APPLICATIONS
You may use this product for the following purpose:
Charging RYOBI 40 Volt lithium-ion batteries
NOTICE:
Charge in a well-ventilated area. Do not block charger
vents. Keep them clear to allow proper ventilation.
CHARGING
See Figure 1, page 7.
Battery packs are shipped in a low charge condition to
prevent possible problems. Therefore, you should charge
them before first use. If the charger does not charge your
battery pack under normal circumstances, return both the
battery pack and charger to your nearest repair center for
electrical check.
Charge time varies and is dependent upon the amp hour
capacity of battery pack.
Make sure the power supply is normal household voltage,
120 volts, AC only, 60 Hz.
Connect the charger to a power supply. The red LED will
illuminate.
NOTE:
If no battery is inserted within 5 minutes, the
charger will automatically enter into an energy saving
mode and the red LED will go off. Charger operation will
resume once a battery is inserted.
Attach the battery pack to the charger by aligning the
raised ribs on the battery pack with the grooves in the
charger, then slide the battery pack onto the charger.
Press down on the battery pack to be sure contacts on
the battery pack engage properly with contacts in the
charger.
Latches should snap into place to ensure charger is
correctly connected.
Do not place the charger in an area of extreme heat or
cold. It will work best at normal room temperature.
The battery pack will become slightly warm to the
touch while charging. This is normal and does not
indicate a problem.
After charging is complete, the charger LED will stop
flashing and remain green.
NOTE: After 10 minutes of inactivity the charger will
automatically enter into an energy saving mode and the
green LED will go off.
To remove the battery pack from the charger, depress
latches and pull up on the battery pack.
The fan may make a slight humming noise when the
battery is charging.
