SAFETY FEATURES
The AL-4 has built in safety features to protect the charger as well as the batteries from serious damage in the
event an attempt is made to charge a faulty battery. Low voltage batteries are detected prior to applying fast
charge current. If a battery is found to be low voltage it will not be fast charged until it reaches to the
acceptable fast charge level. This prevents any damage to the unit or to the battery. Batteries reaching an over
voltage condition during charging will also be controlled.
GENERAL NOTES
a) While in use do not place anything on the charger, do not block ventilation holes.
b) During charging the temperature of the charger will rise, this is normal and not a
malfunction.
c) When connecting a battery be sure to plug it into the socket or connector firmly.
d) Do not attempt to use faulty batteries or batteries with incorrect specifications.
e) Do not expose the charger to direct sunlight, use in a well ventilated place.
f) Do not operate near equipment that might be influenced by noise such as TV, etc.
g) Do not open unit or attempt to repair any malfunction by yourself, there are dangerous power supply
circuits inside. There are no user serviceable parts.
h) The unit should be turned on prior to inserting batteries to be charged.
