may cause an explosion.
NEVER use the charger when it is covered
•
by objects which impede heat dispersal.
• Place the charger in a secure place to

Recycling information (U.S.A. only)
The battery (BP-209/N or BP-222/N) that you have purchased is recyclable. At
the end of its life, under various state and local laws, it may be illegal to dispose of this battery into the municipal waste stream. Call 1-800-822-8837 for

In order to get the maximum life out of your
batteries:
1. Avoid overcharging— batteries must be
removed from the charger to stop charging. Batteries should not be charged for
more than 15 hours after the charging
indicator turns green.
2. Use the batteries until they become
almost completely exhausted under normal conditions.
If your batteries seem to have no capacity even after being fully charged, completely discharge them, then fully charge
them again. If they still do not retain a
charge (or very little), new batteries
must be purchased.
NOTE: The charger rapidly charges a
battery pack to a specified level, not a
completed level, to prevent over charging. Leave the battery pack in the charger for a few more hours (up to 15 hours;
depending on battery condition) after the
charging indicator turns green, to charge
the battery completely.
