• Disconnect the charger from the outlet before attempting any
cleaning. This will reduce the risk of electric shock. Removing
the battery pack will not reduce this risk.
• NEVER attempt to connect 2 chargers together.
• The charger is designed to operate on standard household
electrical power (120 Volts). Do not attempt to use it on any
other voltage. This does not apply to the vehicular charger.

Indicator Light Operation
Charge Indicators
Some chargers are designed to detect certain problems that can arise
with battery packs. Problems are indicated by the red light flashing at
a fast rate. If this occurs, re-insert battery pack into the charger. If the
problem persists, try a different battery pack to determine if the charg-
er is OK. If the new pack charges correctly, then the original pack is
defective and should be returned to a service center or other collec-
tion site for recycling. If the new battery pack elicits the same trouble
indication as the original, have the charger tested at an authorized ser-
vice center.
HOT/COLD PACK DELAY
Some chargers have a Hot/Cold Pack Delay feature: when the charg-
er detects a battery that is hot, it automatically starts a Hot Pack Delay,
suspending charging until the battery has cooled. After the battery has
cooled, the charger automatically switches to the Pack Charging
mode. This feature ensures maximum battery life. The red light flash-
es long, then short while in the Hot Pack Delay mode.
PROBLEM POWER LINE
Some chargers have a Problem Power Line indicator. When the
charger is used with some portable power sources such as generators
or sources that convert DC to AC, the charger may temporarily sus-
pend operation, flashing the red light with two fast blinks followed
1 HOUR
by a pause. This indicates the power source is out of limits.
