Charge Indicators

This charger is designed to detect certain problems that can arise.
Problems are indicated by the red light flashing at a fast rate. If this
occurs, remove and then reinsert the battery pack into the charger.
If the problem persists, try a different battery pack to determine if the
charger is working properly. If the new pack charges correctly, then the
original pack is defective and should be returned to a service center
FIG. 1
or other collection site for recycling. If the new battery pack elicits the
F
same trouble indication as the original, have the charger and the battery
pack tested at an authorized service center.
Hot/CoLD DeLay
This charger has a hot/cold delay feature: when the charger detects a
battery that is hot, it automatically starts a delay, suspending charging
until the battery has cooled. After the battery has cooled, the charger
automatically switches to the pack charging mode. This feature
ensures maximum battery life. The red light flashes long, then short
while in the hot/cold delay mode.
