Battery Charger (continued)
Each battery charging slot has two lights that tell you the status of the battery. A green light
next to “Ready” means the battery is fully charged. The light next to “Status” may mean
different things, depending upon the color. The table below describes the lights that appear
next to “Status”.
The charger has two indicators for each charging bay. The indicators are “Ready” and “Status.”
The green light adjacent to the “Ready” indicates that the battery is fully charged (Figure 56).
