CHARGING
See Figures 1 - 2, page 8.
Battery packs are shipped in a low charge condition to
prevent possible problems. Therefore, you should charge
them before first use. If the charger does not charge your
battery pack under normal circumstances, return both the
battery pack and charger to your nearest repair center for
electrical check.
Charge time varies and is dependent upon the amp hour
capacity of battery pack.
 Turn the battery pack upside down so that the latch faces
up.
 Attach the charger to the battery pack by aligning the
raised ribs on the battery pack with the grooves in the
charger, then slide the charger onto the battery pack.
NOTE: The connection between the battery pack and
charger may feel slightly loose. This is normal and does
not indicate a problem.
 Press down on the charger to be sure contacts on
the battery pack engage properly with contacts in the
charger.
 The latch should snap into place to ensure charger is
correctly connected.
 Connect the power adaptor to a power source and then
the cable to the charger.
NOTE: Make sure the power supply is normal household
voltage, 120 volts, AC only, 60 Hz.
