User's Manual

Connect the wire plug of the battery pack to the wire plug of the
charger. Please note the shape of the connectors- they should fit
together in one way only. The male and female metal terminals
inside the plastic connectors must be properly aligned- DO NOT
FORCE! An incorrect connection will result in damage to the
battery pack and charger, and could result in a fire.
NOTE: The battery pack has 4 wires, but the charger has only 2.
Plug the charger into a standard 110/120V electrical outlet.
Charge for approximately 14 hours for the first charge.
Subsequent recharges only require 10 hours.
Unplug the charger from the outlet and detach the wire plug
connectors.
NOTE: Do not pull on wires, as they may come loose from the
plug connectors.
