A-1 WARNINGS AND SAFETY NOTES
• This product isn't designed for use by children under the age of 14, it isn't a toy! This appliance is
not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should
be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• Protect the charger from dust, damp, rain, heat (e.g. direct sunshine) and vibration. It should only be
operated in dry indoor conditions.
• The case slots serve to cool the charger, and must not be covered or enclosed; set up the charger
with space round it, so that cooling air can circulate unhindered.
• The charger is designed to be powered by a 110~240V AC main socket only. It is not permissible to
modify the charger in any way. You must not connect AC power to the DC input.
• The charger and the battery to be charged should be set up on a heat-resistant, non-inflammable
and non-conductive surface before use. Never place the charger directly on a car seat, carpet or
similar. Keep all inflammable and volatile materials well away from the charging area. Provide good
ventilation. Defective batteries can explode or burn!
• The charge output sockets and connecting leads must not be modified, and must not be inter-
connected in any way. There is a danger of short-circuit between the charge outputs and the
vehicle's bodywork when the charger is connected to the car battery. The charge leads and
connecting leads must not be coiled up when the charger is in use. Avoid short-circuiting the charge
output or the model battery with the car bodywork. For this reason the charger must never be placed
directly on the vehicle's bodywork.
• Never leave the charger running or connected to the car battery unsupervised.
• Only one battery may be connected at each output at any one time.
• The following types of battery must not be connected to the charger:
- Ni-Cd / Ni-MH batteries consisting of more than 10 cells, lead-acid batteries with a nominal voltage
of more than 12V or Lithium-Ion / Li-Mn / Lithium-Polymer / LiFePO 4 (LiFe) batteries.
- Batteries which require a different charge method from Ni-Cd, Ni-MH or lead-acid types.
- Faulty or damaged cells or batteries.
- Batteries consisting of parallel-wired cells, or cells of different types.
- Batteries consisting of old and new cells, or cells of different makes.
- Non-rechargeable batteries (dry cells). Caution: explosion hazard!
- Batteries which are not expressly stated by the manufacturer to be suitable for the currents which
this unit delivers during the charge process.
- Packs which are already fully charged or hot, or only partially discharged.
- Batteries or cells fitted with an integral charge circuit or charge termination circuit.
- Batteries installed in a device, or which are electrically connected to other components.
• To avoid short-circuits between the banana plugs fitted to the charge leads, please always connect
