SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Failure to observe these instructions properly may result in property 

 

damage or personal injury, which may be serious depending on the  

circumstances.

Correct installation is the most critical factor in ensuring the safe use of the power supply.  

If every consideration of these instructions has been satisfied the power supply will be safe 

to operate.

Ensure that there is always good ventilation for the battery and the power supply.

Take care as dropping or touching of metal objects onto the battery terminals may cause 

short circuits. Remove any personal metal adornment such as a chain, watch or ring, which 

could cause short circuits and personal injury.

Batteries are electrically live at all times and must be treated with extreme caution. They can 

supply high short circuit currents, even if they appear damaged or undamaged.

Before servicing a battery, disconnect the power supply from all power sources.

Do not attempt to charge non-rechargeable batteries. Charging a non-rechargeable battery 

risks the battery catching fire or possible explosion.

Do not allow water or other liquids to enter the power supply area.

Do not drop or shake the product vigorously as this may cause damage to the product. Do 

not shock the equipment, batteries and charger, as this may cause device or battery failure, 

fire or explosion.

Stay away from magnetic equipment; radiation may erase information stored on the device.

Please note that the battery can only reach top performance level after it has been fully 

charged and discharged two or three times.

Keep the device dry; do not expose it to water. Do not use it where it can fall into water (such 

as near a pool, pond, bath etc.). Do not let the device, battery or charger come into contact 

with water vapour or operate it with wet hands. Contact with water will cause the device to 

short-circuit, corrode or cause electric shock.

Do not use this product where it is excessively hot, cold, dusty or humid, or where it is 

exposed to strong magnetic fields or long periods of sunshine. Such exposure may cause 

device or battery failure, fire or explosion.

Only use the device with the battery and cable supplied. Use of other accessories not 

recommended in this manual may cause damage to the unit and will void the warranty.

Clean the housing of the device lightly with a dry or moist cotton cloth. Do not use alcohol, 

thinners, benzene or any other chemical cleaner.

This device is a high precision electronic product. It contains no user-serviceable parts 

inside. Do not try to dismantle, modify or repair it yourself. Disassembly by unauthorised 

persons will void the warranty.

Specifications are subject to change and improvement without notice.

CAUTION

Please read the Safety Precautions carefully before installing the power supply. 

Be sure to observe all precautions without fail.

After completing the installation, conduct a trial operation to check for faults.

Note: NSW legislation requires the use of an additional remote trailer battery monitor system 

in the tow vehicle. TrailCheck is a wireless solution for this purpose. Wired options are also 

supported. For more information visit: www.rms.nsw.gov.au
