WARNING! The LED lights on the charger indicate different charger conditions at various
times. If the LED does not indicate that charging is complete within 24 hours, unplug the
charger from the outlet and contact your Provider. Refer to the operating instructions
supplied with the charger for a complete explanation of these indicators.
NOTE: There is a charger inhibit function on your PMV. The PMV will not run and the battery condi-
tion meter will not operate while the batteries are charging.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How does the charger work?
When your PMV's battery voltage is low, the charger works harder, sending more electrical current to the
batteries to bring up their charge. As the batteries approach a full charge, the charger sends less and less
electrical current. When the batteries are fully charged, the current sent from the charger is at nearly zero
amperage. Therefore, when the charger is plugged in, it maintains the charge on your PMV's batteries, but
does not overcharge them. Refer to the manual supplied with the battery charger for charging instructions.
Can I use a different charger?
Chargers are selected precisely for particular applications and are especially matched to the type, size and
chemical formulation of specific batteries. For the safest and most efficient charging of your PMV's bat-
teries we recommend only use of the charger supplied as original equipment with your product. Any
charging method resulting in batteries being charged individually is especially prohibited.
What if my PMV's batteries won't charge?
Ensure the red (+) and black (-) battery cables are connected properly to the battery terminals.
Ensure both ends of the charger power cord are inserted fully.
