Charging
Your new battery cartridge is not charged.

the fast charger Model DC1201
to
charge
the battery cartridge.
Plug the fast charger into the proper
NC
voltage source. The charging light will flash
in green colour.
Insert the battery cartridge
so
that the plus
and minus terminals on the battery cartridge
are on the same sides as the$ respective markings on the fast charger. Insert the cartridge
fully into the port
so
that it rests on the charger port floor.
When the battery cartridge is inserted, the charging light colour will change from green
to
red and charging will begin. The charging light will remain
lit
steadily during charging.
When charging is completed, the charging light colour will change from red
to
green and a
tone will sound steadily for about
5
seconds. The charging time is approximately one hour.
After charging, unplug the charger from the power source.
CAUTION:

other purposes or for other manufacturer's batteries.
When you charge a new battery cartridge or a battery cartridge which has not been used for
a long period of time, it may
not
accept a full charge. This is a normal condition and does not
indicate a problem. You can recharge the battery cartridge fully after discharging it completely
and recharging a couple of times.
If
you charge a battery cartridge from a just-operated
tool
or a battery cartridge which has
been left in a location exposed
to
direct sunlight or heat for a long time, the charging light
may flash in red colour.
If
this occurs, wait for a while. Charging will begin after the battery
cartridge cools, The battery cartridge will cool faster
if
you remove the battery cartridge
from the fast charger.
If
the charging light flashes alternately in green and red colour and a tone sounds 'beep,
beep, beep,
..."
for about 20 seconds, a problem exists and charging is not possible: The
terminals on the charger or battery cartridge are clogged with dust or the battery cartridge
is worn out or damaged.
If
you wish
to
charge twg battery cartridges. allow 15 minutes between chargings on the fast
charger.
