IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR RECHARGING
HOT BATTERY PACK
When using the light continuously, the batteries In the
battery pack will become hot. You should let a hot battery
pack cool down for approximately 30 minutes before
attempting to recharge. When the battery pack becomes
discharged and is hot, this will cause the green LED to
come on instead of the red LED. After 30 minties, reinsert
battery pack In charger. If green LED continues to remain
on, r^urn battery pack to your nearest Sears Repair
Center for checking or replacing.
Note: This situation only occurs when continuous use of
your light causes the batteries to become hot. It does not
occur under normal drrximstances. Refer to
“CHARGING
BATTERY PACK" for normal recharging of batteries. If
the charger does not charge the battery pad< under
normal circumstances, return both the battery pack and
charger to the nearest Sears Repair Center for electrical
check.
