Ensure that the charging bay (2) and the battery contacts are free of coarse dirt. Ensure
that the battery is fully inserted!
The charging process begins as soon as the mains plug for the charger is inserted into the
mains socket and the battery is inserted into the charging bay.
The charging process is only possible when the temperature of the battery is within the
permitted charging temperature range (0–45 °C)!
Thanks to the intelligent charging process, the state of charge of the battery is automatically de-
tected and then charged up with the optimal charge current depending on battery temperature
and voltage.
In this way, the battery is treated with care and remains permanently fully charged when it is
stored in the battery charger.
A significantly reduced operating time after charging indicates that the battery has deteriorated
and must be replaced.
When the charger is used continuously, or for several consecutive charge cycles without inter-
ruption, the charger may heat up. This is, however, harmless and does not indicate that the
charger has a technical defect.
Charging times:
The following table displays the approximate time required in minutes in order to fully charge the
battery, depending on the battery type. The charging time depends on the battery type and the
temperature.

3.3 What the display elements mean
Flashing light battery charge indicator (4):
The rapid-charging procedure is indicated by the quick flashing of the green battery charge indi-
cator.
The battery can be removed at any time and used.
Once approx. 80% of the battery capacity has been reached, the flashing of the green battery
charge indicator will slow down. The rapid-charging process is now completed. If the battery re-
mains in the charger, the charging process will be performed at a slower pace.
Continuous light green battery charge indicator (4):
The continuous light of the green battery charge indicator signals that the battery is fully
charged. The battery can then be removed for immediate use.
