Dear Customer, the following safety instructions are intended not only for the protection of your
health but also for the protection of the device. Please read carefully through the following points:
• The product may only be used in dry, enclosed rooms. It must not get damp or wet. Avoid bringing
into contact with direct sunlight, high temperatures (>35°C) or extreme cold (<0°C). Keep it away
from dust and dirt. The same is valid for any battery that may be connected.
• Do not use the charger within a vehicle.
• Do not place any containers filled with liquid, e.g. vases or plants, on or next to the charger.
• This will result in the charger being destroyed and is a considerable fire hazard.
If this occurs, immediately disconnect the product from the power supply, then disconnect the
battery from the charger. The exterior of the battery must be completely dried off and/or cleaned.
Do not use the charger again - bring it to a specialist workshop.
• The device is not a toy. It is not suitable for children. Pay particular attention if children are
present! Children could attempt to poke objects into the device. This will result in the device being
destroyed and there is a considerable risk to life from electrical shock!
The product may only be set up, used or stored in places that are not accessible to children.
Children may change the settings or short-circuit the battery/battery pack, which can lead to an
explosion. Mortal danger!
• Do not operate the appliance when it is unattended. Although there are a wide range of
comprehensive safety mechanisms on the device, it is impossible to exclude the possibility of
malfunctions or problems occurring while charging a battery.
• Only use the device in a moderate climate, do not use it in a tropical climate. For more information
on acceptable environmental conditions, see the chapter "Technical Data".
• Select a stable, level, sufficiently large and flat surface.
• Never place the charger and battery on a flammable surface (e.g. carpet). Always use a suitable,
non-flammable, heatproof base.
• Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation during operation, never cover up the charger and/or the
connected battery. Leave enough distance (at least 20cm) between the charger, the battery and
other objects.
• Never use the product immediately after it has been brought from a cold room into a warm one.
The resulting condensation may lead to malfunctions or damage under certain circumstances!
Allow the charger (and the battery/batteries) to reach room temperature before connecting the
charger to the power supply and using it. This may take several hours!
