When first plugged in, the charger runs through a selfdiagnostic test, lighting the LEDs in sequence, then charging will begin.
During charging the middle GREEN LED will be on.
When charging is complete the GREEN - 100% - LED will
turn on.
NOTE: The time required to fully charge the battery will
depend on the discharge state of the battery at the
time charging is started. If fully discharged, the battery/charger combination is rated to fully charge the
battery in approximately 5 hours.
If the AMBER LED comes on and stays on after charging
startup, this indicates a problem in the charging circuit,
i.e. faulty battery, loose terminal or charge circuit connection or interrupted charging cycle. Unplugging and
replugging the AC cord may correct this if the charging
cycle was interupted, if not the machine will require servicing by a qualified technician.
