Operate the charger indoors only in dry
locations at an ambient temperature
between +5°C and +40°C.
Push the battery (1) into the
N
charger (2) until you feel noticeable
resistance – then push it as far as
stop.
The light emitting diode (3) on the
charger comes on when the battery is
inserted – see "Light Emitting Diodes
(LED) on Charger"
Charging begins as soon as the light
emitting diodes (4) on the battery light
up green – see "Light Emitting Diodes
(LED) on Battery".
The charge time is dependent on a
number of factors, including battery
condition, ambient temperature, etc.,
and may therefore vary from the charge
time in the "Specifications".

The battery becomes hot during
operation. If a hot battery is inserted in
the charger, it may be necessary to cool
it down before charging. The charging
process begins only after the battery has
cooled down. The time required for
cooling may prolong the charge time.
The battery and charger become warm
during the charging process.
