Operations

Note

New battery packs reach their full capacity
after approx. 5 charging and discharging
cycles.
Recharge battery packs again if they have
not been used for a long time.
The performance of the battery pack reduc­es when temperature falls below –10 °C.
Storage for a long time at temperatures
above 40 °C can reduce the capacity of a
battery pack.

Î Insert the plug into the socket.
– The device conducts a self-test. Both

the LEDs glow for 1 second. The device
then goes into the stand-by mode: both
LEDs get switched off.

Î Slide the batter pack on the battery

holder of the charger.

– The battery pack will be charged auto-

matically; the green LED blinks.

– If the battery pack is too hot or too cold,

the red LED glows. The charging proc­ess starts when the battery pack has
reached the correct charging tempera­ture (5 °C ... 45 °C).

– When the battery pack is fully charged,

the green LED glows. The charger auto­matically switches to retention charging.

Î Remove the battery pack and insert it in
