OPERATION

Always use a battery pack until it can
no longer provide the necessary pow-
er.
Cautions:
• This charger works only with 4.8-
volt, 7.2-volt and 9.6-volt nickel-
cadmium battery packs. Charging
other types of battery packs could
damage the battery packs.
• Be sure the battery pack is rated at
4.8 V, 7.2 V, or 9.6 V.
• Avoid charging fully-charged bat-
tery packs. Doing so can damage
the battery pack or cause it to lose
some of its storage capacity.
• Charge battery packs only at room
temperature (65-80×F). Charging
battery packs in hot areas can per-
manently reduce the battery pack's
power capacity.
• To protect battery packs, allow
them to cool for 20 minutes before
recharging them.
• Charge only one battery pack at a
time.
Follow these steps to charge a battery
pack.
