STORAgE AND MAINTENANCE 

Charge the PP-18400CI internal battery before first use and after every use thereafter. 

The internal battery will gradually self-discharge (lose power) over time, especially in 

warm environments. Leaving the battery in a discharged state may result in permanent 

battery damage. To ensure satisfactory performance and avoid permanent damage, 

charge the internal battery every 2 to 3 months. The PP-18400CI may be left permanently 

connected to the AC electrical wall outlet. Store in a cool dry place.
