4.0 Rechargeable Battery Care and Maintenance  

 

The rechargeable battery in your tool will last longer when maintained properly. When the charge on the battery is  

getting low, a battery symbol will be visible on the display (Fig.13C). When you see this icon, charge the battery at the next 
opportunity. Fig.12 shows where to attach the USB Micro B side of the cable into the tool. The USB cable is keyed to plug in 
only one way, check the orientation of the cable end and the USB port before plugging in the cable. The tool may be used 
while it is plugged in. See Fig.13A-E for information about the changes to the battery icon and what they mean. 

 

If you wait to long to recharge the battery, the tool will automatically shut down completely to conserve the remaining 

charge on the battery. The battery must have a minimum charge to be recharged. If the tool will not turn on with the on/off 
button, then you must charge the tool. When the tool is plugged in after being completely shutdown, the tool will go 

through an initialization startup phase, See “Startup Sequence”, Pg. 

14.

 We recommend that the tool only be charged 

when the battery icon is visible to help prolong battery life. Depending on use, the time between charges could be weekly 
under heavy use or monthly under light use.    

 

The USB Micro B side of the 
charging cable plugs into 
the USB port at the top of 
the Indicator as shown.  
The other side of the USB 
cable plugs into the power 
supply.
