purpose, press the side snap (pic. 2).

2. Insert the plug (pic. 2) in the battery outlet and

plug the charger electric cable to the appropriate socket. Red diode indicates charging.

3. The charger will nish the charging automatically

after the battery has been fully charged (after app. 3-5 hours). Green diode is on. Due to the intelligent charging, the battery charging state is automatically recognised and the battery is always charged by the optimum charging current, depending on the temperature and voltage. By this, the battery is treated smoother and stays fully charged when kept in the charger. Caution: Charging is only possible when the battery temperature is within the admissible temperature range. See the instructions on the battery. Charging instructions The charger may get warm in continuous or consecutive charging cycles with no interruption. However, this is not a defective state and it is no technical defect of the charger. A signicantly shortened operation time after charging indicates that the battery is worn out and it must be replaced. The battery has been tted with an NTC temperature sensor, allowing charging within 0°C - 40°C only. Long service life of the battery is achieved by this. The Li-Ion battery is protected against deep discharge “Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)”.
