Battery Cap Information
Battery storage and carrying caps are provided for use whenever the battery is out of
the tool or charger. Remove cap before placing battery in charger or tool.
WARNING: Do not store or carry battery so that metal objects can contact exposed
battery terminals. For example, do not place battery in aprons, pockets, tool boxes,
product kit boxes, drawers, etc. with loose nails, screws, keys, etc. without battery cap.
Transporting batteries can possibly cause fires if the battery terminals inadvertently
come in contact with conductive materials such as keys, coins, hand tools and the like.
The US Department of Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR) actually
prohibit transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes (i.e. packed in suitcases
and carryon luggage) UNLESS they are properly protected from short circuits. So
when transporting individual batteries, make sure that the battery terminals are
protected and well insulated from materials that could contact them and cause a short
circuit.

Charging the Power Pack
WARNING: Battery shall not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or
the like.
The radio charger is designed to use standard household 120 volt 60 Hz power.
1. Insert the plug of the power adaptor into the radio charger as shown in Figure B.
Insure that the charger plug is correctly aligned with the radio socket before
pushing to full depth.
2. Plug the power adaptor into any standard 120 Volt 60 Hz electrical outlet. NOTE:
Do not charge by means of an engine generator or DC power source. Use
only 120V AC.
3. Slide the power pack into the back of the unit as shown in Figure C. Make sure the
power pack is fully seated in the port and let the pack charge initially for 9 hours.
After the initial charge, under normal usage, your power pack should be fully
charged in 3 to 6 hours.
4. The amber charger light on the radio face (Figure D) will light indicating that the
charging process has started.
Important Charging Notes
1. After normal usage, your power pack should be fully charged in 3 to 6 hours. If the
pack is run-down completely, it may take up to 9 hours to become fully charged.
Your power pack was sent from the factory in an uncharged condition. Before
attempting to use it, it must be charged for at least 9 hours.
2. DO NOT charge the power pack in an air temperature below 40°F (4,5 °C) or
above 105°F (+40,5 °C). This is important and will prevent serious damage to the
power pack. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if power packs are
charged when air temperature is about 75°F.
3. While charging, the charger may hum and become warm to touch. This is a normal
condition and does not indicate a problem.
