Charging (Fig. 2)
Your new battery cartridge is not charged. You will need to charge it before use. Use the battery charger to charge the
battery cartridge.
Plug the battery charger into the proper A/C voltage source. The charging light will flash in green color. Insert the bat-
tery cartridge so that the plus and minus terminals on the battery cartridge are on the same sides as their respective
markings on the battery charger. Insert the cartridge fully into the port so that it rests on the charger port floor. When
the battery cartridge is inserted, the charging light color will change from green to red and charging will begin. The
charging light will remain lit steadily during charging. When the charging light color changes from red to green, the
charging cycle is complete.
If you leave the battery cartridge in the charger after the charging cycle is complete, the charger will switch into its
"trickle charge (maintenance charge)" mode. After charging, unplug the charger from the power source. Refer to the
table below for the charging time.
