HOW TO CHARGE THE BATTERY PACK
WARNING:
Do not use the charger outdoors or expose it to wet or damp
conditions. Water entering the charger will increase the risk of electric shock.
NOTICE:
Lithium-Ion battery packs are shipped partially charged. Before using it the
first time, fully charge the battery pack.
1. Connect the charger to the power supply
(220-240V~ 50Hz).
2. Align the raised ribs of the battery pack with the
mounting slots in the charger; slide the battery
pack down onto the charger (Fig. 2).
3. The charger will communicate with the battery
pack to evaluate the condition of the battery pack.
4. When the battery pack is charging, the green LED
on the charger will flash. The power indicator
on the battery pack will flash in sequence: red, orange and green. The fan in the
charger continuously works to cool the battery pack.
5. When the battery pack is fully charged, the green LED will stop flashing and will
shine green continuously. The power indicator on the battery pack will go out.
Wait until the cooling fan stops, remove the battery pack from the charger and
disconnect the charger from the power supply.
6. The battery pack will fully charge if left on the charger, but it will not overcharge.
If the battery pack remains on the charger for one month or more, it will perform
self-maintenance and drop to 30% charge capacity. If this occurs, reinstall the
battery pack on the charger to recharge it fully.
