Battery Pack Operation

The equipment is powered by a lithium-ion battery. The battery 

pack is completely sealed and maintenance free.

Battery Charge Level Indicator

The battery pack is equipped with a push button for checking 

the charge level. Simply press the push button to read off the 

battery charge level from the LEDs of the battery indicator:

•  All 3 level monitoring LEDs are lit: Battery charge level 

 

is high.

•  2 level monitoring LEDs are lit: Battery charge level is 

decreasing. Stop work as soon as possible.

•  1 level monitoring LED is lit: Battery is flat. Stop work 

IMMEDIATELY and charge the battery. Otherwise the 

battery’s service life will be greatly shortened.

NOTE: If the charge level button does not appear to be 

working, place the battery pack on the charger and charge as 

needed.
NOTE: Immediately after using the battery pack, the charge 

level button may display a lower charge than it will if checked 

a few minutes later. The battery cells “recover” some of their 

charge after resting.
