Battery Charger Safety

• To reduce risk of injury, charge only

batteries or batteries indicated in specifi-
cations. Other types of batteries, including
non-rechargeable batteries, may burst caus-
®
ing injury to persons and damage.
• Charger is for indoor use only.
• Charge Li-Ion batteries at ambient tem-
peratures specified in the instructions.
Charging at low or high ambient tempera-
tures (i.e. below 32°F (0°c) or above (113°F
(45°C)) increases the risk of battery leak-
age, electrical shock or fire.
• Properly insert battery into charger. Bat-
tery polarity must match charger output
polarity to reduce risk.
