AC/DC Power Setup
Install either the AC adapter or the DC
power cord by inserting the charger
plug into the power port of the battery
charger and then rotating it a quarter
turn in either direction to lock it in
place.
If using AC power, connect the AC
power cord to the AC adapter, then
plug the adapter into an AC power
receptacle. If using DC power, plug
the DC power cord directly into the DC
power source. Once powered, the
LEDs on the battery charger will begin
to flash in succession and the charger
will emit a series of beeps.
Charging a Battery Pack
With the charger connected to a power source and the orange LED flashing, insert a battery
pack. The battery pack will be flush with the battery charger when it is properly inserted. The
charger will emit a long tone followed by four short beeps indicating an F Series battery pack
has been detected.
During normal charging, the orange and red LEDs will illuminate to indicate the battery pack
is undergoing a fast charge cycle. The battery pack is fully charged when the orange and
green LEDs flash alternately. The Battery Charger Status Indicators table below provides
more information.
Note F Series battery charger systems labeled for use with DCI Li-ion or
NiMH battery packs will also charge SE NiMH battery packs
(SBP), although the charging times, battery voltages, and
estimated battery lifetimes will be different from F Series Li-ion
battery packs.
Battery Charger Status Indicators
The battery charger has red, orange, and green LEDs that are on, off, or flashing depending
on the charging status. A series of beeps will also sound to indicate a major battery pack or
charger fault. The following table describes the charger or battery status indicated by the
various LEDs and audible signals.
