3. The LED will flash indicating that the battery is
being charged.
4. The completion of charge is indicated by the LED
remaining on continuously. The pack is fully charged
and may be used at this time or left on the charger.
5. Recharge discharged batteries as soon as possible
after use or battery life may be greatly diminished. For
longest battery life, do not discharge batteries fully. It
is recommended that the batteries be recharged after
each use.
Charger Diagnostics
This charger is designed to detect certain problems that can
arise with the battery packs or the power source. Problems
are indicated by one LED flashing in different patterns.
Bad Battery
The charger can detect a weak or damaged battery. The LED
flashes in the pattern indicated on the label. If you see this
bad battery blink pattern, do not continue to charge the
battery. Return it to a service center or a collection site for
recycling.
Hot/Cold Pack Delay
When the charger detects a battery that is excessively
hot or excessively cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold
Pack Delay, suspending charging until the battery has
normalized. After this happens, the charger automatically
switches to the Pack Charging mode. This feature ensures
maximum battery life. The light flashes in the pattern
indicated on the label.
Leaving the Battery in the Charger
The charger and battery pack can be left connected with
the LED glowing indefinitely. The charger will keep the
battery pack fresh and fully charged. This charger features
an automatic tune-up mode which equals or balances the
individual cells in the battery pack to allow it to function at
peak capacity. Battery packs should be tuned up weekly or
whenever the battery no longer delivers the same amount
of work. To use the automatic tune-up mode, place the
battery pack in the charger and leave it for at least 8 hours.
Charger Cleaning Instructions

WARNING: Shock hazard. Disconnect the charger
from the AC outlet before cleaning. Dirt and grease
may be removed from the exterior of the charger using
a cloth or soft non-metallic brush. Do not use water or
any cleaning solutions.
Important Charging Notes
1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if
the battery pack is charged when the air temperature is
between 65 °F and 75 °F (18 ° – 24 °C). DO NOT charge
the battery pack in an air temperature below +40 °F
(+4.5 °C), or above +104 °F (+40 °C). This is important
and will prevent serious damage to the battery pack.
