English Chargers Be sure to read all safety instructions before using your charger. Consult the chart at the end of this manual for compatibility of chargers and battery packs. Charging a Battery (Fig. 2) 1. Plug the charger into an appropriate FIG. 2 C outlet before inserting battery pack. 2. Insert the battery pack (C) into the charger, making sure the battery pack is fully seated in the charger. M The red (charging) light will blink continuously indicating that the charging process has started. 3. The completion of charge will be indicated by the red light remaining ON continuously. The battery pack is fully charged and may be used at this time or left in the charger. To remove the battery pack from the charger, push the battery release button (M) on the battery pack. NOTE: To ensure maximum performance and life of lithium-ion battery packs, charge the battery pack fully before first use. Charger Operation Refer to the indicators below for the charge status of the battery pack. Charge indicators: DCB101 Charging Fully Charged Hot/Cold Pack Delay* Problem Pack or Charger Charge indicators: DCB107, DCB112, DCB113, DCB115, DCB118 Charging Fully Charged Hot/Cold Pack Delay* * DCB107, DCB112, DCB113, DCB115, DCB118: The red light will continue to blink, but a yellow indicator light will be illuminated during this operation. Once the battery pack has reached an appropriate temperature, the yellow light will turn off and the charger will resume the charging procedure. The compatible charger(s) will not charge a faulty battery pack. The charger will indicate faulty battery pack by refusing to light or by displaying a problem pack or charger blink pattern. NOTE: This could also mean a problem with a charger. If the charger indicates a problem, take the charger and battery pack to be tested at an authorized service center. HOT/COLD PACK DELAY When the charger detects a battery pack that is too hot or too cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack Delay, suspending charging until the battery pack has reached an appropriate temperature. The charger then automatically switches to the pack charging mode. This feature ensures maximum battery pack life. A cold battery pack will charge at a slower rate than a warm battery pack. The battery pack will charge at that slower rate throughout the entire charging cycle and will not return to maximum charge rate even if the battery pack warms. 9
