LED FUNCTIONS OF CHARGER

LED WILL BE ON TO INDICATE STATUS OF

CHARGER AND BA'rrERY PACK:

• Red LED on = Fast charging mode.

• Green LED on = Fully charged and in maintenance charge mode.

• Green LED on = When battery pack is inserted into charger, indicates hot battery pack or that battery pack is out of normal temperature range.

• Yellow and Green LEDs on = Deeply discharged or defective battery pack.

• No LED on = Defective charger or battery pack.

CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK

The battery pack for this worklight has been shipped in a low charge condition to prevent possible problems. Therefore, you should charge it until the green LED on the front of the charger comes on.

NOTE: Batteries will not reach full charge the first time they are charged. Allow several cycles (operation followed by recharging) for them to become fully charged.

CHARGING A COOL BATTERY PACK

If battery pack is below normal temperature range, the green LED on charger will come on. Allow battery pack to reach normal temperature, then the red LED will come on.

NOTE: If the charger does not charge the battery pack

under normal circumstances, return both the battery pack and charger to your nearest Sears Repair Center for electrical check.

• Charge the battery pack only with the charger provided.

• Make sure the power supply is normal household voltage, 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only,
