Inserting a charged battery

To insert a battery:

1Wipe the terminals of the charged battery with a clean cloth to ensure a good connection.

2Insert the charged battery into the slot until the latch clicks.

The battery pack has been designed so that you cannot install it with reverse polarity.

If the battery does not slide into the slot easily, move the battery release lock to the unlocked position and try again. Do not force the battery into position.
