battery, it is best to try the two outermost terminals first. The failsafe
reverse-polarity protection feature will ensure that the charger does
not damage the battery. When the LED indicator emits a steady red
light, the battery is connected correctly and charging normally.
8. When the LED changes to a green light, the battery is fully charged.
Care and maintenance
Wipe the product using a dry cloth when necessary.
Troubleshooting guide
1. If the LED charging indicator does not come on it means that the
positive and negative terminals of battery are not correctly aligned
with the charging contact pins. If the green LED comes on straight
away it likely that one of the charger's contact pins is connected to
the battery's T-terminal (which does not charge it). Try moving one
of the charger's contact pins to one of the other battery terminals
to start the charging process. The LED emits a red light when the
battery is charging normally.
2. If the fully charged battery is not removed from the charger, the
charger automatically detects the voltage. If the battery's voltage
should drop, the charger will automatically start charging it again.
3. If the charging indicator goes out during charging, there is a
bad connection between the charging contacts and the battery
terminals. In this case, the charging contacts need to be adjusted.
See point 5 for details about adjusting the charging contacts.
