generate a spark. This feature and the insulating plastic case provide
maximum operator safety.

Charger Description

The Omega Five Unit Charger supplies a well regulated, constant
current for optimal charging of all MSA battery packs displaying the
Omega (Ω) symbol. The charger senses a resistor built into every
Omega-compatible battery pack and adjusts its output current
accordingly. Correct charging current is assured for every Omega-
compatible battery pack.

Battery Descriptions

The Omega Five Unit Charger is only specified for use with MSA battery
packs displaying the Omega (Ω) symbol. The Omega symbol is located
near the charging jack on Omega-compatible battery packs.
Use with other battery packs or instruments can result in
damage to the battery charger, the battery pack, and the
instrument.
