4. CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
When the red light goes off and green light comes on, the battery is fully charged.
Sometimes when the battery is inserted soon after being used, the red charger light may not come on. If this happens, let the
battery cool off for a while. Then reinsert the battery and try to charge it once again. If you wish to charge two battery packs,
allow 15 minutes between charging of the battery packs.
There are three lights on the charger: green, red, and yellow.
1. Flashing red light: preliminary charging stage (low voltage) which lasts a maximum of three minutes.
Flashing red light and yellow light on: if this lasts a long time, it means the battery pack has a short circuit and needs to
be examined by an authorised RYOBI SERVICE CENTRE.
2. Red light on: fast charging stage.
3. Green light on: battery fully charged.
HOW TO CHARGE A BATTERY PACK
1. To charge a battery pack, always use the charger provided.
2. Make sure that the power supply is normal household voltage, i.e. 230V-240V, 50Hz AC.
3. Connect the charger to the power supply.
4. Insert the battery pack on the charger then slide it in. See Figure 2.
5. The red light should come on. The red light indicates the fast charging mode.
If the red light is flashing, this indicates that the battery pack is very run down or hot. If battery pack is hot, the red light
should stop flashing and become steady once the battery pack has cooled down.
If the battery pack is very run down, the red light should become steady once the voltage has increased, normally within
30 minutes.
If after one hour the red light is still flashing, this indicates that the battery pack is defective and should be replaced.
When the green light comes on, the battery pack is fully charged.
If the yellow light is on and the red light is flashing, this means that the battery pack is defective. Return the battery pack
to your nearest RYOBI SERVICE CENTRE for checking or replacement.
6. When your battery pack becomes fully charged, the red light will go off and the green light will come on.
7. If you remove the battery pack from the charger and reinsert it immediately (within less than 5 seconds) into the charger,
the green light will come on indicating a full charge.
If you remove the battery pack from the charger and wait more than 5 seconds before reinserting it in the charger,
the charger will function normally.
8. After normal use, it takes about 1 hour of charging time for the battery to be fully charged and 1 1/2 hours if the battery
was really run down.
9. The battery pack will become slightly warm to the touch while charging. This is normal and does not indicate a problem.
10. DO NOT place the charger in an extremely hot or cold place. It will work best at normal room temperature.
WARNING !
When moving the charger suddenly from a low temperature location to high temperature location, check whether moisture
has formed on the unit. If moisture has formed, allow the charger to sit for 1 to 2 hours with the plug disconnected from the
outlet before using it.
