is connected to the AC
power source and turn itself
OFF when the batteries are
fully charged. Refer to the data plate on the charger for
the voltage and type power required for the charger.
Thereisa seriesof LED’sonthe faceplateof the charger
that serve two functions:
1. Status of charge. The LED’s will display an
approximate percent of charge during the
charging cycle. Refer to the table below.
2. Error condition. All three
