To use this battery:

• The battery must be charged for minimum two hours. The user can use the wall receptacle adapter or the cigarette lighter charger in your car. This makes it particularly convenient for insurance investigators that have to travel to multiple locations and take pictures, interviews or film claim related situations.

Once charged, the user must identify the DC (Direct Current) voltage their devices uses. This is generally found on the label that each device has on the back. Here is an example of a digital camera label.

Next, the user must find the correct connector by trying to plug it in the device. We recommend plugging the connector in the device before it is plugged in the Battery.

The connector must be plugged in the cord correctly in order to assure the correct polarity. Most devices are designed to take the positive (+) in the middle and the negative (-) on the exterior of the plug. If unsure the can consult the user manual or look for symbols on the original AC adapter. They might look like this:

If the Positive is in the center prong, please align the "+" on the connector to the "TIP" inscription on the cord. This will bring the positive pole to the center. If the minus is needed in the center, please reverse the plug with the "-" inscription aligned to the "TIP". Some portable televisions are wired this way.

The last step is setting the correct voltage on the output of the universal battery. This is a simply done by setting the switch to the correct DC voltage determined above. You will need to use a sharp instrument for the switch movement.

Your battery is for use. Please remember that the Universal battery will act as an AC adapter to your device. If you have an internal drained battery, this will be charged by the Universal battery, shortening the run time. We recommend removing the drained internal battery. If that is not possible, we recommend using out the Universal Battery first, and then rely on the internal battery.

The battery is also designed with four LED's to act like a fuel gauge. When all four are lit, the battery is full.

Here is the capacity based on different voltages:

• 3V- 7.1AmpHour
• 4.5V- 5 AmpHour
• 5V- 3.5 AmpHour
• 6V- 3.1 AmpHour
• 7.5V- 2.3 AmpHour
• 9V- 1.8 AmpHour

For reference, an AA battery has about 1.8 AmpHour at 1.5V.  This can help calculating your expected run time.
