How do I Charge My Pathfinder?

WARNING!: Always use the battery charger that came with the Pathfinder! Any other charger may damage your batteries.

Plug the small end of your battery charger cable into the small connector with the picture of a battery beneath it on the left side of the Pathfinder case.  Make sure the other end of the charger is plugged into a working wall socket or power strip.

This is a picture showing you where to plug your charger into the Pathfinder.

When you hear the Low Battery warning, always plug in the battery charger!

NOTE: When the Pathfinder is in use during charging, it will take 8-10 hours to fully charge a dead battery. When the Pathfinder is not in use during charging, it will take 4-5 hours to fully charge a dead battery. A fully charged battery should last for 8-10 hours of normal use.

NOTE: If the battery charger is plugged in and the battery LED on the left front of the case is solid red:  This indicates that the battery pack is not communicating with the Pathfinder. Allow one hour of charging. If the battery charger LED continues to remain red after an hour of charging, call the PRC Service Department.

NOTE: If the batteries in your Pathfinder need to be replaced, dispose of the old batteries properly. Follow the regulations of your community, state or country for the disposal of batteries.
