1. Place the charger on a flat and level surface, away from sources of heat and
moisture.
2. Plug the DC connector from the power supply into the back of the charger.
3. Connect the power supply to the mains AC supply using the supplied cable. All
LEDs will flash momentarily to let you know that power is present.
