RADIO SAFETY WARNINGS
Never disassemble or modify this apparatus in any way.
Do not use this apparatus near water.
Clean only with dry cloth. Certain cleaning agents and solvents are harmful to plastics
and other insulated parts. Keep the apparatus handle clean, dry and free of oil or
grease.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Do not install near any heat sources.
The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation openings with items,
such as newspapers, table-cloths, curtains, etc.
No flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the apparatus.
It shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that no objects filled with liquids,
such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.
Do not place the product in closed bookcases or racks without proper ventilation.
Where the mains plug is used as the disconnect device, the disconnect device shall
remain readily operable.
Do not stand on unit.
Warning! To reduce the risk of fire, personal injury, and product damage due to a
short circuit, never immerse your tool, battery pack or charger in fluid or allow a fluid to
flow inside them. Corrosive or conductive fluids, such as seawater, certain industrial
chemicals, and bleach or bleach containing products, etc., can cause a short circuit.
CHARGER SAFETY WARNINGS

Milwaukee Distributors offer to retrieve old batteries to protect our environment.
Do not store the battery pack together with metal objects (short circuit risk).
Use only Milwaukee M18 System chargers for charging Milwaukee M18 System
battery packs. Do not use battery packs from other systems.
Caution! Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the
same or equivalent type.

Caution!
Risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type;
- high or low extreme temperatures that a battery can be subjected to during use,
storage or transportation,
- low air pressure at high altitude,
- replacement of a battery with an incorrect type that can defeat a safeguard (for
example in the case of some lithium battery types),
- disposal of a battery into fire or a hot oven, or mechanically crushing or cutting of a
battery,
- or leaving a battery in an extremely high temperature surrounding environment that
can result in an explosion or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas,
- or a battery subjected to extremely low air pressure that may result in an explosion
or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas.
Never break open battery packs and chargers and store only in dry rooms. Keep dry
at all times.
Do not touch the tool with conducting objects.
Never charge a damaged battery pack. Replace by a new one.
Before use check machine, cable, and plug for any damages or material fatigue.
Repairs should only be carried out by authorised Service Agents.

BATTERIES
3 x 5
New battery packs reach full capacity after 4 - 5 chargings and dischargings. Battery
packs which have not been used for some time should be recharged before use.
Low Battery Indicator:
When the radio is powered by a battery pack and its charge falls below 10%, the low
battery indicator
is displayed.
Battery Pack Protection:
To protect the life of the battery pack, the radio will shut off when the battery's charge
becomes too low. If this happens, plug radio charger to a mains connection and
charge the battery pack.
CHARACTERISTICS
After inserting the battery into the reception of the charger the battery will
automatically be charged (red lamp is illuminated continuously)
When a hot or cold battery pack is inserted into the charger (flashing red lamp),
charging will begin automatically once the battery reaches the correct charging
temperature (0°C...60°C).
Charging time varies depending on the battery temperature, charge needed and the
type of battery pack being charged.
If both LEDs flash at the same time, either the battery has not been completely
mounted or there is a fault in the battery or the charger. For safety reasons you must
stop using the charger and battery immediately and have them inspected by an
Milwaukee Customer Service Centre.
BLUETOOTH
Pairing
