▪ When disposing of batteries, follow the instructions given in the section “Protecting the
environment”.
▪ Do not cause short circuits. If connection is made between the positive (+) and negative (-)
terminal directly or via accidental contact with metallic objects, the battery is short circuited
and an intense current will flow causing heat generation which may lead to casing rupture
or fire.
▪ Do not heat. If batteries are heated to above 100 °C, sealing and insulating separators
and other polymer components may be damaged resulting in electrolyte leakage and/or
internal short circuiting leading to heat generation causing rupture or file. Moreover do not
dispose of the batteries in fire, explosion and/or intense burning may result.
▪ Under extreme conditions, battery leakage may occur. When you notice liquid on the
battery, proceed as follows:
− Carefully wipe the liquid off using a cloth. Avoid skin contact.
− In case of skin or eye contact, follow the instructions below:
✓ Immediately rinse with water. Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or
vinegar.
✓ In case of eye contact, rinse abundantly with clean water for at least 10 minutes.
Consult a physician.
Fire hazard! Avoid short-circuiting the contacts of a detached battery. Do
not incinerate the battery.
7.2 Chargers
▪ Never attempt to charge non-rechargeable batteries.
▪ Have defective cords replaced immediately.
▪ Do not expose to water.
▪ Do not open the charger.
▪ Do not probe the charger.
▪ The charger is intended for indoor use only.
8 CHARGING AND INSERTION OR REMOVAL OF BATTERY
8.1 Charger indications (Fig. 1)
Connect the charger to the power outlet socket
▪ Steady red light: charger has been plugged in
▪ Steady red light and flashing green light: battery is charging
▪ Steady red light and steady green light: battery is completely charged
▪ Flashing red light: battery pack is too hot. Let the battery pack cool down for approximately
30 minutes before attempting to recharge.
▪ Red light an green light flashing alternatively: battery pack is defective and needs to be
replaced.
▪ NOTE: if you are getting a “defective” indication, remove and reinstall the battery in the
charger. If the lights status still shows defective, try charging a different battery. If a
different battery charges normally, dispose of the defective battery. If a different battery
also indicates “defective” the charger may be defective.
Note: if the battery does not fit properly, disconnect it and confirm that the
battery pack is the correct model for this charger as shown on the
specification chart. Do not charge any other battery pack or any battery
pack that does not securely fit the charger.
1. Frequently monitor the charger and battery pack while connected
2. Unplug the charger and disconnect it from the battery pack when finished.
