REQUIRED IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR
INJURY TO PERSON, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
1. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains important safety and operating instructions for
BatteryMINDer Models 12117 and 12118.
2. Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
3. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by VDC Electronics may
result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
4. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by plug rather than
cord when disconnecting charger.
5. An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of
improper extension cord could result in a risk of fire and electric shock. If an
extension cord must be used, make sure:
a) That pins on plug of extension cord are the same number, size, and shape
as those of plug on charger;
b) That extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition;
and
c) That wire size is large enough for ac ampere rating of charger as specified
in Table below.
6. Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug – replace the cord or plug
immediately.
7. Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or

a If the input rating of a charger is given in watts rather than in amperes, the
corresponding ampere rating is to be determined by dividing the wattage rating by
the voltage rating - for example: 1250 watts/125 volts = 10 amperes
