Connector Location
• This connector is the global system power supply.
• When plugged, the external power supply is used to :
• Power the system
• Charge batteries if they are not completely charged
• Even if the system is off, the battery will be charged by the
external power supply.
• Only use the external power supply supplied by EDDYFI with the
GEKKO.
• When plugging the external power supply, and if there are no
batteries, GEKKO automatically boots up.

Battery Charger Information
2 possibilities to load batteries :
- Use the GEKKO built in recharge system.
- Use an external dual charger :
Supplier: EDDYFI
Reference: CHARG-2BATT-CH5050A
7. BATTERY SLOT
WHEN PLUGGED, THE WALL ADAPTOR :
• Provide power for batteries charge (system power off) :
- If only one battery is plugged, it is charged in 3 hours (if
completely low).
- If two batteries with a different charge level are plugged,
the internal charger charges the lower battery at first.
When the two batteries have the same charge level, they
are charged at the same time. It takes 6 hours to
completely charge 2 flat batteries.
WITHOUT WALL ADAPTOR, BATTERIES POWER THE
GEKKO :
• Gekko can work with one battery only.
• If batteries have different charge levels, the Gekko drains
more power from the most charged battery until the levels
are equal. Then GEKKO drains power equally from the 2
batteries.
IF YOU CHOOSE TO USE AN EXTERNAL CHARGER, THE
CHARGE TIME IS SHORTER : 4 hours for two batteries instead
of 6 hours if you use built in charger system.
To AVOID AUTOMATIC BOOT of the GEKKO while inserting the batteries (without plugging any external power supply), or while
plugging the external power supply (without any batteries inserted), press Battery Status Button

Without any batteries
8. AUTOMATIC BOOT
WHEN no batteries are in the GEKKO:
• Plugging the external power supply or supplying the external
power supply with 110/240 VAC automatically boots the unit
• This feature can be used to AUTOMATICALLY and
REMOTELY boot the unit up.
To AVOID AUTOMATIC BOOT of the GEKKO while inserting
the batteries (without plugging any external power supply), or
while plugging the external power supply (without any batteries
inserted).
Press Battery Status Button

WHEN external power is off or unplugged:
• Inserting a battery in the system automatically boots the unit

BATTERY STATUS
• Push the « BATTERY » button to check the battery level :
• GREEN for 5 seconds - Charged above 30%
• ORANGE for 5 seconds - Charged between 10 to 30%
• RED for 5 seconds - Charged bellow 10%
• BLINKING - Charging
You can check the battery level even if the system is off.
ON/OFF
Push this button to power ON the system.
Press on ON/OFF button briefly to shut down properly the GEKKO.
Only in case the system is frozen, you can push the ON/OFF button for 4
seconds to force the power down.
