When using the charger, always observe the safety regulations applicable in your country to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury. Read the following safety instructions before attempting to operate this product. Keep these instructions in a safe place! This charger is in accordance with the relevant safety regulations. To avoid danger, electric appliances must only be repaired by qualified technicians.

Fire hazard! Avoid metal short circuiting the contacts of a detached battery pack (e.g. keys carried in the same pocket as a battery pack).

- The battery fluid, a 25-30% solution of potassium hydroxide, can be harmful. In case of skin contact, flush immediately with water. Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar. In case of eye contact, rinse abundantly with clean water for at least 10 minutes. Consult a physician.

• Never attempt to open a battery pack for any reason.
• Use only chargers labelled "NiMH" or "NiMH + NiCd" to charge DeWALT NiMH battery packs.

Electrical safety

Make sure that the voltage of your charger corresponds to that of your mains.

Your DeWALT charger is double insulated in accordance with EN 60335; therefore no earth wire is required.

Mains plug replacement (U.K. & Ireland only)

• Should your mains plug need replacing and you are competent to do this, proceed as instructed below. If you are in doubt, contact an authorized DEWALT repair agent or a qualified electrician.
• Disconnect the plug from the supply.
• Cut off the plug and dispose of it safely; a plug with bared copper conductors is dangerous if engaged in a live socket outlet.
• Only fit 3 Amperes BS1363A approved plugs fitted with the correctly rated fuse (1).

- The cable wire colours, or a letter, will be marked at the connection points of most good quality plugs. Attach the wires to their respective points in the plug (see below). Brown is for Live (L) (2) and Blue is for Neutral (N) (4).

- Before replacing the top cover of the mains plug ensure that the cable restraint (3) is holding the outer sheath of the cable firmly and that the two leads are correctly fixed at the terminal screws.

1 2 3 4

Never use a light socket.

Never connect the live (L) or neutral (N) wires to the earth pin marked E or 12

Using an extension cable

An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use an approved extension cable suitable for the power input of your charger (see rating plate). The minimum conductor size is 0.5 mm^2 ; the maximum length is 30 m. When using a cable reel, always unwind the cable completely.

Instructions for use

Always observe the safety instructions and applicable regulations.

Charging the battery pack (fig. A)

When charging the battery pack for the first time, or after prolonged storage, it will only accept an 80% charge. After several charge and discharge cycles, the battery pack will attain full capacity. Always check the mains prior to charging the battery pack. If the mains is functioning but the battery pack does not charge, take your charger to an authorized DEWALT repair agent. Whilst charging, the charger and the battery pack may become warm to touch. This is a normal condition and does not indicate a problem.

Do not charge the battery pack at ambient temperatures < 4 °C or > 40 °C. Recommended charging temperature: approx. 24 °C.

- To charge the battery pack (7), press the latch (4) and open the cover on the back of the radio/charger. Insert the battery pack into the back of the radio/charger as shown, close the cover and plug in the radio/charger.

- Select the desired operating mode using the selector (2). The red charging indicator (6) will blink. After approx. 1 hour, it will stop blinking and remain on. The battery pack is now fully charged and the charger automatically switches to equalise mode. After approx. 4 hours, it will switch to maintenance charge mode. The battery pack can be removed at any time or left in the connected charger indefinitely.

- The red charging indicator flashes rapidly to indicate a charging problem. Reinsert the battery pack or try a new one. If the new pack also refuses to charge, have your charger tested by an authorized DEWALT repair agent.

- When plugged into power sources such as generators or sources that convert DC to AC, the red charging indicator may blink twice, switch off and repeat. This indicates a temporary problem of the power source. The charger will automatically switch back to normal operation.

Equalization mode

The equalization mode helps to maintain the optimum capacity of the battery pack. It is therefore recommended to use the equalization mode weekly or every 10 charge/discharge cycles.

• Charge the battery pack as described above.
• When the charging indicator stops blinking, leave the battery in the charger for approx. 4 hours.

Hot Pack Delay

When the charger detects a battery that is hot, it automatically starts a Hot Pack Delay, suspending charging until the battery has cooled.

After the battery has cooled, the charger automatically switches to the pack charging mode. This feature ensures maximum battery life. The red indicator (6) blinks long, then short while in the Hot Pack Delay mode.

Radio operation

Volume control (fig. A)

- Turn the volume control (1) to the desired level.

Mode selection (fig. A & B)

• Turn the mode selector (2) to the desired mode: AM, FM or FM stereo. The power light (9) will be lit.
• To switch the radio/charger off, turn the mode selector to the setting off.

Station selector (fig. A & B)

- Turn the station selector (3) to the desired frequency setting, which is indicated by the pointer (10).

In the FM stereo mode, the stereo indicator (8) will be lit in case of stereo reception.

Battery operation

The radio may be operated on battery power. The running time depends on the battery type and voltage.

Maintenance

Your DEWALT Charger has been designed to operate over a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper care and regular cleaning.

Cleaning

• Unplug the charger before cleaning the housing with a soft cloth.
• Keep the ventilation slots clear and regularly clean the housing with a soft cloth.

Environment

Battery pack

The long life battery pack must be recharged when it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs which were easily done before. At the end of its technical life, discard it with due care for our environment:

• Run the battery pack down completely, then remove it from the tool.
• NiCd and NiMH cells are recyclable. Take them to your dealer or a local recycling station. The collected battery packs will be recycled or disposed of properly.

Charger

At the end of its technical life, take your charger to an authorized DEWALT repair agent where it will be disposed of in an environmentally safe way.
