Operation - VOLTCRAFT V-CHARGE 100 DUO Notice D'emploi

switch (FI circuit breaker) so that the mains socket is separated from the mains
voltage on all poles). Only then unplug the mains plug of the mains cable from the
mains socket.
If the charger is operated via the DC input (11 - 18 V/DC), disconnect the charger
from the voltage/power supply.
Then disconnect the connected rechargeable battery from the charger. Do not use
the charger again - bring it to a specialist workshop.
d) Operation
• The charger may be operated either via the mains voltage (100 - 240 V/AC, 50/60
Hz) or via a stabilised direct voltage of 11 - 18 V/DC (e.g. via an external vehicle
lead battery or a suitable mains adapter).
Use only one of the two connection types, but never both at once. This may damage
the charger.
• Do not wear any metal or conductive materials, such as jewellery (necklaces, brace-
lets, rings, etc.) while you are working with the charger or batteries. A short-circuit at
the rechargeable battery or charging cable poses a danger of burns and explosion.
• Never leave the product unattended while operating. Despite a considerable num-
ber of protective circuits, it is impossible to exclude the possibility of malfunctions or
problems during the charging process.
• Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation during operation. Never cover up the
charger. Leave enough of a distance (at least 20 cm) between charger and other
objects. Overheating causes a danger of fire!
• The charger must only be used to charge (or discharge) rechargeable batteries
of types NiMH, NiCd, LiIon/LiPo/LiFe and lead batteries. Never charge any other
rechargeable battery types or non-rechargeable batteries. There is great danger of
fire or explosion!
• Always connect the charging cable to the charger first. Only then must the recharge-
able battery be connected to the charging cable.
When disconnecting, proceed in reverse order - first disconnect the rechargeable
battery from the charging cable, then the charging cable from the charger.
If the order is chosen incorrectly, there may be a short-circuit of the charger plugs;
there is a danger of fire and explosion!
• Only operate the product in moderate climate, never in tropical climate. For more
information on acceptable environmental conditions, see the chapter "Technical
Data".
