The internal battery should be charged after each use. You first shoulddischarge the battery through continuous operation until the unit shutsdown. This will increase the amount of stored charge in the battery.Charging the battery without discharging it will decrease the amount ofpower the batter will supply.WarningDo not store the Host Unit in a discharged state. Even if theunit is off, it will continue to consume a small amount ofpower for sensing the push buttons. The battery will alsocontinue to self-discharge. If the internal battery is allowed todischarge below 4VDC, it will be damaged and the batterywill no longer hold a charge. Then the internal battery willneed to be replaced by Panex authorized personnel. TheHost Unit should be discharged and recharged once every 6months to avoid damaging the internal battery.Maximum Line SpeedThe recommended maximum line speed when operating the Model 120D is1,000 feet per minute with no electronic gauge attached to the line.Exceeding the maximum line speed recommendation decreases the lifespan of the Model 120DRU Remote Unit and can damage it.Panex Corporation2-9
