Important • A fault condition is caused by a problem with the battery. The charger may indicate a fault because the battery is too hot or cold to charge reliably. Try to charge the battery again when it returns to the room’s ambient temperature. If the Amber indicator starts flashing on the second attempt, the battery should be discarded. Always dispose of batteries in a proper manner. Refer to Appendix D

Note • Charge times are for completely discharged batteries.
