defective battery pack.

J

  No LED on = Defective charger or battery pack.

CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK

Battery packs for this product have been shipped in a low 
charge condition to prevent possible problems. Therefore, 
you should charge it until the green LED on the front of the 
charger comes on.

OPERATION

NOTE: Batteries will not reach full charge the fi rst time they 
are charged. Allow several cycles (operation followed by 
recharging) for them to become fully charged.

CHARGING A COOL BATTERY PACK

If battery pack is within normal temperature range, the red 
LED on charger will come on.

NOTE: If the charger does not charge the battery pack
under normal circumstances, return both the battery pack 
and charger to your nearest Authorised Service Centre for
electrical check.

J

  Charge the battery pack only with the charger  provided.

J

  Make sure the power supply is normal household 

voltage, 240 volts, 50 Hz, AC only.

J

  Connect the charger to the power supply.

J

  Place the battery pack in the charger aligning raised 

rib on the battery pack with the groove in the  charger.
See Figure 2.

J

  Press down on the battery pack to be sure contacts on 

the battery pack engage properly with contacts in the 
charger.

J

  Normally the red LED on charger will come on. This

indicates the charger is in fast charging mode.

J

  Red LED should remain on for approximately 1 hour 

then the green LED will come on. Green LED on
indicates battery pack is fully charged and charger is
in maintenance charge mode. 

 

NOTE:  The green LED will remain on until the
battery pack is removed from the charger or charger is
disconnected from the power supply.

J

  If both yellow and green LEDs come on, this indicates 

a deeply discharged or defective battery pack.
Allow the battery pack to remain in the charger for 15 
to 30 minutes. When the battery pack reaches normal
voltage range, the red LED should come on. If the 
red LED does not come on after 30 minutes, this may
indicate a defective battery pack that should be
replaced.

J

  After normal usage, a minimum of 1 hour of charging time 

is required to fully recharge battery pack. 

J

  The battery pack will become slightly warm to the 

touch while charging. This is normal and does not
