2. The battery with this clipper must go through a "charge and use" cycle of 3 to 5 times before it
reaches full charge capacity. The first few times you use and recharge your battery you will not receive
peak battery performance. It will take 3 to 5 "charge and use" cycles for the battery to reach its peak
charge.
3. The charger base is designed to recharge battery packs that are at, or close to, room temperature
(25°C/77°F). If a battery pack is returned to the charger unusually hot or cold, the charger will not
enter fast charge mode. This is normal and the battery pack can remain in the charger. Under certain
conditions the charger may not fully charge a battery pack that has cooled from an unusually hot
temperature. Remove the battery pack for a few seconds, and return to the charger. The charger will
then enter a second fast charge mode.
4. Optimum charging results will be obtained if the charging unit is operated in a place where the
temperature is stable. Sudden increases in temperature may result in the battery pack receiving less
than a full charge. Avoid locating the charger near heat vents, radiators, or in direct sunlight.
5. Under normal room temperature conditions, there is no need to allow the charger base to cool
between charging battery packs. Completely discharged battery packs may be returned to the charger
base continuously for fast charge. If the room temperature is very warm, however, allowing the charger
to cool 5 minutes between battery packs is advisable. If the charger has become too hot internally, fast
charge will be discontinued. Remove the battery pack and replace after a 5 minute cooling period; the
charger will reset automatically.
6. It is normal for the charger to become warm to the touch during operation.
7. Disconnect the charger from the AC outlet if long periods of non-use are anticipated.
8. Never store batteries in a discharged condition. Recharge them immediately after they are discharged.
9. Many factors influence the life of the battery pack. A battery pack that has received heavy use
and is over a year old may not give the same run-time performance as a new battery pack.
USE OF THE REFRESH FEATURE
The Refresh feature works overnight by first discharging the battery pack, and then quickly charging it.
A trickle charge maintains the battery at 100% for use the next day. This allows a battery pack that has
developed a "memory" to perform like new.
A battery pack that receives monthly Refresh cycles will last much longer than one that does not.
Andis suggests that the Refresh feature be used once per month at the end of a business day. Using the
Refresh feature overnight will ensure that your work will not be interrupted while "Refresh" operates.
1. The charger base needs to be plugged in for the Refresh feature to work.
2. With the AGR+ clipper or AGR+ battery pack in the charger base, press the Refresh button (Figure D)
once. The green light will blink while the battery is discharging.
3. The green light will stop blinking, and remain continuous when the battery pack is charging once
again.
4. If the Refresh button has been accidentally pressed, there are two ways to stop the battery pack from
being discharged. Removing the clipper from the charger, then returning it, will cancel the Refresh
operation and resume fast charge. You may also unplug the charger base for several seconds to reset
the charger.
5. NOTE: The refresh cycle takes approximately 8 hours to produce a fully charged battery pack. The
charge must make accurate battery voltage measurements during this time. If the charger does not
exit the refresh cycle or does not produce a fully charged battery, see "Guidelines for Battery Pack and
Charger Use".
USER MAINTENANCE
Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children
without supervision.
The internal mechanism of your motor clipper has been permanently lubricated by the factory. Other
than the recommended maintenance described in this manual, no other maintenance should be
performed, except by Andis Company, or an Andis Authorized Service Station.
If the supply cord is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly
qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
