exhaustive discharge and damage to the battery
cells.
The operating display (1) lights up continuously.
8.3
Refresh mode
NiCd battery packs may discharge naturally by
themselves and the cells in the battery pack may
assume different charging states.
The full power of a battery pack may no longer be
available as a result. If you suspect that the battery
is suffering from this effect, you can use refresh
mode to restore full power back to the battery
pack, depending on its age.
Only for NiCd battery packs – not for Li-ion battery
packs. Use a maximum of once a month for each
battery pack.
1) Slide the battery pack up to the stop.
2) Press the refresh mode button (3) until the
refresh mode indicator (4) flashes.
Refresh mode stops automatically after approx. 8
hours. The battery pack is then fully charged.
Note: The battery pack can be removed from the
charger at any time, thereby interrupting refresh
mode.
When the operating indicator (1) lights up continu-
ously, this signals the end of refresh mode.
Leaving the battery charger switched on with the
battery pack still attached keeps the battery pack
at full charge and available for use at any time.
8.4
Removing battery pack
Press in the two release tabs (7)and remove the
battery pack.

• Battery pack is defective. Remove the battery
pack immediately from the charger.
• Short circuit between the charging contacts.
Check the contacts for foreign bodies.
