1. Connect the charging accessory to the appropriate power source.
2. Insert the MC45 into a cradle or attach to the USB Rapid Charge Cable and Power Supply. The MC45 begins
charging. The Charging/Battery Status LED blinks green while charging, then turns solid green when fully
charged. See Table 1-1 for charging indications.
3. The 3080mAh battery fully charges in less than six hours at room temperature of approximately 25 °C (77°F).
Charging time may vary at different temperatures.

Charging Spare Batteries
See Chapter 8, Accessories for information on using accessories to charge spare batteries.
Charging Temperature
Charge batteries in temperatures from 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F). Charging is intelligently controlled by the
MC45.
To accomplish this, for small periods of time, the MC45 or accessory alternately enables and disables battery
charging to keep the battery at acceptable temperatures. The MC45 or accessory indicates when charging is
disabled due to abnormal temperatures via its LED. See Table 1-1.
NOTE The MC45 Battery Cover must be in place and closed properly for the MC45 to power on and charge the
battery.
