APPLICATIONS
You may use this product for the following purpose:
Charging
RYOBI 40 Volt lithium-ion batteries
CAUTION:
If at any point during the charging process none of the
LEDs are lit, remove the battery pack from the charger
to avoid damaging the product. DO NOT insert another
battery. Return the charger and battery to your nearest
service center for service or replacement.
NOTICE:
Charge in a well-ventilated area. Do not block charger
vents. Keep them clear to allow proper ventilation.
CHARGING
See Figure 1, page 7.
Battery packs are shipped in a low charge condition to
prevent possible problems. Therefore, you should charge
them before first use. If the charger does not charge your
battery pack under normal circumstances, return both the
battery pack and charger to your nearest repair center for
electrical check.
Charge time varies and is dependent upon the amp hour
capacity of battery pack.
Make sure the power supply is normal household voltage,
120 volts, AC only, 60 Hz.
Connect the charger to a power supply.
Attach the battery pack to the charger by aligning the
raised ribs on the battery pack with the grooves in the
charger, then slide the battery pack onto the charger.
Press down on the battery pack to be sure contacts on
the battery pack engage properly with contacts in the
charger.
Latches should snap into place to ensure charger is
correctly connected.
Do not place the charger in an area of extreme heat or
cold. It will work best at normal room temperature.
The battery pack will become slightly warm to the
touch while charging. This is normal and does not
indicate a problem.
After charging is complete, the charger LED will stop
flashing and remain green.
To remove the battery pack from the charger, depress
latches and pull up on the battery pack.
Fan will make a slight humming noise when the battery
is charging.
CHARGING A HOT BATTERY PACK
When using a tool continuously, the battery pack may
become hot. A hot battery pack may be placed directly onto
the charger port but charging will not begin until the battery
temperature cools to within acceptable temperature range.
When a hot battery pack is placed on the charger, the orange
LED will be on and the green LED will be off. When the battery
pack cools, the charger will automatically begin charging.
CHARGING A COLD BATTERY PACK
A cold battery pack may be placed directly onto the charger
port but charging will not begin until the battery temperature
warms to within acceptable temperature range. When a cold
battery pack is placed on the charger, the orange LED will
be on and the green LED will be off. When the battery pack
warms the charger will automatically begin charging.
