Introduction
Note: Battery charging stops when the temperature drops below 0°C or exceeds 40°C. It is
recommended to charge the battery at room temperature (18°C to 25°C) for optimal performance.
CHARGING THE BATTERY VIA CHARGER
Instead of direct charging with adapter, you may use a charger to charge the battery. However, the charging time may vary by working condition.
1) Connect the power supply cord to the power port located on the back of the charger.
2) Insert the battery to the end.
3) Confirm the lock bolt locks the battery certainly.
4) Connect the other end of the power cord to a suitable power outlet.
5) Once the power and battery are ready, the LED indicator lights.
6) After finishing charge, press down the lock bolt directly to pull out the battery.
