OPERATION

HOW TO CHARGE THE BATTERY PACK

WARNING: Do not use the charger outdoors or expose it to wet or damp conditions. Water entering the charger will increase the risk of electric shock.
NOTICE: Lithium-Ion battery packs are shipped partially charged. Before using it the first time, fully charge the battery pack.

1. Connect the charger to the power supply (120V~, 60Hz). The 5 charging indication LEDs will briefly shine green and turn out, indicating that the charger is working correctly.
2. Align the raised ribs of the battery pack with the battery-mounting slots in the charger; slide the battery pack down onto the charger (Fig. 3).
3. The charger will communicate with the battery pack to evaluate the condition of the battery pack.
4. When the battery pack is charging, the 5 LEDs on the charger will shine green in sequence, in clockwise direction, to indicate the charge level; please refer to Fig. 4. For BA1400, BA1400-FC, BA2800, BA2800-FC, BA4200 and BA4200-FC battery packs, the power indicator on the battery will flash in sequence: red, orange and green; for BA1400T, BA1400T-FC, BA2242T, BA2242T-FC, BA2800T, BA2800T-FC, BA3360T, BA3360T-FC, BA4200T, BA4200T-FC, BA4480T, BA4480T-FC, BA5600T, BA5600T-FC, BA6720T and BA6720T-FC battery packs, the last LED indicator on the battery will keep flashing green while the former LEDs shine solid green. The fan in the charger continuously works to cool the battery pack; when the battery pack is fully charged, the fan will stop working.

5. When the battery pack is fully charged, the charging indication LEDs on the charger will stop alternating and shine green continuously. The power indicator on the battery pack will go out. Wait until the cooling fan stops, remove the battery pack from the charger and disconnect the charger from the power supply.
6. The battery pack will fully charge if left on the charger, but it will not overcharge. If the battery pack remains on the charger for one month or more, it will perform self-maintenance and drop to 30% charge capacity. If this occurs, reinstall the battery pack on the charger to recharge it fully.

NOTICE:
◾ A significantly reduced run time after fully charging the battery pack indicates that the batteries are near the end of their usable life and must be replaced.
◾ The charger may warm during charging. This is part of the normal operation of the charger. Charge in a well-ventilated area.

LED FUNCTIONS OF CHARGER

CHARGING A HOT OR COLD BATTERY PACK

If the battery pack is out of the normal temperature range, LED 3# will shine RED. When the battery pack cools down to approximately 135°F (57°C) or warms to more than 37°F (3°C), the charger will automatically begin charging and the corresponding LEDs on the charger will sequence normally.

DEFECTIVE BATTERY PACK OR CHARGER
If the charger detects a problem, LED 3# will begin flashing RED or all the LEDs will turn off.

1. If registering as defective, remove and reinsert the battery pack in the charger.
   If the LEDs still read “defective” a second time, try charging a different battery pack.

2. If a different battery pack charges normally, dispose of the defective battery pack (refer to the instructions in the battery pack manual).

3. If a different battery pack also indicates “defective”, unplug the charger and wait until the flashing LED 3# goes out, then reconnect the charger plug to the power supply. If no charger LEDs shine green briefly simultaneously for self-inspection at the plugging moment or LED 3# on charger still display defective, the charger may be defective.
