Therefore, please read the following points very carefully before connecting and
using the product for the first time.
a) General
• T he unauthorised conversion and/or modification of the product is not permitted
for safety and approval reasons (CE). Never dismantle the product.
• Maintenance, adjustment, or repair work should be carried out only by a special-
ist/specialist workshop.
There are no components for you to adjust or maintain within the device.
• The product is not a toy and does not belong in the hands of children! The product
may only be set up, used or stored in places that are not accessible to children.
The same applies to rechargeable batteries. Children could short-circuit the
rechargeable battery/battery pack, which may cause an explosion. This presents
a danger to life!
• The product design corresponds to the protection-class II (double or reinforced
isolation). Make sure that the insulation (of the casing or the output cable) is

neither damaged nor destroyed.
• The charger is designed for operation from a power outlet with rated voltage of
100 - 240 V/AC, 50/60 Hz. Never operate the device on a different voltage/
frequency.
The outlet must be located in direct proximity to the device and easily accessible.
• Do not pull the mains plug from the mains socket by pulling on the cable!
• In schools, educational centres, hobby and self-help workshops, the operation of
the product is to be supervised by trained employees.
• In commercial institutions, the accident prevention regulations of the Employer's
Liability Insurance Association for Electrical Systems and Operating Facilities are
to be observed.
• Do not leave packaging material carelessly lying around. It may become a dan-
gerous plaything for children!
• If in doubt about how to connect the device correctly, or should any questions
arise that are not answered in these operating instructions, please contact our
technical service or another specialist.
b) Installation location
• The product may be used only in dry areas indoors. It may not get wet or damp;
there is danger of electric shock!
Do not use the charger within a vehicle.
• S elect a stable, flat, clean, and sufficiently large place for the charger.
D o 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 surface of valuable furniture without suitable protec-
tion. The impact of heat could lead to colour or material changes.
K eep the charger away from easily flammable materials (e.g. drapes, paper),
liquids (e.g. gasoline) or gases.
• Avoid direct sunlight, strong heat or cold. Keep the product away from dust and
dirt.
• D o not use in the immediate vicinity of strong magnetic or electromagnetic fields,
transmitter aerials or RF generators. This can impact the electric control system.
• D o not place any containers filled with liquid, e.g. vases or plants, on or next to
the charger.
If these liquids get into the interior of the charger, it will be destroyed, and there is
also a high risk of a fire or an explosion.
In this case, switch off immediately the mains socket to which the charger is con-
nected (switch off at the corresponding circuit breaker or remove the safety fuse,
then switch off the respective earth leakage circuit breaker).
Then remove the battery from the charger and pull the mains plug out of the
mains outlet.
Allow the battery and charger to dry, and then have it checked by a specialist
workshop or dispose of the product in an ecologically sound fashion.
• Make sure that the mains cable is not pinched or damaged by sharp edges. A
damaged power cable may never be used again! Place the cable so that nobody
can trip over it.
c) Operation
• Only LiPo batteries may be charged by this charger (rated voltage per cell 3.7 V).
Never charge any other batteries (e.g. NiMH, NiCd or lead batteries) or non-
rechargeable batteries. There is a great risk of fire or explosion!
• Only connect a single battery to the charger.
• M aintain sufficient distance to flammable objects. Allow adequate distance
between the charger and the battery (min. 20 cm), and never put the battery onto
the charger.
