OPERATION
Do not place the charger in an area of extreme heat or cold. It will work best at normal room temperature.
NOTE: The charger and battery pack should be placed in a location where the temperature is more than 50°F but less than 96°F.
The battery pack may become slightly warm to the touch while charging. This is normal and does not indicate a problem.
After charging is complete, the green LED will remain on until the battery pack is removed from the radio/charger or charger is disconnected from the power supply.
NOTE: Always remove the battery pack from the radio/ charger before unplugging the unit from a power source, or before plugging the unit into a power source.
To remove the battery pack from the charger, depress latches and pull up on the battery pack.
When the battery pack is fully charged, remove it from the charger.
CHARGING A HOT BATTERY PACK
When using a tool continuously, the battery pack may become hot. A hot battery pack may be placed directly onto the charger port but charging will not begin until the battery temperature cools to within acceptable temperature range. When a hot battery pack is placed on the charger, the red LED will begin flashing and the green LED will be off. When the battery pack cools to approximately 120°F (40°C), the charger will automatically begin charging.
CHARGING A COLD BATTERY PACK
A cold battery pack may be placed directly onto the charger port but charging will not begin until the battery temperature warms to within acceptable temperature range. When a cold battery pack is placed on the charger, the red LED will begin flashing and the green LED will be off. When the battery pack warms to approximately 32°F (0°C), the charger will automatically begin charging.

•If a different battery charges normally, dispose of the defective pack (see Maintenance section).
•If a different battery also indicates “Defective,” the charger may be defective.
