What this package
contains:
1. Flashlight
2. Charging Cradle
3. Rechargeable Battery (NiMH)
4. 120 Volt Converter (US)
Your Battery’s First Charge Is Important!
Your battery was shipped from the factory with less than a full charge, and has naturally self-discharged
since then. To bring the battery back to its fullest charge, be sure to follow these steps, IN THIS EXACT
ORDER, when you charge it for the first time:
First Charge Procedure
1. Plug the two-prong plug of the supplied AC converter (1) into
the wall outlet.
2. Plug the AC converter’s other end (DC connector, 2A) into the
socket on the side of the charging cradle. The green LED (2B)
should turn on.
3. Make sure the temperature sensor window (3) is clear and
unobstructed.
4. Insert the ML125™ 6.0V 2.5Ah NiMH battery into the cradle,
making sure the “+” end of the battery is inserted into the “+”
end of the cradle. (Note: Be sure the cradle is plugged in
FIRST; then insert the battery.)
5. When the battery is correctly inserted (5), the green LED (2B)
should turn red, indicating that the battery is quick-charging.
6. When the battery is approaching full charge, the red LED will
turn back to green. Nevertheless, let the battery charge A
FULL 24 HOURS the first time you charge it, even if it turns
green long before 24 hours have elapsed.
Subsequent Charges Are
Much Quicker
After your battery has been correctly charged for the first time,
you can recharge it much more quickly. Follow Steps 1-5 above.
A fully depleted battery should fully recharge in about 2 hours.
When the LED goes from red to green, the battery is ready to use.
