CHARGING MODE SELECTION

This device is capable of charging up to four rechargeable batteries with a choice of two modes. Rechargeable batteries can be charged in any of the ports, both in normal mode and in Multi Mode. When the mode selector switch is o, batteries are charged in normal mode. When the switch is on, they are charged in Multi Mode. (Fig. 2) Mode selector switch Mode indicator lamp Fig. 2

English 000Book_UC18YTSL_US_metabo.indb 7 2019/03/28 15:40:53Mode Normal Multi Purpose To charge a number of batteries in sequence. To charge all batteries simultaneously. Charging method Charges in sequence from port numbers 1 to 4. Charges all batteries uniformly. Mode selector switch OFF ON Mode indicator lamp OFF

Normal Mode (Mode selector switch o) Rechargeable batteries are charged in the order of the port numbers (1→2→3→4). (Fig. 3) Battery charging port number Charge indicator lamp Fig. 3 The charge indicator lamp turns green when the corresponding rechargeable battery is fully charged, and the buzzer emits a beep to notify the user. The time taken to fully charge all batteries will be the total of the charging time for each battery. In the example shown in Table 1, the time taken to fully charge the battery in port number 2 will be the total time taken to charge the batteries in port numbers 1 and 2 (32 minutes + 52 minutes = 84 minutes). Tip Rechargeable batteries you wish to use soon should be inserted in order from port number 1. Multi Mode (Mode selector switch on) All batteries will be charged simultaneously. The charge indicator lamps turn green when all rechargeable batteries are fully charged, and the buzzer emits a beep to notify the user. In the example shown in Table 1, it will take 152 minutes to fully charge all four batteries simultaneously.

• Charging time will vary depending on the residual capacity of the batteries. General points applying to both modes ○ The battery currently being charged is the port indicated by the steady red illuminated charge indicator lamp. ○ Batteries that are hot immediately after being used or cold due to low-temperature conditions take longer to charge, so they are skipped and charged after the other batteries. ○ If charging is taking a long time, press the selector switch twice. This resets the charger, reassesses batteries that are either hot immediately after use or cold due to low-temperature conditions, and skips them before resuming charging. Normal mode ○ If a battery is inserted in a port with a lower number (i.e., higher priority) port while other batteries are being charged, charging of the newly inserted battery will start after the battery currently being charged has been fully charged. Multi mode ○ If rechargeable batteries are used before they are fully charged, the level of charging may vary from battery to battery. ○ Inserting a depleted battery into a vacant port while other batteries are being charged will increase the time taken to charge all the batteries.

Regarding electric discharge in case of new batteries, etc. As the internal chemical substance of new batteries and batteries that have not been used for an extended period is not activated, the electric discharge might be low when using them the rst and second time. This is a temporary phenomenon, and normal time required for recharging will be restored by recharging the batteries 2 – 3 times.

English 000Book_UC18YTSL_US_metabo.indb 12 2019/03/28 15:40:54How to make the batteries perform longer. ○ Recharge the batteries before they become completely exhausted. When you feel that the power of the tool becomes weaker, stop using the tool and recharge its battery. If you continue to use the tool and exhaust the electric current, the battery may be damaged and its life will become shorter. ○ Avoid recharging at high temperatures. A rechargeable battery will be hot immediately after use. If such a battery is recharged immediately after use, its internal chemical substance will deteriorate, and the battery life will be shortened. Leave the battery and recharge it after it has cooled for a while. CAUTION: ● If the battery is charged while it is heated because it has been left for a long time in a location subject to direct sunlight or because the battery has just been used, the charge indicator lamp of the charger lights for 0.3 seconds, does not light for 0.3 seconds (o for 0.3 seconds). The battery will not be recharged. In such a case, let the battery cool before charging. ● When the charge indicator lamp ickers (at 0.2-second intervals), check for and take out any foreign objects in the charger’s battery connector. If there are no foreign objects, it is probable that the battery or charger is malfunctioning. Take it to your authorized Service Center.
