Power adaptor

• The mains outlet must be located near to the device and be easily accessible.
• As power supply, only use the supplied mains adaptor.
• Only connect the power adaptor to a normal mains socket connected to the public supply. Before plug-ging in the power adaptor, check whether the voltage stated on the power adaptor complies with the voltage of your electricity supplier.
• Never connect or disconnect power adaptors if your hands are wet.
• Never unplug the power adaptor from the mains socket by pulling on the cable; always use the grips on the plug.
• When setting up the product, make sure that the cable is not pinched, kinked or damaged by sharp edges.
• Always lay the cables so that nobody can trip over or become entangled in them. This poses a risk of injury.
• For safety reasons, disconnect the power adaptor from the mains socket during storms.

Charger

• This charger only works with Ni-Mh, Ni-Cd, LiFePO4, and Li-ion type batteries. Never use the charger with other types of batteries as this could result in explosion, cracking or leaking causing damage to property and/or personal injury.
• Never use the product immediately after it has been brought from a cold room into a warm one. The condensation generated could destroy the product. Allow the product to reach room temperature before connecting it and putting it to use. This may take several hours.
• When the charger is not in use, disconnect it from the power supply and remove any batteries from the charging slots.
• The battery data displayed on the LCD is for reference only and may differ from those measured with professional equipment.

Rechargeable batteries

• Correct polarity must be observed while inserting the rechargeable batteries.
• Rechargeable batteries should be removed from the device if it is not used for a long period of time to avoid damage through leaking. Leaking or damaged rechargeable batteries might cause acid burns when in contact with skin, therefore use suitable protective gloves to handle corrupted rechargeable batteries.
• Rechargeable batteries must be kept out of reach of children. Do not leave rechargeable batteries lying around, as there is risk that children or pets swallow them.
• Rechargeable batteries must not be dismantled, short-circuited or thrown into fire. Never recharge non-rechargeable batteries. There is a risk of explosion!
• Never charge the rechargeable battery of the product unattended.
• Never damage the rechargeable battery. Damaging the casing of the rechargeable battery might cause an explosion or a fire!
• Never short-circuit the contacts of the rechargeable battery. Do not throw the battery or the product into fire. There is a danger of fire and explosion!
• The instructions given by the manufacturer of the respective rechargeable batteries must be followed during the charging process.

Installation site

• Do not cover the charger
• When charging, place the product on a surface that is not heat-sensitive. It is normal that a certain amount of heat is generated during charging.
• Select a stable, flat, clean, sufficiently large place for the charger.
• Do not place the charger on a flammable surface (e.g. carpet, tablecloth). Always use a suitable, non-flammable, heatproof base.
• Do not place the charger on the surface of valuable furniture without suitable protection. The impact of heat could lead to colour or material changes. Scratches or pressure points may occur on the furniture surface.
• Keep the device away from easily flammable materials (e.g. drapes, paper), liquids (e.g. gasoline) or gases. There is a risk of fire and explosion.
