CHARGING A BATTERY
See Figures 10 - 11, pages 16 - 17.
Battery packs are shipped in a low charge condition to
prevent possible problems. Therefore, you should charge
them before first use. If the radio/charger does not charge
your battery pack under normal circumstances, return both
the battery pack and radio/charger to your nearest repair
center for electrical check.
Charge time is approximately 1 hour for 2.0 Ah battery packs,
and is dependent upon the type of battery pack.

 Make sure the power supply is normal household voltage,
120 volts, AC only, 60 Hz.
 Connect the radio/charger to a power supply.
NOTE: If the power supply is not connected, an installed
battery will discharge rather than charge.
 Attach the battery pack to the radio/charger as previously
described.
 Do not place the radio/charger in an area of extreme heat
or cold. It will work best at normal room temperature.
 The battery pack may become slightly warm to the touch
while charging. This is normal and does not indicate a
®
problem.
 After charging is complete, the green LED will flash on/
off continuously while the radio/charger is in Maintenance
Mode.
 After completing Maintenance Mode, the green LED will
remain on. This indicates the battery is fully charged and
the radio/charger is in Energy Save Mode.
 Radio/charger will periodically wake from Energy Save
Mode to ensure the battery pack remains in a fully
charged state.
 When the battery pack is fully charged, remove it from
the radio/charger.
CHARGING A HOT BATTERY PACK
When using a tool continuously, the battery pack may
become hot. A hot battery pack may be placed directly into
the charger port but charging will not begin until the battery
temperature cools to within acceptable temperature range.
When a hot battery pack is placed in the radio/charger,
the red LED will begin flashing and the green LED will be
off. When the battery pack cools, the radio/charger will
automatically begin charging.
CHARGING A COLD BATTERY PACK
A cold battery pack may be placed directly into the charger
port but charging will not begin until the battery temperature
warms to within acceptable temperature range. When a cold
battery pack is placed in the radio/charger, the red LED
will begin flashing and the green LED will be off. When the
battery pack warms, the radio/charger will automatically
begin charging.
