NOTE:
If the instrument is not turned OFF, the charger connection will turn OFF the instrument
without warning.
•
The charger is capable of charging a completely depleted pack in less than six hours
in normal, room-temperature environments.
Allow very cold battery packs to stabilize for one hour at room temperature before
attempting to charge.
•
Minimum and maximum ambient temperature to charge the instrument:
10 °C (50 °F) to 35 °C (95 °F). Charging outside of this range may not be successful.
•
For best results, charge the instrument at room temperature (23 °C)
3.3.1 To Charge the Instrument
•
Snap the charger onto the instrument.
•
Do not restrict or block the ventilation openings on either side of the charger.
•
Charge status is indicated by the LED on the charger.
•
Red: Charging in process
•
Green: Charging complete
•
Yellow: Failure Mode.
•
If the red LED does not light and remain ON when the charger is attached, it is
possible:
•
an incomplete electrical connection exists between the charger and the Lithium
Ion battery pack contact points or
•
the temperature of the battery pack is outside of the previously indicated range.
•
During recharge, the red LED turning OFF and green LED not lighting is an indication
of an improper charging process. This is most likely caused by a battery pack
temperature being outside of the previously-indicated range.
•
Restart the charging process with the battery pack in a different temperature
environment.
•
Failure mode, indicated by the yellow LED, will occur if either:
•
the battery pack has been deeply depleted beyond the point where it will accept
a charge
•
an internal charger fault has been detected, which would result in an erroneous
charging condition.
•
Charger may be left on the instrument when charge is complete.
