to 6 cells, or 7 to 12 cells—depending on the state of SW3. The yellow Range
LED CR2 is lit when SW3 is off.

For battery packs containing 6 or less cells, push-action range switch SW3 is set
to off (shaft fully extended). When off, the YELLOW Range indicator LED
CR2 will be lit. When SW3 is off the rotary range switch SW1 selects from 1 to
6 cells. Example: Rotary range switch SW1 is set to position 6 for a six-cell
battery pack, and SW3 would be off (CR2 lit).

For battery packs containing 7 or more cells, range switch SW3 must be on, or
depressed. Yellow Range LED CR2 will be extinguished when SW3 is on.
With SW3 on, the rotary switch SW1 selects from 7 (fully CCW at position 1) to
12 cells (fully CW, at position 6). Example: For a 9.6-volt battery pack
containing 8 cells switch SW3 would be set to on (CR1 not lit) and range switch
SW1 would be set to position 2.
