charger. This will reduce risk of damage to electric plug
and cord.
• Make sure that cord is located so that it will not be
stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to
damage or stress.
• Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely
necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in risk
of fire, electric shock, or electrocution.
• Do not place any object on top of charger/radio or place
the charger/radio on a soft surface that might block the
ventilation slots and result in excessive internal heat.
Place the charger/radio in a position away from any heat
source.
• Do not operate charger/radio with damaged cord or
plug — have them replaced immediately.
• Do not operate charger/radio if it has received a sharp
blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way.
Take it to an authorised service centre.
• Do not disassemble charger/radio; take it to an
authorised service centre when service or repair is
required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric
shock, electrocution or fire.
• Disconnect the charger from the outlet before
attempting any cleaning. This will reduce the risk of
electric shock. Removing the battery pack will not reduce
this risk.
• NEVER attempt to connect 2 chargers together.
• The DCR017 charger/radio is designed to operate on
standard 230 V household electrical power. Do not
attempt to use it on any other voltage. This does not apply
to the vehicular charge
Charging a Battery (Fig. C)
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before inserting
battery pack.
2. Insert the battery pack

battery pack is fully seated in the charger. The red (charging)
light will blink repeatedly indicating that the charging
process has started.
3. The completion of charge will be indicated by the red
light remaining ON continuously. The battery pack is fully
charged and may be used at this time or left in the charger.
nOtE: To ensure maximum performance and life of lithium-ion
battery packs, charge the battery pack fully before first use.

problem pack or charger
The compatible charger(s) will not charge a faulty battery pack.
The charger will indicate faulty battery by refusing to light or by
displaying problem pack or charger blink pattern.
nOtE: This could also mean a problem with a charger.
If the charger indicates a problem, take the charger and battery
pack to be tested at an authorised service centre.
hot/cold Pack Delay
When the charger detects a battery pack that is too hot or too
cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack Delay, suspending
charging until the battery pack has reached an appropriate
temperature. The charger then automatically switches to the
pack charging mode. This feature ensures maximum battery
pack life.
A cold battery pack will charge at a slower rate than a warm
battery pack. The battery pack will charge at that slower rate
throughout the entire charging cycle and will not return to
maximum charge rate even if the battery pack warms.
Electronic Protection system
XR Li-Ion tools are designed with an Electronic Protection
System that will protect the battery pack against overloading,
overheating or deep discharge.
The tool will automatically turn off if the Electronic Protection
System engages. If this occurs, place the lithium-ion battery
pack on the charger until it is fully charged.
Charger/Radio Cleaning Instructions

WARNING: Shock hazard. Disconnect the charger from
the AC outlet before cleaning. Dirt and grease may be
removed from the exterior of the charger/radio using a
cloth or soft non-metallic brush. Do not use water
or any cleaning solutions.
