3.3.4.1 Chargers And Docking Stations
Important: FOR DETAILED INFORMATION about chargers and docking
stations, refer to Chapter 9: Peripheral Devices & Accessories
beginning on page 297.
For battery safety, refer to “Lithium Ion Battery Safety Precau-
tions” beginning on page XVIII.
Lithium Ion battery packs must be charged before use. These batteries can be
charged with a variety of chargers and docking stations. These include:
• Desktop Docking Station (Model WA4002-G1 for the WORKABOUT
PRO C & Model WA4102-G1 for the WORKABOUT PRO S)—operates
as both a charger and a docking station. Operating as a charger, both the
battery installed in the hand-held and a spare battery can be charged simul-
taneously.
• Quad Docking Station (Model #WA4004-G1)—can charge the battery of
up to four WORKABOUT PROs inserted in the docking station.
• Single Battery Charger (Model #WA3001-G1)—charges a single battery.
• Quad Battery Charger (Model #WA3004-G1)—charges up to four spare
Standard or High-Capacity WORKABOUT PRO battery packs.
It can take up to 5 hours to charge a battery. The WORKABOUT PRO intelligent
charging system protects the battery from over-charging by terminating the charge
process when the battery is at maximum capacity.
Note: Refer to “Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run Time” on page 39
for additional information about the battery.
Important: To avoid damaging the battery, chargers will not begin the charge
process until the battery temperature is between 0° C to 45 °C
(32° F to 113° F).
