To charge the battery [ Fig. O1 / O2 / O3 ]:
CAUTION!
v
Note the mains voltage! The voltage of the power source must
match the voltage specified on the rating plate of the charger.
For the GARDENA Battery Trimmer Art. 14700-55 / 14701-55 there
is no battery and no charger in the scope of delivery.
Thanks to the intelligent charging process, the charge condition of the
battery is automatically detected and then charged up with the optimal
charge current depending on battery temperature and voltage.
In this way, the battery is treated with care and remains permanently fully
charged when it is stored in the charger.
1. Push the locking button
(A)
and remove the battery
(B)
from the battery
holder
(D)
.
2. Connect the battery charger
(C)
into a mains socket.
3. Slide the battery charger
(C)
.onto the battery
(B)
.
When the battery charge indicator
(Lc)
at the charger flashes green
the battery is being charged.
When the battery charge indicator
(Lc)
at the charger illuminates
permanently green the battery is completely charged
(Charging time, see 7. TECHNICAL DATA).
4. Examine the charge status regularly while you charge.
5. When the battery
(B)
is completely charged, you can disconnect the
battery
(B)
from the charger
(C)
.
Meaning of the Indication Elements:
Indication on the charger [ Fig. O3 ]:
Flashing of the Battery
Charge Indicator
(Lc)
The charging procedure is indicated by
flashing
of the battery charge
indicator
(Lc)
.
Note:
The charging procedure is only possible when the battery
temperature is within the allowable charging temperature range,
see 7. TECHNICAL DATA.
Continuous Lighting
of the Battery
Charge Indicator
(Lc)
Continuous lighting
of the battery charge indicator
(Lc)
indicates that
the battery is fully charged
or
that the temperature of the battery is
not within the allowable charging temperature range and can therefore
not be charged.
When the battery is not inserted,
continuous lighting
of the battery
charge indicator
(Lc)
indicates that the mains plug is inserted in the
socket outlet and that the battery charger is ready for operation.
Battery charge status indication
(P)
on the product [ Fig. O4 / O14 ]:
After starting the product, the battery charge status indication
(P)
is displayed for 5 seconds.
