3. During charging, the charging lamp
will be lit.
When charging is completed, an
internal electronic switch will au-
tomatically be triggered to prevent
overcharging.
Charging will not start if the battery
pack is warm (for example, immedi-
ately after heavy-duty operation).
The orange standby lamp will be
lit until the battery cools down.
Charging will then begin automati-
cally.
4. When charging is completed, the
charging lamp will start flashing rapidly.
5. When in any of the conditions that
battery pack is too cool, or the bat-
tery pack has not been used for a
long time, the charging lamp starts
flashing slowly to indicate protective
charging. Protective charging takes
longer to fully charge the battery
pack, than the standard charging
time. (Max. charging time is ap-
prox. 90 minutes).
If a fully charged battery pack is
inserted into the charger again,
the charging lamp may light up
and then flash slowly. After sev-
eral minutes, the charging lamp
may flash quickly to indicate the
charging is completed.
6. If the charging lamp does not light
immediately after the charger is
plugged in, or if after the standard
charging time the lamp does not go
off, consult an authorized dealer.
Note:
When charging a cool battery
pack (below 15°C (41°F) in a
warm place, leave the battery
pack at the place and wait for
more than one hour to warm
up the battery to the level of
the ambient temperature.
(Battery pack may not be fully
charged.)
Cool down the charger when
charging more than two bat-
tery packs consecutively.
Do not insert your fingers into
contact hole, when holding
charger or any other occa-
sions.
CAUTION:
Do not use power source
from an engine generator.
Do not cover vent holes
on the charger and the
battery pack.
