Important notes
Charge the battery pack indoors when the ambient temperature is between
•
10 °C and 40 °C (between 50 °F and 104 °F). If you try to charge the battery
when the ambient temperature is outside this range, the protective circuit will
activate and prevent it from being charged normally.
After charging the battery pack, do not recharge it until it has been fully
•
discharged. Recharging a fully charged battery pack lowers its performance.
To prevent malfunction, keep the charging plug clean.
•
If the charger indicator LED2 blinks orange and green after charging is started,
•
there may be a problem in the battery pack. Do NOT use or charge the battery
pack any further. Please contact your dealer.
If the ambient temperature drops below 10 °C (50 °F) while the battery pack is
•
charging, charging stops. When the ambient temperature rises above 10 °C
(50 °F), charging resumes.
If both the charger indicators LED1 and LED2 remain orange for more than
•
three hours while the ambient temperature is in the normal range (10 °C
through 40 °C or 50 °F through 104 °F), there may be a problem with the
battery pack. Do NOT use or charge the battery pack any further. Please
contact your dealer.
During the charge, the battery pack and charger will become warm. This is
•
normal.
If the battery pack is used at temperatures below -20 °C (-4 °F), the battery
•
capacity will be reduced and result in less operation time than if the battery
pack is used at room temperature.
If a battery pack is not used for a long period, it can never be charged to its full
•
capacity again.
Although the battery pack (P/N BC-80) has an auto-reset circuit breaker, you
Never burn or heat the battery. Doing so may cause the battery to leak or rupture.
Before storing the battery pack or battery charger, cover the contact points with
