minimum level, the unit will emit two beep tones and automatically

a “beep” sound for every 10 seconds in standby mode.
TIP: At this stage, you need to recharge the unit at
once, otherwise the battery will run down totally.
Battery charge at very low level. When the battery level
reaches its minimum level, the unit will emit two beep tones
and automatically turn off the power.
