Connecting the AC Power Supply

The CRG 1100 is powered by an AC input 100-240VAC/DC output
12V 1.5A power supply (p/n 50-14000-103), and a DC inter­connect cable.

1. Connect the DC inter-connect cable to the CRG 1100 and
then to the power supply.

2. Connect the power supply to the wall outlet.

Charging a Battery Pack

1. Turn the power switch to ON. The power light illuminates.

2. Insert the battery pack in any slot of the charger.

Battery pack

3. The trickle charging (CHG/TRK) light illuminates for that slot
to indicate charging.

4. Charging completes after about 10 hours. The CHG/TRK
light blinks when the battery pack is fully charged.

5. Remove the battery pack from the charger.

Only slot 4 includes a discharge function. For more information,
refer to the PDT 1100 Product Reference Guide (p/n 70-35864-xx).

Battery Pack Maintenance Cycling

If the battery pack begins to have a reduced operating time between
charges, it may be due to “memory effect”. This effect can be
eliminated or reduced by doing battery pack maintenance cycling,
which fully discharges and then recharges the battery pack.

1. Ensure that the power switch on the charger is OFF.

2. Insert a battery pack into slot 4.

3. Turn the power switch ON.

Quick Reference

4. The DIS CHG light illuminates to indicate the battery pack is
being discharged.

5. When the battery pack is fully discharged, charging begins au­tomatically. Discharging and charging completes after about
10 hours and 20 minutes.
