Note the orientation of the battery pack. Slide the battery pack into the charging bay until it stops. Then rock the battery pack back until it snaps into place. The amber indicator directly under the battery being charged will turn on if the battery is properly inserted.
The charger will perform an automatic charging cycle on inserted battery packs. First it will perform a “Fast Charge” to bring the batteries up to a usable voltage as quickly as possible. Once 80% of the charge voltage has been reached, the charger switches over to a slower rate to finish charging the battery.
The Amber indicator reports the status of the
battery under charge. It can either be on steadily, indicating the battery is undergoing a
“Fast Charge”; or be off, indicating that the | Fast | ||||||
Fa | |||||||
battery is fully charged. If the Amber and Green | ult | ||||||
| |||||||
indicators are both flashing, there is a problem |
| ||||||
with the battery pack and it will not be charged. |
| ||||||
The Green indicator reports the charging |
| ||||||
status. If it is flashing, and |
| ||||||
the Amber indicator is lit |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
steadily, it reports that the |
| ||||||
Amber |
| ||||||
charger has completed the Indicator |
|
|
|
|
| ||
|
| ||||||
|
| ||||||
fast charge part of the charg- |
| ||||||
ing cycle and is now “topping off” the battery at a slower |
| ||||||
charge rate. The battery pack is usable at this point al- |
| ||||||
though it would be more desirable to wait until the battery is |
| ||||||
full charged. |
| ||||||
If the green indicator is lit steadily, and the Amber indicator is off, the battery pack is fully charged.
