3. When the charger displays READY, press the Discharge button. The top
line of the display shows DISCHARGE during the discharge cycle. When
the discharge is complete, the top line of the display shows EMPTY.
4. Press the Charge button. The top line of the display shows FAST
CHARGE during all or most of the charging cycle. When charging is
complete, the top line of the display shows BATTERY FULL.
5. Turn off power to the charger. Disconnect the charger cable from the
charger and the battery pack.

the instrument housing while
being charged. See the instrument

the battery pack.
WARNING!
Do not disconnect the battery
pack from the charger while the

Disconnecting the battery pack
while the lamp is on may cause a

• If you need to interrupt the
battery charger, press the
Reset button. The Charger
