Charging Procedure
DANGER: Electrocution hazard. 120 volts present at charging
terminals. Do not probe with conductive objects.
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before inserting bat-
tery pack.
2. Insert the battery pack into the charger. The red (charging) light
will blink continuously indicating that the charging process has
started.
3. The completion of charge will be indicated by the red light
remaining ON continuously. The pack is fully charged and may
be used at this time or left in the charger.

Charge Indicators
Some chargers are designed to detect certain problems that can

flashing at a fast rate. If this occurs, re-insert battery pack into the
charger. If the problem persists, try a different battery pack to
determine if the charger is OK. If the new pack charges correctly,
then the original pack is defective and should be returned to a
service center or other collection site for recycling. If the new bat-
tery pack elicits the same trouble indication as the original, have
the charger tested at an authorized service center.
HOT/COLD PACK DELAY
Some chargers have a Hot/Cold Pack Delay feature: when the
charger detects a battery that is hot, it automatically starts a Hot
Pack Delay, suspending charging until the battery has cooled. After
the battery has cooled, the charger automatically switches to the
Pack Charging mode. This feature ensures maximum battery life.
The red light flashes long, then short while in the Hot Pack Delay
mode.
