• When a cold battery (of about 0°C or less) is to be charged in a warm room, leave the battery in the room for at least one hour and charge it when it has warmed up to room temperature. (Failing to do so may result in less than a full charge.)

Cool down the charger when charging more than two battery packs consecu- tively.

• Do not insert your fingers into con- tact hole, when holding charger or any other occasions. CAUTION: To prevent the risk of fire or damage to the battery charger.

• Do not use power source from an engine generator.

4. During charging, the charging lamp

will be lit. When charging is completed, an inter- nal electronic switch will automatically be triggered to prevent overcharging.

• Charging will not start if the battery pack is warm (for example, immedi- ately after heavy-duty operation). The orange standby lamp will be flashing until the battery cools down. Charging will then begin automati- cally.-

5. The charge lamp (green) will flash

slowly once the battery is approxi- mately 80% charged.

When charging is completed, the charg- ing lamp will start flashing quickly in green color.

7. If the temperature of the battery pack

is 0°C or less, charging takes longer to fully charge the battery pack than the standard charging time. Even when the battery is fully charg- ed, it will have approximately 50% of the power of a fully charged battery at normal operating temperature.

8. If the power lamp does not light

immediately after the charger is plugged in, or if after the standard charging time the charging lamp does not flash quickly in green, consult an authorized dealer.
