If the charger was factory-configured for off-board use, follow these operating instructions:
1.
With the charger DC output connector/plug disconnected from the battery connector/receptacle,
connect the charger AC power cord to an appropriate AC outlet (if not already connected).
2.
Connect the charger DC output connector/plug to the battery connector/receptacle. The charger will
start automatically, which is indicated by the Charge Status (yellow) LED beginning to blink slowly.
3.
If the charger must be disconnected from the battery while a charge cycle is in progress, first
disconnect the AC power cord from the AC outlet. Do not disconnect the charger DC output
connector/plug from the battery while a charge cycle is in progress.
4.
The charge cycle 80% point is indicated by the Charge Status (yellow) LED beginning to blink
quickly.
5.
The Finish charge cycle phase is indicated by the solid illumination of the Charge Status (yellow)
LED. Not all charge profiles include a Finish phase.
