CHARGING PROCEDURE:
Battery packs are shipped in a low charge condition to prevent possible problems. Therefore, you
should charge them before first use. If the charger does not charge your battery pack under normal
circumstances, return both the battery pack and charger to your nearest repair center for electrical
check. Charge time varies and is dependent upon the amp hour capacity of battery pack.
NOTICE: Do not place the charger in an area of extreme heat or cold. It will work best at normal
room temperature. The battery pack will become slightly warm to the touch while charging. This is
normal and does not indicate a problem.
1. Plug charger into household outlet, make sure the power supply is normal household voltage, 120
Volts, AC only, 60 Hz.
2. Attach the battery pack to the charger by aligning the raised ribs on the battery pack with the
grooves in the charger, then slide the battery pack onto the charger.
3. Press down on the battery pack to be sure contacts on the battery pack engage properly with
contacts in the charger. The green LED will flash as the battery charges.
4. After charging is complete, the green LED will remain on.
5. To remove the battery pack from the charger, slide back the battery pack.
6. Charging takes approx. 1-3 hours depending on battery size. The battery heats up during the
charging process. This is normal and does not signal a fault. Do not let battery remain on charger
for more than 5 hours.
Note: Occasionally, the permissible temperature range may be exceeded during the charging cycle.
In this case, the electronic charging control interrupts the charging cycle to avoid any damage to the
battery. The red control light will then glow continuously. If you should witness this, pull the battery
from the charging station and let it cool down for about 30 minutes. Then, restart the charging cycle
by sliding the battery back onto the charging station.
