Charging the Batteries
1. Open the battery compartment cover to expose the battery
packs inside. Press the push lock buttons on the batteries
to pull the battery packs out of the equipment (Fig. 1).
2. Check that the mains voltage is the same as that marked on
the rating plate of the battery charger. Then, insert the charger's
plug into the electrical wall outlet. When you plug in the charger,
two green lights will illuminate and stay green (Fig. 2).
3. Place the battery packs into the charger by sliding the packs to
lock them into position. When you insert the batteries into the
charger, the two green lights will go off, and the red lights will
illuminate to indicate that the batteries are charging (Fig. 3).
4. When the charger lights turn green, the batteries are fully
charged (Fig. 3).
NOTE:
A fully discharged pack with an internal
temperature in the normal range will fully charge in
1 hr 50 min (between 32ºF/0ºC and 113ºF/45ºC).
5. If the light indicators do not come on at all, check that
the battery packs are fully seated into the bay. Remove
the battery packs and reinsert. If the problem persists,

WARNING!
This charger does not automatically turn
off when the batteries are fully charged. Please take care not
to leave the batteries in the charger. Switch off or unplug the
charger at the mains when charging is complete.
7. Timely recharging of the batteries will help prolong the
batter
ies'
life. You must recharge the battery packs when
you notice a drop in the equipment's power.
IMPORTANT! Never allow the battery packs to become
fully discharged as this will cause irreversible damage to
the batteries.
Charging a Hot or Cold Battery Pack
The green indicator lights on the charger base indicates that
the battery packs' temperatures are outside the charging
range. Once the packs are within the acceptable range, normal
charging will take place and the red light will be continuous.
Hot or cold battery packs may take longer to charge.
