Improper use of the device/contraindications for use: Any other method of use or use for purposes other than intended is considered improper. The manufacturer is not responsible for damage resulting from such use. In this case, only the operator assumes all risks.
Additional information, maintenance and storage : No maintenance is required.

Warnings

• Follow additional requirements specified in user’s manuals for rechargeable batteries for the charging time.
• Caution! Do not use dry batteries – risk of explosion!
•  Before installation, check that the mains voltage used is within the permissible range (see technical data).
• After charging has been completed, remove the battery handles from the device and disconnect the power cable of the charger from the mains.
• The device may only be used in closed, dry rooms.
• Do not use the charger in areas subject to strong magnetic fields (MRI systems).
• Do not clean the inside of the charger as this could cause a short circuit.

Maintenance

After the power supply plug has been plugged into the outlet, the charger is ready for use (the green LED will read: „Standby“). After the battery handle have been inserted, the LED of the corresponding charging socket signals the charging status (red = charging, green = fully charged, blinking red = error). After the charging voltage has been reached, the LED switches from red to green, i.e. the battery handle is fully charged. When the handle is inserted into the socket, the charging process starts automatically. If necessary, a take-up sleeve is used as an adapter for the various handles. After unscrewing the cover, the battery can be removed or replaced.
