OPERATION
Always use a battery pack until it can
no longer provide the necessary pow-
er.
Cautions
:
This charger works only with 4.8-
volt, 7.2-volt and 9.6-volt nickel-
cadmium battery packs. Charging
other types of battery packs could
damage the battery packs.
Be sure the battery pack is rated at
4.8 V, 7.2 V, or 9.6 V.
Avoid charging fully-charged bat-
tery packs. Doing so can damage
the battery pack or cause it to lose
some of its storage capacity.
Charge battery packs only at room
temperature (65-80×F). Charging
battery packs in hot areas can per-
manently reduce the battery pack’s
power capacity.
To protect battery packs, allow
them to cool for 20 minutes before
recharging them.
Charge only one battery pack at a
time.
Follow these steps to charge a battery
pack.
1. Slide the battery connector of the
battery pack you want to charge
into the
CHARGING JACK
.
Warnin
g
: Connect or disconnect
the battery plug only when the AC
cord is disconnected. Otherwise,
arcing and burning might result.
Notes
:
If the connector does not fit, turn
it over and try again. Do not force
it.
If you want to charge a 4.8 volt
nickel-cadmium battery pack,
plug the small end of the sup-
plied adapter cord fully into the
battery pack’s connector. Then
plug the adapter cord’s large end
fully into the
CHARGING JACK
.
