NOTES

The CHG (charge) indicator also serves as a rough estimate of the charge status.

Continuously on: Battery pack fully charged.

Two quick flashes at 1-second intervals: Battery pack at least 50% charged. If the indicator flashes quickly but not exactly in this pattern, refer to

Troubleshooting ( 89).
