CHARGING YOUR BATTERY

Your PD900has a built-in Lithium Polymer battery which provides long lasting power for when you
are on the go.

The battery compartment on the bottom side of your unit is screwed to prevent accidental
removal of the battery. Should you need the battery replaced, just unscrew the compartment
using a small Philips screwdriver. This should be done by a certifi ed technician to avoid any
damage to your unit.

The PD900 is charged when the supplied power supply is connected. You can still use your PD900
while it is being charged, though full charge will be achieved at a longer time as for safety
reasons, the unit is charged via a low current (approx. 0.4 A). If the PD900 is switched off while
charging however, the higher current (approx. 1.2 A) will provide a quicker charge.

Charge LED Indications

The LEDs on the front of the unit indicate the current charge condition.
RED: High current charge
ORANGE: Low current charge
GREEN: Battery is full
