arise with the battery packs or the power source. Problems
are indicated by one LED flashing in different patterns.

hot or excessively cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold
Pack delay, suspending charging until the battery has
normalised. After this happens, the charger automatically
switches to the Pack Charging mode. This feature ensures
maximum battery life. The red LED flashes in the pattern
indicated on the label when the Hot/Cold pack delay is

to AC, the charger may temporarily suspend operation.
