chargers are designed to charge
®
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before inserting the battery pack.
2. Insert the battery pack into the charger.

4. The completion of charge is indicated by the green LED remaining on continuously. The
pack is fully charged and may be used at t his time or left on the charger.
Recharge discharged batteries as soon as possible after use or battery life may be greatly diminished.
CHARGER DIAGNOSTICS
This charger is designed to detect certain problems that can arise with the battery packs or the
power source. Problems are indicated by one LED flashing in different patterns.
BAD BATTERY
The charger can detect a weak or damaged battery. The red LED flashes in the pattern
indicated on the label. If you see this bad battery blink pattern, do not continue to charge the
battery. Return it to a service center or a collection site for recycling.
HOT/COLD PACK DELAY
When the charger detects a battery that is excessively hot or excessively cold, it automatically
starts a Hot/Cold Pack Delay, suspending charging until the battery has normalized.
After this happens, the charger automatically switches to the Pack Charging mode. This
feature ensures maximum battery life. The red LED flashes in the pattern indicated on the
label when the hot / cold pack delay is detected.
