Charging (Fig. 3 for SC130DRA)
Plug the fast charger into your power source. The charging light will flash in green color. Insert the battery cartridge so
that the plus and minus terminals on the battery cartridge are on the same sides as their respective markings on the
fast charger. Insert the cartridge fully into the port so that it rests on the charger port floor. When the battery cartridge
is inserted, the charging light color will change from green to red and charging will begin. The charging light will remain
lit steadily during charging. When charging is completed, the charging light color will change from red to green and
tone will sound steadily for about 5 seconds. After charging, unplug the charger from the power source. Refer to the
table below for the charging time.
