there is danger of electric shock!
Do not use the charger within a vehicle.
•Selectastable,at,clean,andsufcientlylargeplaceforthecharger.
Donotplacethechargeronaammablesurface(e.g.carpet,tablecloth).Always
useasuitable,non-ammable,heatproofbase.
Do not place the charger on surface of valuable furniture without suitable protec-
tion. The impact of heat could lead to colour or material changes.
Keepthechargerawayfromeasilyammablematerials(e.g.drapes,paper),
liquids (e.g. gasoline) or gases.
• Avoid direct sunlight, strong heat or cold. Keep the product away from dust and
dirt.
•Donotuseintheimmediatevicinityofstrongmagneticorelectromagneticelds,
transmitter aerials or RF generators. This can impact the electric control system.
•Donotplaceanycontainerslledwithliquid,e.g.vasesorplants,onornextto
the charger.
If these liquids get into the interior of the charger, it will be destroyed, and there is
alsoahighriskofareoranexplosion.
In this case, switch off immediately the mains socket to which the charger is
connected (switch off at the corresponding circuit breaker or remove the safety
fuse, then switch off the respective earth leakage circuit breaker).
Then remove the battery from the charger and pull the mains plug out of the
mains outlet.
Allow the battery and charger to dry, and then have it checked by a specialist
workshop or dispose of the product in an ecologically sound fashion.
• Make sure that the mains cable is not pinched or damaged by sharp edges. A
damaged power cable may never be used again! Place the cable so that nobody
can trip over it.
c) Operation
• Only LiPo batteries may be charged by this charger (rated voltage per cell 3.7 V).
Never charge any other batteries (e.g. NiMH, NiCd or lead batteries) or non-
rechargeablebatteries.Thereisagreatriskofreorexplosion!
• Only connect a single battery to the charger.
•Maintainsufcientdistancetoammableobjects.Allowadequatedistance
between the charger and the battery (min. 20 cm), and never put the battery onto
the charger.
• As both the charger and the battery heat up during the charge/discharge procedu-
re,itisnecessarytoensuresufcientventilation.Nevercoverthechargerand/or
the connected battery.
• Do not operate the product unattended. Although there is a wide range of
comprehensive safety mechanisms on the device, it is impossible to exclude the
possibility of malfunctions or problems occurring while charging a battery.
• When you work with the charger or rechargeable batteries, never wear metallic
or strongly conductive materials, such as jewellery (necklaces, bracelets, rings or
similarobjects).Ashortcircuitatthebatteryorchargerposesadangerofreand
explosion.
• Never leave batteries connected to the charger, if the charger is not in use.
Disconnect the charging set from the mains voltage. Pull the mains plug out of
the mains socket. Afterwards, keep the product in a clean and dry place out of
children’s reach.
• Only use the device in a moderate climate, do not use it in a tropical climate.
For more information on acceptable environmental conditions, see the chapter
“Technical Data”.
• Never use the product immediately after it has been brought from a cold room into
a warm one. The resulting condensation may lead to malfunctions or damage un-
der certain circumstances! Furthermore, this could cause a lethal electric shock!
Allow the charger (and the battery/batteries) to reach room temperature before
connecting the charger to the mains supply and using it. This may take several
hours!
• Handle the product with care. The product can be damaged if crushed, struck,
