The charger was designed to fast charge the battery only when the battery temperature is between 32˚F (0˚C) and 113˚F (45˚C). If the battery pack is too hot or too cold, the charger will not fast charge the battery. (This may happen if the battery pack is hot from heavy use). When the battery temperature returns to between 32˚F (0˚C) and 113˚F (45˚C), the charger will automatically begin charging. 2. A substantial drop in operating time per charge may mean that the battery pack is nearing the end of its life and should be replaced. 3. Remember to unplug charger during storage period. 4. If battery does not charge properly: a. Check for voltage at outlet by plugging in some other electrical device. b. Check to see if outlet is connected to a light switch which turns power "off" when lights are turned off. c. Check battery pack terminals for dirt. Clean with cotton swab and alcohol if necessary. d. If you still do not get proper charging, take or send tool, battery pack and charger to your local Bosch Service Center. See "Tools, Electric" in the Yellow Pages for names and addresses. Note: Use of chargers or battery packs not sold by Bosch will void the warranty. CHARGER INDICATORS, SYMBOLS AND MEANING (Model BC630) If the indicator lights are "OFF", the charger is not receiving power from power supply outlet. If the green indicator light is "ON", the charger is plugged in but the battery pack is not inserted, or the battery pack is fully charged. If the green indicator light is "BLINKING", the battery pack is being fast-charged. Fast-charging will automatically stop when the battery pack is fully charged. If the red indicator light is "ON", the battery pack is too hot or cold for fast-charging. The charger will automatically switch to fast-charging once a suitable temperature is reached. If the red indicator light is "BLINKING", the battery pack cannot accept a charge or the contacts of the charger or battery pack are contaminated. Clean the contacts of the charger or battery pack only as directed in these operating instructions or those supplied with your tool or battery pack. -11-
