IMPORTANT WARNINGS
Disconnect the battery and remove input power from the charger immediately if the charger or battery
become hot!! Allow the charger or battery to cool down before reconnecting.
• NEVER attempt to charge incompatible types of rechargeable batteries as permanent damage to the battery and
charger could result.
• NEVER use automotive type battery chargers to power the charger.
• NEVER allow water, moisture or foreign objects into the charger.
• NEVER block the air intake holes which could cause the charger to overheat.
• NEVER attempt to use batteries with more cells or total voltage than listed in the specifi cations
• NEVER leave the room where a battery is being charged or discharged.
