Battery Charging Instruction

SMOOTH-Q3 is equipped with built-in battery. When using SMOOTH-Q3 for the first time, please fully charge the batteries to activate them and to ensure the proper function of the stabilizer. Charging method: Use provided Type-C cable to connect the power adapter (not included in the package, 5V2A rated power adapter recommended) to the charging port on the stabilizer. The indicator lights will flash in green when charging. The four indicator lights on the stabilizer stay solid in green when charging is completed.
