3.During charging, the charging lamp will be lit.

When charging is completed, an internal electronic switch will automatically be triggered to prevent overcharging.

•Charging will not start if the battery pack is warm (for example, immediately after heavy-duty operation).

The orange standby lamp will remain on until the battery cools down. Charging will then begin automatically.

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

5.If the battery pack is too cool, or the battery pack has not been used for a long time, the charging lamp will light up. In this case it takes longer than normal to fully charge the battery pack.

•If a fully charged battery pack is inserted into the charger again, the charging lamp lights up. After several minutes, the charging lamp may flash quickly to indicate that 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 passes, the lamp does not go off, consult an authorized dealer.

NOTE:

•When charging a cool battery pack (below 5°C (41°F)) in a warm place, leave the battery pack in the place and wait for more than one hour to allow the battery to reach the ambient temperature. Otherwise battery pack may not fully charge.

•Allow the charger to cool down when charging more than two battery packs consecutively.

•Do not insert your fingers into contact hole when holding charger or at any other time.

CAUTION:

To prevent fire or damage to the battery charger:

•Do not use an engine generator as a power source.

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