Step Description

2. Connect the charger to the power supply, the green function indicator lights up.
3. Insert the battery. The yellow status indicator flashes to indicate that the battery has been
recognized.
4. Make sure the green status indicator remains on.
The battery is now being charged. Refer to section "2.6 Indicators Lamps", if after
connecting the battery a different status indicator lights up.
Check the status indicator after about one minute.
5. The battery has been completely charged when the green status indicator starts to flash.
Refer to section "5 Technical Data", for information on the charging times.
6. The battery may be removed or remain connected to ensure it is fully charged when
needed. Refer to section "Charging modes" for more information.
The GKL221 charger can charge two batteries simultaneously.
When more than one battery is connected to the charger, the one connected first is charged first.
Always connect the more urgently needed battery first.
Batteries are charged at the external battery connection without interrupting a charging process already
begun.
When the battery is fully charged, it may remain connected. NiCd and NiMH batteries are charged in
turns to retain their full charge. In this way, the intrinsic self-discharging is compensated and the battery
is always fully charged and ready for use. Refer to section "Charging modes" for more information.
