1. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains important safety and operating instructions for
BatteryMINDer Model 12117TC.
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:
6. a) That extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition;
and
b) That wire size is large enough for AC ampere rating of charger as
specified in Table below.
7. Do not operate charger with damaged extension cord or plug – replace
the cord or plug immediately.
8. Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped,
or otherwise damaged in any way; call

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
