LED FUNCTIONS OF CHARGER
See Figure 2 .
LED WILL BE ON TO INDICATE STATUS
OF CHARGER AND BATTERY PACK:
•
Red LED on = Fast charging mode.
•
Green LED on = Fully charged battery pack.
•
Yellow and Green LEDs on = Control charge or
defective battery pack.
•
No LED on = Defective charger or battery pack.
CAUTION:
To prevent damage to battery pack, remove
battery pack from charger immediately if no LED
comes on. Return battery pack and charger to
your nearest Homelite Authorized Service Center
for checking or replacing. Also, if you are remov-
ing battery pack from charger and no LEDs are
on, return both battery pack and charger to your
nearest Homelite Authorized Service Center. Do
not insert another battery pack into charger. A
damaged charger may damage a battery pack.
CHARGING YOUR BATTERY PACK
The battery pack for this unit has been shipped in a
low charge condition to prevent possible problems.
Therefore, you should charge it prior to use.
NOTE: Batteries will not reach full charge the first
time they are charged. Allow several cycles (trimming
followed by recharging) for them to fully charge.
TO CHARGE
•
Charge battery pack only with the charger pro-
vided.
•
Make sure power supply is normal household
voltage, 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only.
•
Connect charger to power supply.
•
Place battery pack in charger. See Figure 2 . Align
raised rib on battery pack with groove in charger.
OPERATION
•
When charger is properly connected, red light will
turn on. Press down on battery pack to be sure
contacts on battery pack engage properly with
contacts in charger.
•
Normally, the yellow and green lights on the
charger will come on. This indicates charger is in
control charge mode and should switch to fast
charge mode within 5 minutes. When charger is in
fast charge mode the yellow and green lights will
go off and the red light will come on. If after a
period of 15 minutes the yellow and green lights
remain on, remove the battery pack, wait 1 minute
and reinsert battery pack in charger. If the yellow
and green lights continue to remain on an additional
15 minutes, the battery pack is damaged and will
not accept charge.
•
When your battery pack becomes fully charged,
the red light will turn off and the green light will turn
on.
•
After normal usage, 1 hour of charge time is
required to be fully charged. A minimum charge
time of 1 to 1-1/2 hours is required to recharge a
completely discharged battery pack.
•
The battery pack will become slightly warm to the
touch while charging. This is normal and does not
indicate a problem.
•
DO NOT place charger in an area of extreme heat
or cold. It will work best at normal room tempera-
ture.
