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. Insert the separate power cord into the input interface (Fig. B).
2. Connect the charger to the power supply (220-240V/50Hz).
3. Insert the battery plug into the charger as Fig. C & D shown.
4. The charger will communicate with the battery pack to evaluate the condition of the battery pack.
5. When the battery pack is charging normally, the green 2# LED on the charger will flash. If keep the green button pressed for at least 1 second, the normal charging will transform to rapid charging and green 2# LED goes out with green 1# LED flashing. The fan in the charger works continuously to cool the battery pack.
6. When the battery pack is fully charged, the charging indication LEDs stop blinking and will shine green continuously. Wait until the cooling fan stops, remove the battery pack from the charger and disconnect the charger from the power supply.
7. The battery pack will fully charge if left on the charger, but it will not overcharge.

NOTICE:

• While the charger is connected to a power supply in step1, if the 3 LEDs still remain unlit,refer to the section on “DEFECTIVE BATTERY PACK OR CHARGER”.
• A significantly reduced running 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, 3# LED will shine red. When the battery pack cools down to approximately 57°C or warms to more than 3°C, the charger will automatically begin charging.

DEFECTIVE BATTERY PACK OR CHARGER
Once the charger connects to a power supply, the charger will start self- inspection immediately.

1. If the self-inspection reaches a failure, all the LEDs will not blink or shine.
   Notice: Try and reinsert the power cord into the charger and power supply in sequence. If the LEDs still read “failure” a second time, contact the EGO center to repair your charger.

2. If the charger passes the inspection, 3 LEDs will shine for 1s simultaneously, which means the charger can be used to charge the battery pack. While charging, if the charger defects a problem, 3# LED will begin flashing red or all the LEDs will turn off.

   • If registering as defective, remove and reinsert the plug of battery pack into the charger. If the LEDs still read “defective” a second time, try charging a different battery pack.
   • If a different battery pack charges normally, dispose of the defective battery pack (refer to the instructions in the battery pack manual).
   • If a different battery pack also indicates “defective”, reconnect the charger to power supply again until the red 3# LED goes out. If all 3 LEDs still keep off or 3# LED flash red, the charger may be defective.
     WARNING: It is not recommended to attempt charging while the charger confirmed as a defective one, it can cause electric shock or even serious injury.

WALL-MOUNT HOLES
The charger has hanging holes for convenient storage. Install screws in the wall 76mm apart.
