Plug charger cord into your standard power outlet.
With no battery pack inserted, the charger's green
indicator lights 4 and 7 will go ON. This indicates
the charger is receiving power and the charger is
ready for operation.
When you insert a battery pack 1 into
either slot 2 or 3, the corresponding
green indicator light 4 or 7 will begin to
"BLINK". This indicates that a battery
is receiving a fast charge.
NOTES:
• Only one battery can be charged at a time. The
first battery inserted is the first to get charged.
The second inserted battery will start charging
only after the first battery is fully charged.
• If both batteries are installed before connecting
the charger to power outlet, the 18V battery
charges first.
Once approximately 80% battery capacity has
been reached, the blinking of green light will slow
down, indicating that fast charging is now
complete. If battery remains in charger, the
charging process is completed in Long Life
charging mode.
The purpose of the rapidly "BLINKING" green light
is to indicate that the battery pack is fast-charging.
It does not indicate the exact point of full charge.
The light will stop blinking when battery is fully
charged.
Continuous green battery charger light
indicates that the battery is fully
charged. However, the battery pack
may be used at any time, even if the
green light is still blinking.
You can use the USB port 6 to charge various
battery-operated USB devices like mobile
phones, tablets or MP3 players.
Ensure that your external USB device can be
charged using the USB port on the charger.
Do not connect any device
that is not compatible with
5VDC, 2.1A power source to the USB port.
Charging of non-compatible devices may create a
risk of charger malfunction.
