- Look for visible damage to the charger, cord, or plug.
- If damaged, do not use
3. Insert a Compatible Battery

Note: This can be done in the charger
6. Try a Different Battery
- If no lights appear or both LEDs flash:
* Remove and reinsert the battery.
* Try charging a different compatible battery. If the second battery works, the first may be defective.

- If both batteries show no lights or both LEDs flash then the charger may be defective.
