II. CHARGING THE BATTERY

Common Cautions for the Li-ion/Ni-Cd Battery Pack

NOTE:

• 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 consecutively.
• Do not insert your fingers into contact 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.
• Do not cover vent holes on the charger and the battery pack.
• Unplug the charger when not in use.

Li-ion Battery Pack

NOTE:

Your battery pack is not fully charged at the time of purchase. Be sure to charge the battery before use.

Battery charger (EY0L10)

1. Plug the charger into the AC outlet.

NOTE:

Sparks may be produced when the plug is inserted into the AC power supply, but this is not a problem in terms of safety.

1. Slide the battery dock cover back to allow insertion of the Li-ion battery pack.

- Verify that the cover is locked securely in place.

1. Insert the battery pack firmly into the charger.

To AC outlet

1. During charging, the charging lamp will be lit.

When charging is completed, an internal electronic switch will automatically be triggered to prevent overcharging.

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

1. The charge lamp (green) will flash slowly once the battery is approximately 80% charged.
2. When charging is completed, the charging lamp will start flashing quickly in green color.
3. 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 charged, it will have approximately 50% of the power of a fully charged battery at normal operating temperature.

1. 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.
2. If a fully charged battery pack is inserted into the charger again, the charging lamp lights up. After several minutes, the charging lamp may flash quickly to indicate the charging is completed.

Ni-Cd Battery Pack

NOTE:

When you charge the battery pack for the first time, or after prolonged storage, charge it for about 24 hours to bring the battery up to full capacity.
