Usage Features

Charging Procedure:

Plug in the charger: Connect the charger to an AC outlet.
Insert the battery pack: Select the correct battery dock (Li-ion battery pack or Ni-MH battery pack) and slide the battery dock cover to allow insertion. Firmly insert the battery pack into the charger.
Monitor charging status: The charging lamp (green) will flash slowly once the battery is approximately 80% charged (for Li-ion batteries). When charging is completed, the charging lamp in green color will turn off. If the temperature of the battery pack is 0°C or less, charging takes longer to fully charge the battery pack than the standard charging time. Even when the battery is fully charged, it will have approximately 50% of the power of a fully charged battery at normal operating temperature.
Remove the battery: Once fully charged, remove the battery pack from the charger.

Charging Lamp Indications:

Charging is completed (Full charge): Green lamp off.
Battery is approximately 80% charged: Green lamp flashes slowly (for Li-ion).
Now charging: Green lamp on.
Charger is plugged into the AC outlet. Ready to charge: Green lamp off.
Charging Status Lamp: Left: green, Right: orange will be displayed.
Battery pack is cool: Green lamp on.
Battery pack is warm: Orange lamp flashes slowly to reduce the load on the battery. Charging will begin when temperature of battery pack drops. If the temperature of the battery pack is -10°C or less, the charging status lamp (orange) will also start flashing. Charging will begin when the temperature of the battery pack goes up.
Charging is not possible. Clogged with dust or malfunction of the battery pack: Red lamp flashes.
Turn off: No lamp.
