AC OPERATION & BATTERY CHARGING
The Acclaim include an automatic charging system designed to properly charge and maintain the system's
built-in Lithium Ion battery. To charge batteries, plug the system into an AC outlet and operate as normal
while built-in batteries are charging. While unit is on, the battery fuel gauge will indicate the battery level. The
BATTERY INDICATOR LED will show solid red light when charging and will show green light when charging is
complete. Charge system overnight to replenish drained batteries.
BATTERY MAINTENANCE & STORAGE
In order to ensure a long battery life, we encourage the following best practices for Lithium Ion battery
maintenance and storage. Do not block any ventilation openings. When your lectern is not in use, it should
be stored in a cool dry place. Do not expose your lectern to excessive heat, flames, or fire. Unplug the lectern
during lightning storms. If storing lectern for an extended period of time, leave speaker unplugged.
BATTERY SAFETY
Refer all servicing to qualified personnel. Do not attempt to remove the rechargeable Lithium Ion battery from this
product. The battery used in this device may present a risk of fire or chemical burn if mistreated. Please recycle or
dispose of your speaker and/or battery properly based on the laws and rules of your municipality. Do not incinerate.
