Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before inserting the battery pack. 2. Insert the battery pack into the charger. (Fig. B) B 3. The LED will flash indicating that the battery is being charged. 4. The completion of charge is indicated by the LED remaining on continuously. The pack is fully charged and may be used at this time or left on the charger. CHARGER DIAGNOSTICS This charger is designed to detect certain problems that can arise with the battery packs or the power source. Problems are indicated by one LED flashing in different patterns. BAD BATTERY The charger can detect a weak or damaged battery. The LED flashes in the pattern indicated on the label. If you see this bad battery blink pattern, do not continue to charge the battery. Return it to a service center or a collection site for recycling. HOT/COLD PACK DELAY When the charger detects a battery that is excessively hot or excessively cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack Delay, suspending charging until the battery has normalized. After this happens, the charger automatically switches to the Pack Charging mode. This feature ensures maximum battery life. The light flashes in the pattern indicated on the label. PROBLEM POWER LINE When the charger is used with some portable power sources such as generators or sources that convert DC to AC, the charger may temporarily suspend operation. The LED flashes in the pattern indicated on the label. This indicates that the power source is out of limits. LEAVING THE BATTERY IN THE CHARGER The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the LED glowing indefinitely. The charger will keep the battery pack fresh and fully charged. This charger features an automatic tune-up mode which equals or balances the individual cells in the battery pack to allow it to function at peak capacity. Battery packs should be tuned up weekly or whenever the battery no longer delivers the same amount of work. To use the automatic tune-up mode, place the battery pack in the charger and leave it for at least 8 hours. IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES 1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery pack is charged when the air temperature is between 65°F and 75°F (18°- 24°C). DO NOT charge the battery pack in an air temperature below +40°F (+4.5°C), or above +105°F (+40.5°C). This is important and will prevent serious damage to the battery pack. 2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to touch while charging. This is a normal condition, and does not indicate a problem. To facilitate the cooling of the battery pack after use, avoid placing the charger or battery pack in a warm environment such as in a metal shed, or an uninsulated trailer. 8 90550107 PC1800ID, PC1200ID 4/1/09 9:33 AM Page 9 3.
