If the battery is not used for a prolonged period of time, the battery switches to standby mode.
To use again, the battery must be reactivated (recharged).
The charge status can be called up by pressing the button on the battery (see Fig 1). To do this,
the battery can remain in the battery-powered device, but it must be switched off at least 1
minute beforehand (otherwise the display will not be accurate). The number of glowing LEDs
indicates the charge status.
The basic principle is: If the battery-powered device does not function after the battery is
inserted, put the battery onto the charger for testing. The displays on the battery and charger
give information about the battery charge status.
At low temperatures, the work can be still be carried out with lower performance.
For best operational readiness, the batteries must be fully charged after use.
