CHARGING THE BATTERY (TB24HTB only)
The battery for this unit has been shipped in a low
charge condition to prevent possible problems.
Therefore you should charge the battery for at least 8
hours before using.
NOTE: Batteries will not reach full charge the first time
they are charged. Allow several cycles (trimming
followed by recharging) for batteries to be fully
charged.
1. Charge battery only with the 14.4V charger provided.
2. Plug the 14.4V charger into the wall outlet and its
barrel connector into the battery charger (Fig. 3).
Make sure the wall outlet is normal house voltage,
120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only.
NOTE: Do not place charging stand in an area of
extreme heat or cold. It will work best at normal
room temperature.
