Charger

1. Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. Do not use the original charger on other Li-lon batteries or on any other type of battery as this can increase the risk of fire or explosion.

2. Check the battery charger, cable, and plug before each use. Do not use the battery charger if damaged. Do not open the battery charger yourself; charger must be repaired by qualified personnel using original spare parts.

3. The charger is designed to use a standard household 120- 240 V~ 50Hz power source, ensure that the plug matches the outlet.

4. Never modify the plug in any way, this will reduce the risk of electric shock.

5. Do not mis-use the charger cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the charger. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

6. Make sure the charger cord is situated so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over or get damaged.

7. Keep the battery charger clean. Contamination can increase the risk of electric shock.

8. Protect the battery charger from rain and moisture. If water accesses the battery charger there is an increased risk of electric shock.

9. Battery will heat up whilst charging. To reduce the risk of fire, do not operate battery charger on flammable surfaces such as paper or textiles.

10. The temperature range over which the battery pack can be charged is typically between 5ºC-
    45 ºC. Attempts to charge out with the prescribed temperature range may automatically be blocked by the protection circuitry of the battery pack. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery pack is charged at room temperature.

11. Disconnect charger from the power supply when not in use. This will reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the charger.

Battery pack

1. Fully charge battery pack before first use.
2. Recharge battery pack immediately when the power output starts to slow. DO NOT CONTINUE TO USE PRODUCT WHEN BATTERY LEVEL IS LOW.
3. To prevent serious damage to the battery, charge in temperatures above 5ºC or below 45ºC. Longest life and best performance can be achieved when battery is charged at room temperature.
4. If the battery temperature is above 45ºC it must be allowed to cool before putting it into the charging station.
5. To reduce the risk of explosion, ensure the battery pack is not left in the sun for extended periods of time and that it is kept away from fire.
6. Do not carry individual battery packs in your pockets or bag as they could short-circuit against other metal items.
7. Should a Li-lon battery catch fire, ensure to use the correct fire extinguisher to combat the fire. DO NOT THROW WATER ON A BURNING LI-ION BATTERY.
8. If the battery pack becomes too hot during charging, disconnect and switch off immediately. Contact the service centre directly.
9. Do not attempt to open the battery yourself.
10. When battery pack is not in use keep it away from other metal objects such as paperclips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another.
