Grounding Instructions; Hot/Cold Pack Delay - DeWalt DCR017 Original Instruction

EN GLI SH
• The DCR017 charger/radio is designed
to operate on standard 230 V household
electrical power. Do not attempt to use it on
any other voltage. This does not apply to the
vehicular charger.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Grounding Instructions

The DCR017 (230 V) charger/radio must be
grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
The charger/radio is equipped with a cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER: Improper connection of the
equipment-grounding conductor can
result in a risk of electric shock. The
conductor with insulation having an
outer surface that is green with yellow
stripes is the equipment-grounding
conductor. If repair or replacement of
the cord or plug is necessary, do not
connect the equipment-grounding
conductor to a live terminal. Repairs
shall only be performed by a D
service agent. Do not modify the plug
provided with the charger/radio – if it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a D WALT repair agent.

Charging Procedure (fi g. 3)
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate 230 V
outlet before inserting the battery pack.
2. Insert the battery pack (s) into the charger,
making sure the pack is fully seated in the
charger. The red (charging) light will blink
continuously indicating that the charging
process has started.
3. The completion of charge will be indicated by
the red light remaining ON continuously. The
pack is fully charged and may be used at this
time or left in the charger.
NOTE: To ensure maximum performance and life of
Li-Ion batteries, charge the battery pack fully before
first use.
Charging Process (Fig. 1)
Refer to the table below for the state of charge of
the battery pack.
The charge indicator light (o) will indicate the state of
charge of the battery pack, when a battery is being
charged.

This charger will not charge a faulty battery pack.
The charger will indicate faulty battery by refusing to
light or by displaying problem pack or charger blink
pattern.
NOTE: This could also mean a problem with a
charger.
If the charger indicates a problem, take the charger
and battery pack to be tested at an authorised
DCR017-GB
service centre.
Hot/Cold Pack Delay
When the charger detects a battery that is too hot
or too cold, it automatically starts a hot/cold pack
delay, suspending charging until the battery has
reached an appropriate temperature. The charger
then automatically switches to the pack charging
mode. This feature ensures maximum battery life.
XR Li-Ion tools are designed with an Electronic
Protection System that will protect the battery
against overloading, overheating or deep discharge.
