Conditioning Cycle Procedure
The Battery Pack Conditioning Cycle will take the
batteries through a series of events to balance the
individual cells and give peak battery capacity and
run time.
Battery Packs should be conditioned every 50-
charge/discharge cycles or whenever the fully
charge Battery Pack no longer delivers the proper
run time (approximately 30 minutes when used in
carpet/bare floor mode).
IMPORTANT NOTES
Once the Conditioning Cycle Button is depressed,
the Cycle may not be interrupted. To ensure proper
Battery performance, please allow 24 hours to
condition/charge your Battery Pack.
1. To condition your Battery Pack, seat the
Battery Pack into the Battery Charger.
Depress the Conditioning Cycle Button.
2. The Green Conditioning Cycle Light will begin
to flash, indicating that the Conditioning Cycle
has started. After 24 hours, the Rapid Charging
Light will glow solid green and the
Conditioning Cycle Light will shut OFF. YOUR
BATTERY PACK IS NOW CONDITIONED, FULLY
CHARGED AND READY FOR USE.
NOTE: A Battery Pack will slowly lose its charge
when it is not seated in the Battery Charger.
Store 1 Battery Pack in the Battery Charger.
The Charger may be left plugged in. The Battery
Rapid Charging Light will glow solid and the
Battery Charger will keep the Battery Pack fresh
and fully charged.

Battery Charger
Cooling Fan
This Battery Charger is equipped with an internal
Fan that provides rapid cooling of the Battery
Pack. Fan operation is automatic and will turn
ON and OFF as required during battery charging.
After discharging a Battery Pack, it is best to
place it in the Battery Charger Compartment
immediately so that the Fan can cool it quickly
and prolong the Battery Pack life.
NOTE: The Cooling Fan is provided with a Mesh
Pre-Filter. To ensure maximum airflow, we
recommend the Mesh Pre-Filter be cleaned
every month. If the Battery Charger is kept
in a dusty environment, you will find it
necessary to clean the Mesh Pre-Filter more
often. A dirty Pre-Filter will reduce the
airflow through the Battery Pack and require
more time to cool the Battery Pack .
WARNING: Never run the Battery Charger without
the Mesh Pre-Filter in place. Without the
Mesh Pre-Filter, the Fan may blow debris
from vent areas into the Battery Pack and
possibly out of the Battery Pack outlet. Keep
your eyes away from vent areas.
Cleaning the Battery Charger
Mesh Pre-Filter
The Mesh Pre-Filter is located on the back of the
Battery Charger Cover. Lift the Lever on the base
of the Filter Cover, then tilt the Filter Cover
upwards until it falls away from the front of the
Battery Charger body. (See Figure 2c.)
Turn the Filter Cover over; the Mesh Pre-Filter
will be attached to the back of the Cover. Peel
the Mesh Pre-Filter away from the Cover and
rinse under running water to clean. Dry
thoroughly before re-attaching onto the back of
the Battery Charger Cover.
Peel the Mesh
Pre-Filter away
from the back of
