The lithium-ion battery in your kit will likely be partially charged when you receive it. However, you should fully charge the
battery prior to operating the PAGM.

220 VAC 50/60 HZ AC power socket.

2 Plug the power connector from the charger into the

INPUT socket on the battery.

3 The LED on the right will light up red. The remaining

three LEDs will light up green and indicate the charge
level of the battery. One green LED indicates 30-60%
battery charge, two green LEDs indicate 60-90%
battery charge, and all three green LEDs indicate a full
charge.
