Note: Batteries will not reach full charge the first time they
are charged. Allow several cycles (drilling followed by re-
charging batteries) for them to fully charge.

Charge the battery pack for your drill-driver only with
the radio charger provided.
■

■
Push in on battery pack to be sure contacts on battery
pack engage properly with contacts in charger. When
properly connected, red light on charger will turn on and
remain on until disconnected from power supply.
■
After normal usage, 3 hours or less of charging time is
required to fully recharge battery pack.
Note: If battery
pack is completely discharged, 6 hours or longer of
charging time is required to fully recharge battery pack.
■
The battery pack will become slightly warm to the touch
while charging. This is normal and does not indicate a
problem.
■
DO NOT place radio charger in an area of extreme
heat or cold. It will work best at normal room tempera-
ture.
■
When battery pack has been charged, disconnect
adapter from power supply and remove the battery
pack. This practice will increase battery life.
