4.4 Trickle Charging
The charger automatically switches to pulse trickle charge after the completed charging. The red
‘Charge [2]’ LED goes off and the green ‘Ready [3]’ LED lights up permanently for approx. 2 min. After

The inserted battery is defective and can no longer be charged if the green ‘Ready [3]’ LED blinks
immediately after the contacting of the battery and the red ’Charge [2]’ LED also blinks sporadically
