CHARGING THE BATTERY NOTE: When you charge the battery pack for the first time, or after prolonged storage, charge it for about 24 hours to bring the batteries up to full capacity. 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. 2. Insert the battery pack firmly into the charger. 3. 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 lit until the battery cools down. Charging will then begin automatically. 4. When charging is completed, the charg ing lamp will start flashing quickly in green color. 5. When in any of the conditions that battery pack is too cool, or the battery pack has not been used for a long time, the charging lamp is lit. In this case, charging takes longer to fully charge the battery pack, than the standard charging time. If a fully charged battery pack is inserted into the charger again, the charging lamp light up. After several minutes, the charging lamp may flash quickly to indicate the charging is completed. 6. If the charging lamp does not light imme diately after the charger is plugged in, or if after the standard charging time the lamp does not go off, consult an authorized dealer. NOTE: When charging a cool battery pack (below 5°C (41°F) in a warm place, leave the battery pack at the place and wait for more than one hour to warm up the battery to the level of the ambient temperature.
