Note:
When you charge the battery pack for the
first time, or after prolonged storage,
charge it for about 24 hours to bring the
battery up to full capacity.
EY023Q
1. Plug the charger into the AC outlet.
2. Insert the battery pack firmly into the charger.
(Fig. 8)
3. During charging, the charging lamp will be lit.
When charging is completed, an internal elec¬
tronic switch will automatically be triggered to
prevent overcharging.
• Charging will not start if the battery pack is
warm (for example, immediately after
heavy-duty operation).
The orange standby lamp will be lit until the
battery cools down. Charging will then
begin automatically.
4. When charging is completed, the charging
lamp will start flashing rapidly.
5. When in any of the conditions that battery
pack is too cool, or the battery pack has not
been used for a long time, the charging lamp
starts flashing slowly to indicate protective
charging. Protective charging takes longer to
fully charge the battery pack, than the stan¬
dard charging time. (Max. charging time is
approx. 90 minutes).
• If a fully charged battery pack is inserted
into the charger again, the charging lamp
may light up and then flash slowly. After
several minutes, the charging lamp may
flash quickly to indicate the charging is
completed.
6. If the charging lamp does not light immedi¬
ately after the charger is plugged in, or if after
the standard charging time the lamp does not
go off, consult an authorized dealer.
Note:
• When a cold battery (of about 5°C or
less) is to be charged in a warm room,
leave the battery in the room for at least
one hour and charge it when it has
warmed up to room temperature. (Fail¬
ing to do so may result in less than a full
charge.)
• Cool down the charger when charging
more than two battery packs consecu¬
tively.
• Do not insert your fingers into contact
hole, when holding charger or any other
occasions.
CAUTION:
• Do not use power source from an
engine generator.
• Do not cover vent holes on the
charger and the battery pack.
