O Power on or standby
Green, blinking Charge in progress
Green, steady on Charge complete
Red, steady on Battery or charger error
After charging, press the TEST button on the battery to check the battery
charge. The four built-in LEDs show the current status.
Cleaning
Before cleaning, separate the Charger from the power adapter and
battery. Disconnect the power adapter from the mains and mains cord.
Use a damp cloth and a mild detergent to clean the Charger and power
adapter. Do not use abrasives, solvents, or alcohol.
Troubleshooting
In case of an error, the LEDs in the Charger ash at a high rate to
indicate a possible battery problem. Insert a known good battery to
determine if the error is caused by the battery or by a defective Charger.
