Liability Exclusion - GRAUPNER MULTILADER 9E Bedienungsanleitung

Connect the battery to be charged to the charger output sockets using a suitable charge lead
(red = positive terminal, black = negative terminal). Use genuine charge leads of adequate
conductor cross-section exclusively.
Be sure to read the information provided by the battery manufacturer regarding charging
methods, and observe the recommended charge currents and charge times. Do not attempt
to fast-charge batteries unless they are expressly stated to be suitable for the high currents
which this charger delivers.
Please bear in mind that new batteries do not reach their full capacity until they have undergone
several charge / discharge cycles. You should also be aware that the charger may terminate
the charge process prematurely when connected to new packs, and batteries which have
been deepdischarged.
A NiXX pack will normally be warm at the end of a rapid-charge process, but if you notice that
one cell of the pack is much hotter than the others, this may well indicate a fault in that cell.
Such packs could fail completely without warning, and should not be used again. Dispose of
the battery safely, preferably taking it to a toxic waste disposal centre.
Ensure that all connectors and terminal clamps make good, sound contact. For example, if there
is a brief interruption due to an intermittent contact, the result is inevitably a malfunction such
as a restart of the charge process, which would result in the pack being massively overcharged.
A common cause of malfunctions is the use of unsuitable charge leads. Since the charger is
incapable of detecting the difference between a pack's internal resistance, cable resistance
and connector transfer resistance, the fi rst requirement if the charger is to work perfectly is that
the charge lead should be of adequate conductor cross-section and should be not be more
than 30 cm long Goodquality connectors (gold-contact types) must be fi tted to both ends).
A battery installed in a radio control transmitter can usually be recharged via the integral charge
socket which is fi tted to the transmitter itself.
Transmitter charge sockets generally include a diode which prevents reverse current flow. This
prevents damage to the transmitter electronics should the charger be connected with reverse
polarity, or if a short-circuit occurs between the bare ends of the charge lead connectors.
The stated maximum charge current for the transmitter battery must never be exceeded.
To avoid possible damage to the internal transmitter components due to overheating and heat
build-up, we recommend that the battery should be removed from the transmitter's battery
compartment prior to charging.
The transmitter must be set to „OFF" and left in that state for the whole period of the charge
process!
Never switch a radio control transmitter on when it is still connected to the battery charger.
Never attempt to carry out any battery discharge or battery maintenance programs via the
transmitter's integral charge socket. The charge socket is not suitable for this purpose.
When you set a particular current for charging, the charger only supplies that current if the value
does not exceed the unit's technical capacity! If you set a charge current which the charger
cannot deliver because it falls outside its technical limits, the unit automatically reduces the
current to the maximum possible value. In this case the screen displays the charge current
which is actually flowing.
