To reduce the risk of shock and unintended operation, turn off power and remove the ION Power Pack battery before servicing.

RECYCLING THE LI-ION BATTERY

This product uses a Li-ion rechargeable and recyclable battery. When the battery no longer holds a charge, it should be removed from the vacuum and recycled. DO NOT incinerate or compost the battery. When your Lithium ION Power Pack Battery needs to be replaced, dispose of it or recycle it in accordance with local regulations. In some areas, it is illegal to place spent lithium-ion batteries in the bin or in a municipal solid waste stream. Return spent power packs to an authorised recycling center or to retailer for recycling. Contact your local recycling center for information on where to drop off the spent power pack.

NOTE: A complete charge takes approximately 3 hours. The Li-ion battery will naturally decrease in capacity over time from the 100% capacity of a new battery.
