OPERATION

CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
• Battery packs are shipped in a low charge condition. Therefore,
you should charge them before first use. If the charger does not
charge the battery pack under normal circumstances, bring both
the battery pack and charger to an authorised service centre.
• Make sure that the power supply is normal household voltage,
220–240V, 50/60Hz, AC only.
NOTE: When two battery packs are connected to the charger,
they are charged at the same time. The charging current is equally
distributed to the charging ports.
NOTE: When the battery becomes fully charged, the green LED
remains on. It is normal for the battery pack to become slightly
warm to touch while charging.
NOTE: When charging, the charger and battery pack should be
placed in a location where the temperature is more than 5°C but
less than 40°C.
