1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet
before inserting the battery pack.
2. Insert the battery pack (I) into the charger, as
shown in Figure 1, making sure the pack is fully
seated in charger. The red (charging) light will
blink continuously, indicating that the charging
process has started.
3. The completion of charge will be indicated by
the red light remaining ON continuously. The
pack is fully charged and may be used at this
time or left in the charger.

Charge Indicators
This charger is designed to detect certain problems that can arise. Problems are indicated
by the red light flashing at a fast rate. If this occurs, re-insert the battery pack into the
charger. If the problem persists, try a different battery pack to determine if the charger
is working properly. If the new pack charges correctly, then the original pack is defective
and should be returned to a service center or other collection site for recycling. If the new
battery pack elicits the same trouble indication as the original, have the charger and the
battery pack tested at an authorized service center.
HOT/COLD DELAY
This charger has a hot/cold delay feature: when the charger detects a battery that is
hot, it automatically starts a delay, suspending charging until the battery has cooled.
After the battery has cooled, the charger automatically switches to the pack charging
mode. This feature ensures maximum battery life. The red light flashes long, then
short while in the hot/cold delay mode.
LEAVING THE BATTERY PACK IN THE CHARGER
The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the charge indicator showing
Pack Charged.
WEAK BATTERY PACKS: Weak batteries will continue to function but should not be
expected to perform as much work.
FAULTY BATTERY PACKS: This charger will not charge a faulty battery pack. The
charger will indicate faulty battery pack by refusing to light or by displaying problem pack
or charger.
NOTE: This could also mean a problem with a charger.
Important Charging Notes
1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery pack is charged
when the air temperature is between 18° – 24°C (65°F and 75°F). DO NOT charge
the battery pack in an air temperature below +4°C (+40°F), or above +40°C
(+105°F). This is important and will prevent serious damage to the battery pack.
2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to the touch while charging.
This is a normal condition, and does not indicate a problem. To facilitate the
cooling of the battery pack after use, avoid placing the charger or battery pack in
a warm environment such as in a metal shed or an uninsulated trailer.
3. A cold battery pack will charge at about half the rate of a warm battery pack. The
battery pack will charge at that slower rate throughout the entire charging cycle
and will not return to maximum charge rate even if the battery pack warms.
4. If the battery pack does not charge properly:
a. Check operation of receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other appliance;
b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch which turns power off
when you turn out the lights;
