Battery Pack Maintenance Cycling

If the battery pack begins to have a reduced operating time between charges, it may be due
to "memory effect". This effect can be eliminated or reduced by battery pack maintenance
cycling, which fully discharges and then recharges the battery pack. Do not discharge
completely more than once a month, or the battery pack will deteriorate quickly.
To perform battery maintenance cycling:
1. Ensure that the power switch on the charger is OFF.
2. Insert a battery pack into slot 4.
3. Turn the power switch ON.
4. The DIS CHG light illuminates to indicate the battery pack is being discharged.
5. Charging begins when discharge is complete. The discharge/charge process takes
about 13 hours.
