PAIRING
For ﬁ rst connection to a Bluetooth device, Pairing must be performed.
Connecting
When the radio locates an already paired Bluetooth device, the name of the device will be shown on the radio’s display.
Devices connected to the USB port are supplied with power. Any device that uses more than 2,1 A of DC electrical current will trip a self-resetting function and disable the output.

Batteries for backup when the battery pack is removed.

Do not store the battery pack together with metal objects (short circuit risk).
Use only Milwaukee M12 System chargers for charging Milwaukee M12 System battery packs. Do not use battery packs from other systems.
Caution! The danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type.

The following battery packs can be charged with this charger:

Battery Cat→
No.
↓| Cell Type| DC Volts| Capacity| Cell No.
---|---|---|---|---
M12B| Li-Ion| 12 V| ≤ 1.5 Ah| 3
M12BX| Li-Ion| 12 V| ≤ 3.0 Ah| 2 x 3
M12B2| Li-Ion| 12 V| ≤ 2.0 Ah| 3
M12B3| Li-Ion| 12 V| ≤ 3.0 Ah| 3
M12B4| Li-Ion| 12 V| ≤ 4.0 Ah| 2 x 3
M12B6| Li-Ion| 12 V| ≤ 6.0 Ah| 2 x 3

Do not try to charge non-rechargeable batteries with this charger.
No metal parts must be allowed to enter the battery section of the charger (short circuit risk).
Caution!
Risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type;
– high or low extreme temperatures that a battery can be subjected to during use, storage, or transportation,
– low air pressure at high altitude,
– replacement of a battery with an incorrect type that can defeat a safeguard (for example in the case of some lithium battery types),
– disposal of a battery into ﬁ re or a hot oven, or mechanically crushing or cutting of a battery,
– or leaving a battery at an extremely high temperature in a surrounding environment that can result in an explosion or the leakage of ﬂammable liquid or gas,
– or a battery subjected to extremely low air pressure that may result in an explosion or the leakage of ﬂammable liquid or gas.
Never break open battery packs and chargers and store only in dry rooms. Keep dry at all times.
Do not touch the tool with conducting objects.
Never charge a damaged battery pack. Replace it with a new one.
Before use check the machine, cable, and plug for any damages or material fatigue. Repairs should only be carried out by authorized Service Agents.
This appliance is not intended to be used or cleaned by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or knowledge unless they have been given instructions concerning the safe use of the appliance by a person legally responsible for their safety.
They should be supervised whilst using the appliance.

EC-DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY
Hereby, Techtronic Industries GmbH declares that the radio equipment type M12 RC is in compliance with Directive 2014/53/EU. The full text of the EU declaration of conformity is available at the following internet address: http://services.milwaukeetool.eu.

MAINS CONNECTION

Connect only to single-phase a.c. current and only to the system voltage indicated on the rating plate. It is also possible to connect to sockets without an earthing contact as the design conforms to safety class II.

BATTERIES
Low Battery Indicator:
When the radio is powered by a battery pack and its charge falls below 10%, the low battery indicator is displayed.
Battery Pack Protection:
To protect the life of the battery pack, the radio will shut off when the battery’s charge becomes too low. If this happens, plug the radio charger into a mains connection and charge the battery pack.
Battery packs that have not been used for some time should be recharged before use.
Temperatures in excess of 50°C (122°F) reduce the performance of the battery pack. Avoid extended exposure to heat or sunshine (risk of overheating).
The contacts of chargers and battery packs must be kept clean.
For an optimum lifetime, after use, the battery packs have to be fully charged.
CHARGER CHARACTERISTICS
After inserting the battery into the reception of the charger the battery will automatically be charged (the red lamp is illuminated continuously)
When a hot or cold battery pack is inserted into the charger (ﬂashing red lamp), charging will begin automatically once the battery reaches the correct charging temperature (0°C…60°C).
Charging time varies depending on the battery temperature, charge needed and the type of battery pack being charged.
If both LEDs ﬂash at the same time, either the battery has not been completely mounted or there is a fault in the battery or the charger. For safety reasons, you must stop using the charger and battery immediately and have them inspected by a Milwaukee Customer Service Centre.
