3.During charging, the charging lamp will light up.

When the charge is completed, an internal electronic switch will auto- matically be triggered to prevent overcharging.

Charging will not occur if the bat- tery pack is warm (for example, immediately after heavy-duty operation). The orange standby lamp will light up until the battery becomes cool. Charging will then begin automatically.

4.When charging is completed, the charging lamp will start flashing quickly.

5.When the battery pack has not been used for a long time, the charging lamp starts flashing slow- ly to indicate protective charging. Protective charging takes longer to fully charge the battery pack, than the standard charging time. (Max. charging time is approx. 90 min- utes.)

If a fully charged battery pack is inserted into the charger again, the charging lamp may light up. After several minutes, the charging lamp may flash quickly to indicate the charging is completed.

6.If the charging lamp does not light immediately after the charger is plugged in, or if after the standard charging time the lamp does not go off, consult an authorized dealer.

Note: When a cold battery (of about 5°C (41°F) or less) is to be charged in a warm room, leave the battery in the room for at least one hour and charge it when it has warmed up to room temperature. (Failing to do so may result in less than a full charge.)

Cool down the charger when charging more than two bat- terypacks consecutively.

Do not insert your fingers into contact hole, when holding charger or any other occasions.

CAUTION: Do not use power source from an engine genera- tor.

Do not cover vent holes on the charger and the battery pack.
