Charge Indicators 
This charger is designed to detect certain problems that can arise. 
Problems are indicated by the red light flashing at a fast rate. If this 
occurs, remove and then reinsert the battery pack into the charger. 
If the problem persists, try a different battery pack to determine if the 
charger is working properly. If the new pack charges correctly, then the 
original pack is defective and should be returned to a service center 
or other collection site for recycling. If the new battery pack elicits 
the same trouble indication as the original, have the charger and the 
battery pack tested at an authorized service center. 
HOT/COLD DELAY
This charger has a hot/cold delay feature: when the charger detects a 
battery that is hot, it automatically starts a delay, suspending charging 
until the battery has cooled. After the battery has cooled, the charger 
automatically switches to the pack charging mode. This feature 
ensures maximum battery life. The red light flashes long, then short 
while in the hot/cold delay mode. 
•  Do not place any object on top of the charger or place the 
charger on a soft surface that might block the ventilation 
slots and result in excessive internal heat. Place the charger 
in a position away from any heat source. The charger is ventilated 
through slots in the top and the bottom of the housing.
•  Do not operate the charger with a damaged cord or plug.
•  Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, 
been dropped or otherwise damaged in any way. Take it to an 
authorized service center.
•  Do not disassemble the charger; take it to an authorized 
service center 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 charger is designed to operate on standard 120V 
household electrical power. Do not attempt to use it on any 
other voltage.
