Do not place any object on top of charger or place the charger on a soft
surface that might block the ventilation slots and result in excessive internal
heat.
Place the charger in a position away from any heat source. The charger is
ventilated through slots in the top and the bottom of the housing.
•

— have them replaced
immediately.
•
Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or
otherwise damaged in any way.

Using Automatic Tune-Up™ Mode
The automatic Tune-Up™ Mode equalizes or balances the individual cells in the
battery pack allowing it to function at peak capacity. Battery packs should be tuned up
weekly or after 10 charge/discharge cycles or whenever the pack no longer delivers
the same amount of work. To use the automatic Tune-Up™, place the battery pack
in the charger and leave it for at least 8 hours. The charger will cycle through the
following modes.
1. The red light will blink continuously indicating that the 1-hour charge cycle has
started.
2. When the 1-hour charge cycle is complete, the light will stay on continuously and
will no longer blink. This indicates that the pack is fully charged and can be used
at this time.
3. If the pack is left in the charger after the initial 1-hour charge, the charger will
begin the Automatic Tune-Up mode. This mode continues up to 8 hours or until
the individual cells in the battery pack are equalized. The battery pack is ready for
use and can be removed at any time during the Tune-Up mode.
4. Once the Automatic Tune Up mode is complete, the charger will begin a
maintenance charge; the red indicator will remain lit.
