LED, this lights up red. The battery is charged in ive
stages. When charging of one stage is in progress, the
corresponding LED lashes. If this stage has been ully
charged, the LED will light up permanently. Now the
next LED will begin to lash. Ater all ive LEDs have
gone out, the battery is ully charged.
4. If your charger has an LED, it may be that this lashes
red permanently. If this is the case, a charging fault
has occurred. In that case, disconnect the battery rom
the charger, then connect it again. The charger tests
the battery and performs readjustments, if required.
If the LED on the charger still lashes, take the charger
and battery to your specialist dealer who will test the
device and replace it, if required.

once the charging operation is complete.

ther use is not permitted.

vice life of the battery.
