from the unit after the charging
period has completed. Storing
the unit with the adapter
attached and plugged in will
reduce the battery life.

adaptors look similar, it’s
important to use only the
adaptor that came with the unit
(XA2940).
NOTE: If you notice a decrease in
run time over time, recondition
the batteries by running the
sweeper until the sound drops
significantly, then turn off the
unit and charge for 20 hours.
