1. Plug the charger into an appropriate AC power outlet.
2. Insert the battery pack into the charger, as shown in Figure 1, making
sure the pack is fully seated in the charger. The red (charging) light will
blink continuously indicating that the charging process has started.
3. The battery pack will be fully charged in about 1 hour under most
conditions. The completion of charge will be indicated by the red light
remaining ON continuously. The pack is fully charged and may be used
at this time or left in the charger.

1. Plug the charger into an appropriate AC power outlet. The charger will
beep twice and the red light will blink and then go off.
2. Insert the battery pack into the charger, as shown in Figure 1, making
sure the pack is fully seated in the charger. The red light will blink and the
charger will beep once indicating the charging process has started.
3. The battery pack will be fully charged in less than 15 minutes under most
conditions. This will be indicated by the red light remaining ON and 3
audible beeps. The pack is fully charged and may be used at this time or
left in the charger.

When the red light remains ON, the charger has switched to its "equalize
charge" mode which lasts approximately 4 hours, after which the charger
will switch to "maintenance charge" mode. The battery pack can be removed
at any time during these charge cycles, but will only be fully charged if the
red light is continuously ON. The charger and battery pack can be left
connected with the red light glowing indefinitely. The charger will keep the
battery pack fresh and fully charged.
N N O O T T E E : A battery pack will slowly lose
its charge when kept out of the
charger. If the battery pack has not
been kept on maintenance charge, it
may need to be recharged before
use. A battery pack may also slowly
lose its charge if left in a charger that
is not plugged into an appropriate AC
source.

These chargers are designed to detect certain problems that can arise with
battery packs which would be indicated by the red light flashing at a fast rate
and continuous beeping. If this occurs, re-insert battery pack. If problem
persists, try a different battery pack to determine if the charger is OK. If the
new pack charges correctly, then the original pack is defective and should be
returned to a Service Center for recycling. If the new battery pack elicits the
same trouble indication as the original pack, have the charger tested at an
authorized Service Center.

The charger can also detect a weak battery. Such batteries are still usable
but should not be expected to perform as much work. In such cases, about
10 seconds after battery insertion, the charger will beep rapidly 8 times to
indicate a weak battery condition. The charger will then go on to charge the
battery to the highest capacity possible.
