable Nickel-
Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries that can be
continuously charged inside the Pebble, even
while the unit is in operation
(see page 10).
It is
recommended to leave the unit connected with the
included AC adaptor when the unit is not in use to
maintain a continuous charge on the batteries. This
way, your Pebble will always be ready for portable
use. It is not possible to overcharge the included
Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries. Please refer
to the instructions on the next few pages for more
information on replacing and charging the batteries.
