IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES
1.The charger was designed to fast charge the battery only when the battery temperature is between 32˚F (0˚C) and 113˚F (45˚C). If the battery pack is too hot or too cold, the charger will not fast charge the battery. (This may happen if the battery pack is hot from heavy use). When the battery temperature returns to between 32˚F (0˚C) and 113˚F (45˚C), the charger will automatically begin charging.
2.A substantial drop in operating time per charge may mean that the battery pack is nearing the end of its life and should be replaced.
3.Remember to unplug charger during storage period.
4.If battery does not charge properly:
a.Check for voltage at outlet by plugging in some other electrical device.
b.Check to see if outlet is connected to a light switch which turns power “off” when lights are turned off.
c.Check battery pack terminals for dirt. Clean with cotton swab and alcohol if necessary.
d.If you still do not get proper charging, take or send tool, battery pack and charger to your local Bosch Service Center. See “Tools, Electric” in the Yellow Pages for names and addresses.
Note: Use of chargers or battery packs not sold by Bosch will void the warranty.

The lithium ion battery is protected against deep discharging by the “Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)”. When the battery is empty, the tool is switched off by means of a protective circuit.
The battery is supplied partially charged. Completely charge the battery before using your cordless screwdriver for the first time.
The lithium ion battery can be charged at any time, without reducing its service life. Interrupting the charging procedure does not damage the battery.
Plug charger cord into your standard power outlet, then insert battery pack into charger (Fig. 4).
