APPLICATIONS
You may use this product for the following purpose:
Charging RYOBI 18V Li-ion battery packs
NOTICE:
If charge does not appear to initiate or appears to stop
charging the battery pack before reaching full charge,
check that charger is properly plugged into a power
supply (outlet) and that the power supply is energized. If
so, try charging a different battery pack. If the different
battery pack charges properly, then return the battery
pack that did not charge properly. If a different battery
pack does not charge, return the charger and the battery
pack(s). Make returns to the nearest authorized service
center for service or replacement.
NOTICE:
Charge in a well-ventilated area. Do not block charger
vents. Keep them clear to allow proper ventilation.
KEY HOLE HANGER
See Figure 1, page 7.
To mount the charger, only use the key hole hanging fea-
ture. Screws should be installed so that the center distance
is 4-1/2 in.
CHARGING
See Figures 2 and 3, page 7.
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(s) under normal circumstances, return both the
battery pack(s) and charger to your nearest repair center for
electrical check.
This charger charges both battery packs at the same time or
one battery at a time. Charge time varies and is dependent
upon the amp hour capacity and charge level of the battery
pack(s).
 Make sure the power supply is normal household voltage,
120volts,AConly,60Hz.
 Connect the charger to a power supply.
 Attach the battery pack to the charger by aligning the
raised ribs on the battery pack with the grooves in the
charger, then insert the battery pack into the charger.
 Press down on the battery pack to be sure contacts on
the battery pack engage properly with contacts in the
charger. Latches should snap into place to ensure charger
is correctly connected.
