Charging the Battery
When delivered, the battery is not fully
charged.
It is advisable to charge the battery
completely before using it for the first
time.
Connect the charger to the power
N
supply – mains voltage and
operating voltage of the charger
must match – see "Connecting
Charger to Power Supply"
Operate the charger only in a closed, dry
space at ambient temperatures of +5 °C
to +40 °C (41° F to 104° F) .
Slide the battery (1) into the
N
charger (2) until you start to feel
resistance – then push it in until it
engages

After insertion of the battery, the LED (3)
on the charger is on – see "Light-
Emitting Diodes (LED) on Charger".
The charging process begins as soon as
the LEDs (4) on the battery are green –
see "Light-Emitting Diodes (LED) on
Battery".
The charging time is dependent on
different factors such as battery
condition, ambient temperature, etc. and
can therefore deviate from the specified
charging times – see "Specifications".

The battery warms up in the machine
during use. If a warm battery is inserted
in the charger, it may be necessary for
the battery to cool off before charging.
The charging process does not start until
the battery has cooled off. The charging
time can be extended by the cooling off
period.
The battery and the charger warm up
during the charging process.

The charger waits with the charging
procedure until the battery has cooled
off on its own. The battery is cooled by
the heat emitted to the ambient air.
Charging finished

the charger switches off automatically,
then:
the LEDs on the battery go out
–
the LED on the charger goes out
