battery pack.
2. Insert the battery pack into the charger.
3. The green LeD will flash indicating that the battery is
being charged.
4. The completion of charge is indicated by the green LeD
remaining on continuously. The pack is fully charged and
may be used at this time or left on the charger.
recharge discharged batteries as soon as possible after use or

bad battery blink pattern, do not continue to charge the battery.
return it to a service center or a collection site for recycling.
Hot/cold pacK delay
When the charger detects a battery that is excessively hot
or excessively cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack
Delay, suspending charging until the battery has normalized.
After this happens, the charger automatically switches to the
Pack Charging mode. This feature ensures maximum battery
life. The red LeD flashes in the pattern indicated on the label
when the hot / cold pack delay is detected.
leaving tHe battery in tHe cHarger
The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the green
LeD glowing indefinitely. The charger will keep the battery pack
fresh and fully charged.
iMportant cHarging notes
1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the
battery pack is charged when the air temperature is between 60°F
and 80°F (16°- 27°C). DO NOT charge the battery pack in an air
temperature below +40°F (+4.5°C), or above +105°F (+40.5°C).
This is important and will prevent serious damage to the battery
pack.
2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to touch
while charging. This is a normal condition, and does not indicate
a problem. To facilitate the cooling of the battery pack after use,
avoid placing the charger or battery pack in a warm environment
such as in a metal shed, or an uninsulated trailer.
3. If the battery pack does not charge properly:
a. Check current at receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other
appliance
b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch
which turns power off when you turn out the lights.
c. Move charger and battery pack to a location where the
surrounding air temperature is approximately 60°F - 80°F (16° -
27°C).
