This user manual is specific to your Globe (e-bike) charger. It contains
important safety, performance, and technical information, which you should
read before your first use and keep for reference.

When reading this manual, you will note various important symbols and
warnings, which are explained below:
WARNING! The combination of this symbol and word indicates a potentially
hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in serious injury or
death. Many of the Warnings say “you may lose control and fall.” Because any
fall can result in serious injury or even death, we do not always repeat the
warning of possible injury or death.
CAUTION : The combination of the safety alert symbol and the word CAUTION
indicates a potentially hazardous situation, that, if not avoided, may result
in minor or
moderate injury, or is an alert against unsafe practices The word CAUTION used
without the safety alert symbol indicates a situation that, if not avoided,
could result in serious damage to the bicycle or the voiding of your warranty.
This symbol alerts the reader to information that is particularly important.
