1.1. Warnings and Safety Information

Failure to follow these important safety notes or the
instruction manual can result in severe injury, property
damage or loss of life.
1. Please read this entire instruction manual completely
and attentively before using this product, as it covers a
wide range of information on operation and safety.
2. Never leave the charger unattended when it is connected
to its power supply. If any malfunction is found, terminate
the process at once and refer to the instruction manual.
3. Keep the charger away from dust, moisture, water, excessive
heat, direct sunlight and vibration.
4. The maximum allowable input voltage is 120 VAC when
using the supplied AC power cord or 15V DC when using
an external DC power source.
Never attampt to charge or discharge the following
types of batteries:
· A battery pack which consists of different types of cells
(including different manufacturers)
· A battery that is already fully charged or just slightly
discharged
· Non-rechargeable batteries (they pose an explosion
hazard)
· Batteries that require a different charge technique from
NiCd, NiMH, LiPo or gel cell (Pb, lead-acid ballery)
Before you start charging or discharging your batteries
consider the following:
· Did you select the appropriate program suitable for the
type of battery you are charging?
· Did you set up adequate current for charging or
discharging?
· Have you checked the battery voltage? Lithium battery
packs can be wired in parallel and in series, i.e. a 2-cell
pack can be 3.7V (in parallel) or 7.4V (in series).
5. The charger and the battery should be put on a heat-
resistant, non-fl ammable and non-conductive surface.
Never place them on a car seat, carpet or other fl ammable
surface. Keep all fl ammable volatile materials away from
the operating area.
6. Make sure you know the specifi cations of the battery
you are charging or discharging to ensure it meets the
requirements of this charger. If the program is set up
incorrectly, the ballery and charger may be damaged. Fire
or explosion can occur due to overcharging.
7. To avoid short circuiting between the charge lead,
always connect the charge cable to the charger fi rst,
then connect the battery. Reverse the sequence when
disconnecting.
· A faulty or damaged battery
· A battery fi lled with an integral charge circuit or a
protection circuit
· Batteries installed in a device or which are electrically
linked to other components
· Batteries that are not expressly stated by the manufac-
turer to be suitable for the currents the charger delivers
during the charge process
· Have you checked that all connections are fi rm and
secure? Make sure there are no intermittent contacts at
any point in the circuit.
