BATTERY PACK AND CHARGER
CHARGER INDICATORS
■ Preparation: The charging process starts
as soon as the battery charger is plugged
into a power supply socket and the battery is
inserted into the charger.
■ If the battery is not inserted, a continuous
red light indicates that the charger is plugged
into a power supply socket and is now ready
to begin charging.
■ Charging: a flashing green LED on the
charger indicates that the battery is charging
normally.
■ Charged: continuous green LED on the
charger indicates that the battery is ready for
use.
■ The indicator lights on the charger show
the charger status:

■ The intelligent charger ensures maximum
battery life, because it measures the existing
charge level of the battery and then charges
with the required current and voltage. Charge
battery fully before storage.
■ Technical Issue: a flashing red LED light
on the charger indicates that battery pack has
a charging problem or might be defective.
- One possible condition is the battery
temperature is not within the charging
temperature range of 23
charging current is too high. As soon as the
permitted temperature and the charging
current ranges are reached, the battery
charger will automatically switch to charging.
- If the temperature range and charging
current are correct and flashing red LED
light continues, then remove and reinstall
the battery pack. If the LED status repeats a
second time, try to charge another identical
battery. If the battery charges normally,
dispose of the defective battery pack (see
Environmentally Safe Battery Disposal
section).
- If the flashing red light continues after
installing the second battery, the charger may
be defective. Replace with a new one.
■ After continuous or repeated charging
cycles without interruption, the charger
surface may become noticeably warm. This
is normal and does not indicate a technical
defect of the battery charger.
■ Green LED flashing rapidly indicates that
the battery voltage is low, and that charging
will only continue for about another 30
minutes.
WARNING!
electric shock, or electrocution：
■ Do not use a damp cloth or detergent on
the battery or battery charger.
■ Always remove the battery pack before
cleaning, inspecting, or performing any
maintenance on the product.
