Charging the battery The HPA40 ships with a rechargeable, internal battery that can power continuous audio playback for up to 8 hours. We recommend that you fully charge the battery before your first use. To charge the battery for the first time, follow this procedure: 1. Turn off the HPA40 by pressing the POWER switch. 2. Connect the unit to an AC power outlet. The CHARGE LED will light to indicate the battery is charging. 3. Keep the unit plugged in to AC power until the CHARGE LED indicates the battery has been fully charged. NOTE: The HPA40 uses a sealed lead-acid gel battery, and the battery will slowly self-discharge when the HPA40 is not in use. Before storing the HPA40 for an extended period, fully charge the battery before storage, and then charge again every 3 months. NOTE: The lead-acid battery needs to be recharged every 3 months for continued operation. Please replace the battery if the HPA40 operating time noticeably decreases, even after a full charge cycle.
