1. Insert the plug end of the power cable into the DC power jack on the battery charger and the AC plug
into an outlet.
2. Insert battery into the bay.

4.2 Calibrating the Lithium-Ion Battery
In order to keep the battery fuel gauge as accurate as possible, it is necessary to run the pack through a
recalibration cycle on a quarterly basis. To do this, place the battery in the left bay of the charger and press the
button on the front label (see Figure 4-2). This will initiate the recalibration sequence in the left bay only. The
process can take up to nine hours to complete and a recommended recalibration should be done once a month to
keep the battery accurate.
