4.1.11 Additional Battery and Charger Information

The battery is not shipped fully charged. It is recommended that battery be fully charged before first use
to ensure maximum run time can be achieved.

For best result, the battery should be charged in a location with a temperature between 43˚ F [61˚ C]
and 104˚ F [40˚ C]. The battery is a lithium-ion device. It will not develop a memory and may be
charged at any time.

If the battery charger light glows green and blinks when the battery is place in the battery charger, this
indicates that the battery is being charged. A solid green light indicates that the battery is fully charged.

If the battery charger light glows solid red when the battery is placed in the battery charger, this
indicated that the battery temperature is above acceptable limits. Leave the battery in the charger and
allow time (up to 30 minutes) for the battery to cool. The charger should resume charging after the
battery has cooled.

If the battery has been stored with little to no charge for a long period of time, the charger goes into
recovery mode, which will take 20 hours to full charge the battery. This will enhance the life of the
battery. Once the battery is fully charged, the next charge will return to standard charging.
