Do not place the charger in an area of extreme heat or
cold. It will work best at normal room temperature.
NOTE: The charger and battery pack should be placed in
a location where the temperature is more than 50°F but
less than 96°F.
The battery pack may become slightly warm to the touch
while charging. This is normal and does not indicate a
problem.
After charging is complete, the green LED will remain on
until the battery pack is removed from the radio/charger
or charger is disconnected from the power supply.
NOTE: Always remove the battery pack from the radio/
charger before unplugging the unit from a power source,
or before plugging the unit into a power source.

latches and pull up on the battery pack.
When the battery pack is fully charged, remove it from
the charger.
OPERATION
CHARGING A HOT BATTERY PACK
When using a tool continuously, the battery pack may
become hot. A hot battery pack may be placed directly onto
the charger port but charging will not begin until the battery
temperature cools to within acceptable temperature range.
When a hot battery pack is placed on the charger, the red
LED will begin flashing and the green LED will be off. When
the battery pack cools to approximately 120°F (40°C), the
charger will automatically begin charging.
CHARGING A COLD BATTERY PACK
A cold battery pack may be placed directly onto the charger
port but charging will not begin until the battery temperature
warms to within acceptable temperature range. When a cold
battery pack is placed on the charger, the red LED will begin
flashing and the green LED will be off. When the battery
pack warms to approximately 32°F (0°C), the charger will
automatically begin charging.
