OPERATION
CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
Battery packs are shipped in a low charge. Therefore, you should charge your battery before it's first
use. If the charger does not charge the battery pack under normal circumstances, return both the
battery pack and charger to your nearest Authorized Service Center for service.
• Charge the battery pack only with the recommended charger.
• Connect the charger to a power supply. For approved power sources, refer to the operator's
manual of the charger.
• Make sure the battery pack is secured in the charger before beginning operation.
• Press down on the battery pack to ensure the contacts on the battery pack engage properly with
the contacts in the charger.
• The battery pack may become slightly warm to the touch while charging. This is normal and does
not indicate a problem.
• Do not place the charger and battery pack in an area of extreme heat or cold. They will work best
at normal room temperature.
• When batteries become fully charged, unplug the charger from the power supply and remove the
battery pack.
