CAUTION and NOTES

WARNING! CAUTION! DANGER!

FIRE HAZARD!  CHARGING AND DISCHARGING BATTERIES HAS THE POTENTIAL FOR FIRE, EXPLOSION, SERIOUS INJURY, AND PROPERTY DAMAGE IF NOT PERFORMED AS PER THE INSTRUCTIONS, BEFORE USE, READ AND FOLLOW ALL MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS, WARNING, AND PRECAUTIONS. NEVER ALLOW CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 14 TO CHARGE OR USE BATTERIES WITHOUT THE SUPERVISION OF A RESPONSIBLE, KNOWLEDGEABLE ADULT. DO NOT LEAVE THE BATTERIES OR CHARGER UNATTENDED WHILE CHARGING.

Important warnings for users of Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries: Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries are significantly more volatile than other rechargeable
batteries.

• ONLY use a Lithium Polymer (LiPo) balance charger with a balance adapter port to charge LiPo batteries. Never use NiMH or NiCad-type chargers or charge modes to charge LiPo batteries DO NOT charge with a NiMH-only charger. The use of a NiMH or NiCad charger or charge mode will damage the batteries and may cause fire and personal injury.
• Never charge LiPo battery packs in series or parallel. Charging packs in series or parallel may result in improper charger cell recognition and an improper  charging rate that may lead to overcharging, cell imbalance, cell damage, and fire.
• ALWAYS inspect your LiPo batteries carefully before charging Look for any loose leads or connectors, damaged wire insulation, damaged cell packaging, impact damage, fluid leaks, swelling (a sign of internal damage), cell deformity, missing labels, or any other damage or irregularity If any of these conditions are observed, do not charge or use the battery pack Follow the disposal instructions included with your battery to properly and safely dispose of the battery.
• Do not store or charge LiPo batteries with or around other batteries or battery packs of any type, including other LiPos.
• Store and transport your LiPo batteries in a cool dry place Do not store in direct sunlight. Do not allow the storage temperature to exceed 140°F or 60°C  such as in the trunk of a car or the cells may be damaged and create a fire risk Do NOT disassemble LiPo batteries or cells.
• Do NOT attempt to build your own LiPo battery pack from loose cells.

Charging and handling precautions for all battery types:

• This charger is ONLY suitable for the following rechargeable battery types: LiPo, Lilo, LiFe, Liev, NiCd, NIMH, Smart and Pb batteries. Do not attempt to charge dry cells. Charging other types of batteries may cause fire or explosion.
• Strongly Recommend balancing Lithium packs An unbalanced pack may damage during discharging.
• The general default charging current is 1C. Read the manual of the battery and setup the suitable current to charge the battery. Higher charge/discharge current will damage the battery, even cause a fire.
• ALWAYS proceed with caution and use good common sense at all times 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 require adult supervision while using this charger.
• DO NOT let any exposed battery contacts or wires touch each other. This will cause the battery to short circuit and create the risk of fire.
• While charging,  ALWAYS place the battery in a fire retardant/fireproof container and on a non-flammable surface such as concrete.
• DO NOT operate the charger inside of an automobile.
• NEVER charge batteries on wood, cloth, carpet or on any other flammable material.
• ALWAYS charge batteries in a well-ventilated area.
• REMOVE flammable iter and combustible materials from the charging area.
• DO NOT operate the charger in a cluttered space, or place objects on top of the charger or batteries.
• If any battery or battery cell is damaged in any way, do NOT charge, discharge, or use the battery. DO NOT exceed the battery manufacturer’s maximum recommended charge rate.
• DO NOT disassemble, crush, short circuit, or expose the batteries or cells to flame or the batteries from the charger Never attempt to charge more batteries than the charger was designed to charge.
• Keep a Class D fire extinguisher nearby in case of fire.
• BEFORE you charge, ALWAYS confirm that the charger settings exactly match the type chemistry), specification and configuration of the battery to be charged any other source of ignition.
• If a battery gets hot to the touch during the charging process, disconnect the battery from the charger and discontinue charging immediately.
• ALWAYS unplug the charger and disconnect the batteries when not in use.
• DO NOT leave the charger and batteries unattended while charging, discharging, or any.
• DO NOT leave the charger and batteries unattended while charging, discharging, or any time that the charger is ON with batteries connected. If there are any signs of a malfunction or in the event of an emergency, unplug the charger from the power source and disconnect.
• DO NOT disassemble the charger REMOVE the batteries from your model or device before charging
• DO NOT expose the charger to water or moisture ALWAYS store battery packs safely out of the reach of children and pets. I
• If the charger power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by LEGENDARY In order to avoid a hazard.
• DO NOT charge batteries under ANY of the following conditions:
  Batteries that are hot to the touch Batteries that are not expressly stated by the manufacturer to be suitable to accept the power output (voltage and amperage) the charger delivers during the charging process. – Batteries that are damaged or defective in any way. Examples of damage or defects include, but are not limited to, batteries with dented cells, damaged or frayed wires, loose connections, fluid leaks, corrosion, plugged vents, swelling, cell deformity, impact damage, melted components, or any other signs of damage.
  -Battery packs that have been altered from original manufacturer configuration.
  -Non-rechargeable batteries (explosion hazard).
  – Batteries that have missing or unreadable labels, preventing you from properly identifying the battery type and specifications.
