OPERATION
n After normal usage, a minimum of 1 hour of charging time
is required to fully recharge battery pack.
n The battery pack will become slightly warm to the
touch while charging. This is normal and does not
indicate a problem.
n Do not place the charger and battery pack in an area of
extreme heat or cold. They 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 100°F.
n When batteries become fully charged, unplug the
charger from power supply and remove the battery
pack.
CHARGING A HOT BATTERY PACK
When using the worklight continuously, the batteries in the
battery pack will become hot. You should let a hot battery
pack cool down for approximately 30 minutes before at-
tempting to recharge. When the battery pack becomes dis-
charged and is hot, this will cause the green LED to come on
instead of the red LED. After 30 minutes, reinsert the battery
pack in the charger. If the green LED continues to remain on,
return battery pack to your nearest Ryobi Authorized Service
Center for checking or replacing.
NOTE: This situation only occurs when continuous use of
the worklight causes the batteries to become hot. It does
not occur under normal circumstances. Refer to “CHARG-
ING A COOL BATTERY PACK” for normal recharging of
batteries. If the charger does not charge your battery pack
under normal circumstances, return both the battery pack
and charger to your nearest Ryobi Authorized Service Center
for electrical check.
