Charger Indicators, symbols and meaning (model BC1836)
If the indicator lights are "OFF", the charger is
not receiving power from power supply outlet.
If the green indicator light is "ON",
the charger is plugged in but the
battery pack is not inserted, or the
battery pack is fully charged.
If the green indicator light is
"BLINKING", the battery pack is
being
charging will automatically stop
when the battery pack is fully charged.
Plug charger cord into your standard power outlet.
With no battery pack inserted, the charger's green
indicator light will go ON. This indicates the
charger is receiving power and the charger is
ready for operation.
When you insert the battery pack into the charger.
The charger's green indicator light will begin to
"BLINK". This indicates that the battery is
receiving a fast charge (Fig. 3).
When the indicator light stops "BLINKING" (and
becomes a steady green light) fast charging is
complete. The battery pack is fully charged and
can be removed from the charger.
The battery pack may be used even though the light
may still be blinking. The light may require more time
to stop blinking depending on temperature.
The purpose of the green light is to indicate that
the battery pack is fast-charging. It does not
indicate the exact point of full charge. The light will
stop blinking in less time if the battery pack was
not completely discharged.
When you begin the charging process of the
battery pack, a steady red light could also mean
the battery pack is too hot or too cold.
Fast charging is only possible when the
temperature range of the battery pack is between
32˚F (0˚C) and 113˚F (45˚C). When needed, the
internal fan of the charger will turn on to aid the
charging process and speed.
As soon as the battery pack reaches the correct
temperature range, the battery charger will
automatically switch to fast charging.
