Translation of the Original Instructions.
For your safety.
WARNING Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

**** Do not use this battery charger before you have thoroughly read and completely understood this Instruction, Manual. The documents mentioned should be kept for later use and enclosed with the battery charger, should it be passed on or sold.
Please also observe the relevant national industrial safety regulations.

Intended use of the battery chargers:
The battery chargers are intended for commercial use in trades, for charging and re-charging FEIN lithium-ion batteries with the following characteristics:

• FEIN Li-ion batteries with a capacity of 2.4 Ah (10.8 V / 14.4 V /18 V) cannot be charged.

Special safety instructions.

This charger can be used by children aged 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the safe use of the charger and understand the hazards involved. Children may not play with the charger. Cleaning and user maintenance may not be performed by children without supervision.
Keep the battery charger away from rain or moisture. The penetration of water into an electrical device increases the risk of an electric shock.
Do not operate the battery charger on easily inflammable surfaces or in combustible environments. The heating of the battery charger during the charging process can pose a  fire hazard.
Provide sufficient ventilation during operation. Do not operate the battery charger in enclosed cabinets or in close vicinity to heat sources. Ambient temperatures in excess of +45 °C can lead to malfunctions.
Do not charge non-rechargeable batteries.
Otherwise, there is a danger of fire and explosion.
Keep the battery charger clean. Contamination can lead to the danger of an electric shock.
Before each use, check the battery charger, cable, and plug. If damage is detected, do not use the battery charger. Never open the battery charger yourself, and have repairs carried out only by FEIN or an authorized FEIN service agent. Damaged battery chargers, cables, and plugs increase the risk of an electric shock.
Remove the battery from the charger and pull the mains plug when not using it for extended periods. Saving energy helps to save the environment.
When cleaning the battery charger, pull the mains plug out of the socket. There is a danger of electric shock.
Do not rivet or screw any nameplates or signs onto the battery charger. If the insulation is damaged, protection against an electric shock will be ineffective. Adhesive labels are recommended.

Charge only intact original FEIN batteries that are intended for your power tool. When charging incorrect, damaged, repaired, or reconditioned batteries, imitations, or other brands, there is a danger of fire and/or explosion.

Caution! Using the charger with Bluetooth ® may cause interference with other devices and systems, aircraft, and medical devices (e.g., cardiac pacemakers, and hearing aids). Also,  the possibility of humans and animals in direct vicinity being harmed cannot be completely exempt. Do not use the charger with Bluetooth ® near medical devices, chemical plants, areas with explosion hazards (e.g. petrol stations), blasting areas, and in aircraft. Avoid operation in the direct vicinity of the body over long periods.

Operating Instructions.

Connect the battery charger to the socket outlet without a battery inserted. The green LED indicator lights up and signals operational readiness. Insert the battery. The monitoring of the charging procedure is signaled by a flashing green light. The end of the charging procedure is indicated by continuous green lighting. The rapid charging starts automatically as soon as the battery temperature is within the charge-temperature range of 5 °C to 45 °C.
When lithium-ion batteries are fully charged, the battery charger switches off automatically. Repeated insertion of a charged battery leads to overcharging and affects the service life of the battery. If the battery becomes discharged within a short time despite being charged correctly, it has reached the end of its service life.
The installed fan starts and stops depending on the charger’s internal temperature.
On the ALG80BC, alternate flashing of the green and blue LED indicates connection readiness of the Bluetooth ® module. If the blue LED lights up continuously, an active Bluetooth ® connection exists.

Meaning of the LED indications

voltage is given.
ALG80BC:
Continuous blue light| The battery charger is ready for operation; the mains voltage is given. The Bluetooth ® module is coupled with a mobile device.
Note:
The Bluetooth ® module automatically switches to energy-saving mode after a longer period of inactivity. By inserting a Li-ion battery, the Bluetooth ® module is activated again.
Continuous yellow light| The battery temperature is not within the charge- temperature range of 5 °C to +45 °C. The rapid charging starts as soon as the battery reaches the allowable charging-temperature range.
LED indicator| Meaning

Continuous red light

| Charging is not possible due to the following possible reasons:
–  Contacts contaminated. Improvement measure: Clean the contacts by inserting and removing the battery several times.
–  The battery is defective. Improvement measure: Replace the battery!

Bluetooth® Connection
By coupling the charger with a Bluetooth® low-energy capable mobile device, data can be transferred between the charger and the mobile device. For this, download the FEIN  Service App onto your mobile device and follow the instructions of the FEIN Service App. The FEIN Service App enables:

• the registration of FEIN power tools
• the  management of FEIN power tools
• the status check of the charger and battery
• access to further information.

Note: If fully charged battery packs are inserted into the battery charger, the battery charger remains inactive and the battery pack is not recognized by the my.FEIN app. Please try inserting again once the battery pack is partially discharged.
For battery packs with a production date prior to 01.01.2021, the serial number may occasionally be displayed incorrectly in the my.FEIN app. In this case, you can only read out the current charge condition. Displaying the number of charging cycles of the inserted battery pack is not possible.

Repair and customer service.
Once per week; more often in case of frequent usage:

• Keep the contacts in the slide-on shoe clean.
• Only dry-clean electrical contacts.
• Ensure that metal chips do not enter the battery charger housing.
  If the charger’s power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special power cord, available from the manufacturer or their representative.

Warranty and liability.
The warranty for the product is valid in accordance with the legal regulations in the country where it is marketed. In addition, FEIN also provides a guarantee in accordance with the FEIN manufacturer’s warranty declaration. The delivery scope of your battery charger may include only a part of the accessories described or shown in this Instruction Manual.
Environmental protection, disposal.
Packaging, worn-out battery chargers, and accessories should be sorted for environment-friendly recycling. Dispose of batteries only when discharged. For batteries that are not completely discharged, insulate the terminals with tape as a protective measure against short-circuiting.
