Charger Cleaning, Storage and Service
Cleaning
Unplug the charger from the power source before cleaning or removing debris from charging pockets.
Use only mild detergent with a slightly damp cloth to clean the outside of the charger. Do not use solvents or flammable
cleaners. Allow the case to dry fully before using again.
Do not allow cleaning agents of any kind to contact the charging contacts; they may be damaged. If necessary, clean them
with a soft-bristle, dry brush or compressed air.
Storage
Remove all batteries from the charging bays and disconnect AC power before placing the charger in storage. It should be
stored in a cool, dry place, protected from weather and airborne debris.
Battery packs should be kept in a cool, dry place whenever possible. Do not store battery packs in direct sunlight, on a
metal surface, or anywhere the battery pack cannot cool down. Do not leave the battery pack in a non-operating charger.
The battery pack may discharge through the charger rather than hold its charge.
Service
There are no user serviceable parts in the rechargeable Lithium Ion battery or the charger. Contact Technical Assistance
(page 16-1) should your charger require service.
LED is flashing RED at any
pocket.
The battery pack voltage has not
reached 6.0V within 30 minutes and
the charger has timed out.
Contact Technical Assistance (page 16-1) for battery
pack replacement options.
Solid YELLOW / AMBER LED
when battery pack is inserted
in the charging pocket.
The battery pack is too hot or too
cold to charge.
Remove battery pack from the charging pocket and allow
it to adjust to room temperature.
Note: If the battery pack is left in the charging pocket, it
will cool down or warm to a temperature upon
which the charger will begin the charge cycle.
However, depending on the temperature of the
battery, it may take 2-3 hours to adjust. The cool-
down / warm-up of a battery pack is much quicker
if the battery is not in the charging pocket.
