lamp will start flashing quickly in green color.

after the charger is plugged in, or if after the
standard charging time the lamp does not go
off, consult an authorized dealer.
NOTE:
• When charging a cool battery pack (below 5°C
(41°F)) in a warm place, leave the battery pack
at the place and wait for more than one hour to
warm up the battery to the level of the ambient
temperature. Otherwise battery pack may not
be fully charged.

than two battery packs consecutively.
• Do not insert your fingers into contact hole,
when holding charger or any other occasions.

erator.
