Table 1 -- Battery Run Time, at 20 ± 50C [68 ± 90F]

The state of the Battery Pack can be determined by observing the number and color of the Status LEDs on the end of the Battery Pack. The four LEDs indicate the remaining energy left in the battery, or the state of the battery during charging. Refer to Table 2 for how to read the Battery Pack Charge Status. To determine the charge status of the Battery Pack,

1. Momentarily press and release the Self Test Button on the Battery Pack. 2. Read the (4) status LEDs, and refer to Table 2. The Status LEDs will stay on for (30) seconds and then shut off. Re-press the Self Test Button if necessary.

WARNING WARNING – READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to follow these instructions may result in electric shock, fire, personal injury, or damage to the Battery Pack.

• To charge the Battery Pack, only use the Case Work Light Charger.

• Never dispose of the Battery Pack with other waste. It contains Lithium Cells.

• Do not burn or incinerate the Battery Pack. It could give off toxic fumes or explode.

• The Battery Pack is designed to only power the Case Work Light.

• Do not open the Battery Pack. There are no serviceable parts.

• For optimum performance, the battery charging is designed to be performed at room temperature.

• Never attempt to charge other battery types, with the Charger.

• Avoid charging the Battery Pack in dangerous environments. Do not charge in the presence of explosive atmospheres (gaseous fumes, dust or flammable materials) because sparks may be generated when connecting or disconnecting the Battery Pack and could cause a fire or explosion.

A Battery Pack has four (4) LED indicators to indicate the state of charge or discharge. The table indicates the LED charge percentages as of the publishing of this Instruction Manual. The LED indicator thresholds are being redesigned and simplified to indicate just four states, i.e., 100%, 75%, 50% and 25% Charge.

Ignore the YELLOW and RED LEDs and any FLASHING LEDs. The Battery Packs are entirely functional. The important thresholds to focus on are:

Four (4) GREEN LEDs Above 90% Charge Three (3) GREEN LEDs Greater Than 65% Charge Two (2) GREEN LEDs Greater Than 40% Charge One (1) GREEN LED Greater Than 15% Charge NO LEDs lit Zero (0) to Less Than 5% Charge

BATTERY RUN TIME & CHARGING (CONTINUED)

CHARGING A BATTERY PACK

Battery Packs are ideally charged indoors and at room temperature. However, the Charger is capable of operating at -20 to +60ºC (-4 to +140ºF).Depending upon the Battery Pack state, charging could up to (6) hours. Note: New Battery Packs must be charged before first use.

1. Connect the 120VAC Power Cord to the Charger.

2. Connect the other end of the 120VAC power cord to the AC source. (120VAC, 60 Hz)

3. On the Charger, verify the CHARGER STATUS LED is lit, and GREEN in color.

4. Connect the cord from the Charger to the Battery Pack. The connector is keyed and will only mate one way. Secure the connector plug by rotating the Battery Pack collar Clockwise.

5. The battery is now charging. Read the CHARGER STATUS LED on the Charger. GREEN – No battery hooked up, OR fully charged RED – Battery Pack is charging

6. When the Battery Pack is connected to the Charger, the Battery Pack Charge Status LEDs on the Battery Pack will illuminate and indicate charging status. Refer to Table 2 to read the status. The Charging/ Discharging percentages shown in Table 2 are approximate.

7. When charging is complete, the (4) LEDs will be GREEN on the Battery Pack. Disconnect the Battery Pack from the Charger by rotating the collar on the connector Counterclockwise.

8. Disconnect the Charger from the 120VAC source.
