OPERATION
CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
• Battery packs are shipped in a low charge condition. Therefore,
you should charge them before first use. If the charger does not
charge the battery pack under normal circumstances, bring both
the battery pack and charger to an authorised service centre.
• Make sure that the power supply is normal household voltage,
220–240V, 50Hz, AC only.
• Make sure that the battery pack latch clicks into place and that
the battery pack is secured in the charger before charging.
NOTE : When two battery packs are connected to the charger,
they are charged at the same time. The charging current is equally
distributed to the charging ports.
NOTE : When the battery becomes fully charged, the green LED
remains on. It is normal for the battery pack to become slightly
warm to touch while charging.
• Do not place the charger and battery pack in an area of extreme
heat or cold. They work best at normal room temperature.
NOTE : When charging, the charger and battery pack should be
placed in a location where the temperature is more than 5°C but
less than 40°C.
CHARGING A COOL BATTERY PACK
1. Insert the battery pack into the charging port. Make sure that the
battery pack latch clicks into place.
2. Connect the product to a power supply.
3. Disconnect the product from the power supply when the battery
pack becomes fully charged.
4. Press the battery pack latches to unlock the battery pack from
the product.
5. Remove the battery pack from the product.
CHARGING A HOT BATTERY PACK
