IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

CHARGER SAFETY

1.  This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
2. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
3. Do not recharge ‘primary batteries’ (non-rechargeable batteries)
4. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS – THIS OPERATOR’S MANUAL CONTAINS IMPORTANT SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR MILWAUKEE ® LI-ION M18™ PACKOUT™ RADIO + CHARGER.
5. BEFORE USING, READ THIS OPERATOR’S MANUAL, YOUR BATTERY PACK OPERATOR’S MANUAL, AND ALL LABELS ON THE BATTERY PACK AND RADIO + CHARGER.
6. CAUTION- TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY, CHARGE MILWAUKEE ®LI-ION PACKS ONLY IN THEIR MILWAUKEE® LI-ION CHAR GER. Other types of chargers may cause personal injury or damage. The battery pack and charger aren’t compatible with V™-technology or NiCd systems. Do not wire a battery pack to a power supply plug or car cigarette lighter. Battery packs will be permanently disabled or damaged.
7. AVOID  DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not charge the battery pack in the rain, snow, damp or wet locations. Do not use a battery pack or charger in the presence of explosive atmospheres because sparks may be generated when inserting
8. CHARGE IN A WELL-VENTILATED AREA. Do not block charger vents. Keep them clear to allow proper ventilation. Do not allow smoking or open may explode.
9. MAINTAIN CHARGER CORD. When unplugging the charger, pull the plug rather than the cord to reduce the risk of damage to the electrical plug and cord. Never carry a charger by its cord. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges. Make sure the cord will not be stepped on, tripped over, or subjected to damage or stress. Do not use the charger with a damaged cord or plug. Have a damaged charger replaced immediately.
10. DO NOT SHORT CIRCUIT. A short-circuited product damage. A battery pack will short circuit if a metal object makes a connection between the positive and negative contacts on the battery pack. Do not place a battery pack near anything that may cause a  hort circuit, such as coins, keys or nails in your pocket.
11. DO NOT ALLOW FLUIDS TO FLOW INTO BATTERY PACK. as seawater, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach-containing products, etc., can cause a short circuit.
12. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD UNLESS IT IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. Using the wrong, damaged, or improperly wired extension cord could result in the risk of fire and electrical shock. Make sure that the extension cord is in good electrical condition.
13. USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ATTACHMENTS. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the battery charger or battery pack manufacturer may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury.
14. UNPLUG CHARGER when not in use. Remove battery packs from unplugged chargers.
15. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, always unplug the charger before cleaning or maintenance. Use a Residual Current Device (RCD) to reduce shock hazards.
16. STORE YOUR BATTERY PACK AND CHARGER in a cool, dry place. Do not store battery packs where temperatures may exceed 50°C (120°F) such as in direct sunlight, a vehicle, or a metal building during the summer? Disposal of a battery into fire or hot oven, or mechanically crushing or cutting of a battery, that can result in an explosion. Leaving a battery in an extremely high temperature surrounding environment can result in an explosion or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas. A battery subjected to extremely low air pressure may result in an explosion or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas.

CHARGER OPERATION

Charge only MILWAUKEE® M18TM Lithium-Ion battery packs in the MILWAUKEE® Li-lon Battery Charger. Other types of batteries may cause personal injury and dam­ age. The battery pack and charger are not compatible with VTm-technology or NiCd systems.

When to Charge MILWAUKEE® Li-Ion Battery Packs

Remove the battery pack from the tool for charging when convenient for you and your job. MILWAUKEE® batteries do not develop a “memory” when charged after only a partial discharge. It is not necessary to run down the battery pack before placing it on the charger.

• Use the Fuel Gauge to determine when to charge your MILWAUKEE® Li-Ion battery pack.
• You can “Top-Off’ your battery pack’s charge before starting a big job or a long day of use.

How to Charge the Battery Pack

Plug the Radio + Charger into a 230-240V outlet. The battery packs will not charge if the Radio + Charger is not plugged in. Place the battery pack onto the bay by sliding the pack on from the top of the bay. The red light will turn on, either flashing (the pack is too hot or cold) or continuous (the pack is charging).

• A fully discharged battery pack with an internal tem­perature in the normal range will charge in about 30 to 185 minutes, depending on the capacity of the battery pack.
• heavily cycled batteries may take longer to charge
• The Fuel Gauge lights on the battery pack are displayed as the pack is being charged, indicating how fully charged the pack is.
• After charging is complete, the continuous green light will turn on and the fuel gauge will turn off.
• The charger will keep the battery pack fully charged if it is left on the charger.
• If the light indicator flashes red and green, check that the battery pack is fully seated in the bay. Re­move the pack and reinsert. If the problem persists, contact a MILWAUKEE® service facility.
• If the light indicator does not come on, check that the battery pack is fully seated in the bay. Remove the pack and reinsert. If the light indicator still does not come on, contact a MILWAUKEE® service facility.

Charging a Hot or Cold Battery Pack

The Red Flashing Indicator light on the charger in­dicates that the battery pack temperature is outside the charging range. Once the battery pack is within the acceptable range, normal charging will take place and the red light will be continuous. Hot or cold bat­teries may take longer to charge.

MAINTENANCE

To reduce the risk of injury, always unplug the charger and remove the battery pack from the charger or tool before performing any maintenance. Never disassemble the tool, battery pack, or charger. Contact a MILWAUKEE® service facility for ALL repairs.

Maintenance and Storage

Store your charger in a cool, dry place. As a general practice, it is best to unplug battery chargers and remove battery packs when not in use. No battery pack damage will occur, however, if the charger and battery pack are left plugged in.

Changing Back-up Batteries

Batteries may leak chemicals or may explode if used incorrectly.
The following care should be taken to prevent such an incident:

• Make sure the positive (+) and negative (-) bat­ tery terminals are positioned correctly.
• Do not mix new and old batteries together, or mix different types of batteries.

If chemicals from the batteries come in contact with your skin, wash them off immediately with water. If chemicals leak onto the radio, clean the radio completely.

Choking hazard. Keep batteries away from children.

To hold station presets and clock time when the bat­tery pack is removed and the radio is unplugged, (2) AAA batteries are required.

1. Remove the battery pack and unplug the radio.
2. Remove the screw and battery cover.
3. Insert two (2) AAA batteries according to matching positive (+) and negative (-) marks.
4. Replace the battery cover and screw.
5. Always dispose of used batteries properly.

Cleaning

Clean out dust and debris from charger vents and electrical contacts by blowing with compressed air. Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the battery pack and charger, keeping away from all elec­trical contacts. Certain cleaning agents and solvents are harmful to plastics and other insulated parts. Some of these include gasoline, turpentine, lacquer thinner, paint thinner, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia, and household detergents containing am­monia. Never use flammable or combustible solvents around battery packs, chargers, or tools.

Repairs

For repairs, return the tool, battery pack, and charger to the nearest service center.

If the supply cord of this appliance is damaged, it must only be replaced by a repair shop appointed by the manufacturer, because special purpose tools are required.
