IMPORTANT: DO NOT DISPOSE OF THE BATTERY IN THE GARBAGE. For proper disposal of the lead-acid battery, it should be taken to a lead-acid battery recycle and disposal center, such as an automobile service center, to avoid environmental contamination. [. . . ] Avoid spilling liquids on the operating surfaces, grill, volume and tone controls, switches and speaker. ALWAYS make sure your Amp Can is OFF before cleaning or approaching it with fluids. 6 3 AMP CAN CONTROL PANEL AMP CAN BATTERY CARE AND MAINTENANCE B C D E A F K G Your Amp Can is powered by a 12 volt, 4. 5 amp-hour, sealed lead-acid battery. It is very powerful and has much more in common with a car battery than it does a flashlight battery. With proper care and maintenance and under normal operating conditions, the battery could last 3 to 5 years and provide your Amp Can with power for 4 to 6 hours per charge cycle. Like a car battery, non-use and improper storage of your Amp Can will significantly lessen the battery's ability to hold a charge. Thus, your Amp Can should be stored indoors at room temperature and played as often as you would like. (Frequent use of your Amp Can is actually good for the battery!) It is best to recharge your Amp Can after each use. If your amp is stored for an extended period of time, the battery should be recharged every 6 months otherwise permanent loss of capacity may occur. Upon removing your Amp Can from its packaging, the Amp Can's battery should be allowed to charge overnight (approximately 16 hours) to ensure maximum battery life. When your Amp Can is turned on, the power LED glows green indicating the battery is charged. As the amp is played and its battery power utilized, the power LED will in time begin to momentarily flash red indicating the battery will soon lose its charge. Once the power LED stays red, the battery should be recharged immediately. Recharging the battery takes approximately 12 to 16 hours. It is important to remember that the longer your Amp Can is played after the LED turns red, the longer it will take to recharge the battery. If your Amp Can is played until it stops operating, it may take 72 hours or more to completely recharge. Moreover, allowing the battery to deeply discharge will significantly lessen the battery's life span. To recharge the battery, simply connect the "wall-mount" adapter to the charger input on your Amp Can (item K page 4), then plug it into a wall outlet.
