Charging the Battery Pack
Battery packs are normally shipped with low or
no charge to prevent potential problems during
shipment. Charge the battery pack before use.
Note: Batteries will not reach full charge the
first time they are charged. Allow several
cycles (operation followed by recharging)
before the battery will become fully charged.
WARNING! Battery explosion may cause serious
personal or property injury including death.
Charge the battery only within a 50° to 100° F
room temperature. Lower temperatures
may inhibit charging. Higher temperatures
increase chance of battery failure.
1. Charge the battery pack only with the included
Charger Base (25). Use of other chargers
may cause battery failure including explosion.
Item 69946 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.
2. Ensure that the Charger Base (25) is
connected to a circuit breaker protected
120 V~, 60 Hz power supply only.
3. Connect the Charger Base to the
Transformer (24), by plugging it in as shown.
Plug the Transformer (24) into
a 120 V~ wall outlet.
4. Insert the battery pack into the
Charger Base (25) by aligning
the ribs on the Charger Base with
the grooves in the battery pack.
Press the battery pack into place.
5. Press down on the battery pack to make sure
that the contacts on the battery pack are fully
engaged with the contacts in the charger unit.
6. While being charged, the green LED will be lit,
indicating that the charger is in operation.
During recharging, the battery pack
will become slightly warm to the touch.
This is normal and not a cause for concern.
7. Do not place the battery and charger in
an environment of extreme heat or cold.
They will work best at room temperature.
Note: The Charger Base (25) will not shut off
automatically. When the battery is fully charged
(after 3 to 5 hours), unplug the battery charger
and remove the battery pack. Do not leave the
battery in the Charger Base (25) indefinitely.
