Caution: Keep the AutoPulse Multi-Chemistry Battery Charger away from moisture.
Caution: Use the AutoPulse Multi-Chemistry Battery Charger only with a ZOLL AutoPulse Multi-
Chemistry Battery Charger Power Cord.
To prepare the AutoPulse Multi-Chemistry Battery Charger for use:
1. Plug the alternating current (AC) power cord into the power receptacle on the back of the AutoPulse
Multi-Chemistry Battery Charger.
2. Plug the AC power cord into an appropriate wall outlet receptacle.
3. When the AutoPulse Multi-Chemistry Battery Charger is powered on, all the LED’s illuminate
briefly as the Charger performs a self test.
Note: While the self test is being performed, if the indicator lights remain illuminated or if one of the
indicator lights fails to illuminate, contact ZOLL.
4. When the power indicator (green LED) on the AutoPulse Multi-Chemistry Battery Charger’s
Control Panel illuminates, the AutoPulse Multi-Chemistry Battery Charger is ready for use. (If the
green Power light on the Control Panel does not illuminate, read Section 7.2, “Replacing a
AutoPulse Multi-Chemistry Battery Charger Fuse”)

4.2 Operating the AutoPulse Multi-Chemistry Battery
Charger
The AutoPulse Multi-Chemistry Charger charges and maintains both the AutoPulse Li-Ion Battery and
the AutoPulse NiMH Battery.
To charge a Battery, follow these steps:
1. Slide the Battery into an available charging bay (see Figure 4-2). Make sure that the Battery locks
into place (locking bar engaged).
Caution: Remove the protective plastic cap from the Battery Connector before attempting to charge the
Battery.
Note: For optimal charging, make sure that the Battery is at room temperature before insertion into
the AutoPulse Multi-Chemistry Battery Charger.
Note: If a Li-Ion Battery's internal temperature is below a nominal 41ºF (5ºC), the Battery will fail to
charge in the Multi-Chemistry Battery Charger. If a Battery is retrieved from cold storage or
extensive exposure to cold weather, allow the Battery to warm to room temperature (may take
up to three hours) before insertion into the Charger.
