This cordless sweeper is powered by Ni-Cd batteries. Before first use, they must
be charged for a minimum 20 hours.
3. When recharging the unit, the "On/Off" switch must be in the "OFF" position.
4. The charging light indicator on the top of the sweeper will illuminate to indicate
that the sweeper is properly charging.
5. To recharge, repeat step #1 above. Charging times will vary depending upon the
amount of usage between charging cycles.
Note: If, when you place the sweeper to recharge and the charging indicator light does
NOT illuminate, then press the On/Off button once to turn the sweeper off. The
charging indicator light should now light up.
Note: Peak performance may only be realized after the unit has been charged and
discharged two (2) or three (3) times.

recommended that the unit be fully discharged, then completely re-charged at least
once a month.
