BATTERY INFORMATION
Initial Use
New batteries are shipped from the
factory uncharged. Charge a new battery

(applies to Ni-CD, Ni-MH and Li-Ion batteries
charged with slow or rapid rate charger).
NOTE: The Indicator Light will turn GREEN
approximately one hour after battery is
placed in a Rapid Rate Charger; however, it is

best performance. Maximum battery capacity
is normally achieved after two or three full
charge / discharge cycles. If battery power
runs low, recharge the battery. Batteries that
are brand new or that have been stored for an
extended period of time (several weeks), may
