d) Setup location
• Only use in temperate climates. Refer to the technical data section for information on the
permitted ambient conditions.
• The charger must only be used in dry, enclosed indoor areas. It must not become damp or
wet. Never place the product next to a bathtub, shower or other sources of moisture.
• Avoid direct sunlight, intense heat and cold temperatures. Keep the product away from dust
and dirt. The same applies to connected batteries.
•
Do not use the product in rooms or areas where flammable gas, vapours or dust may be
present, as this may cause an explosion!
•
Place the charger on a clean, level surface. Do not place the charger on flammable materi
-
als (e.g. a carpet or tablecloth). Always use a non-flammable, heatproof surface.
•
Keep the charger away from flammable or combustible materials (e.g. curtains).
•
Never cover the product, as this may cause it to overheat and catch fire. Do not insert any
objects into the ventilation slots on the charger.
• If the product has a fan, do not interfere with the built-in fan.
• Always use suitable protection when placing the charger on valuable furniture, otherwise it
may cause scratch/pressure marks or discolour the furniture.
• Do not use the charger inside vehicles.
•
Do not use the charger in the immediate vicinity of strong magnetic/electromagnetic fields,
transmitter aerials or HF generators. These may affect the electronic control system.
• Do not place any objects that contain liquid (e.g. vases or plants) on or next to the charger,
battery or cable.
• Liquids that get into the interior of the charger (or inside the connection sockets) may de-
stroy the charger and cause a fire.
• If liquid does get inside the device or the connection sockets, disconnect the charger from
the power supply. Remove the battery from the charger. Discontinue use and take the
charger to a specialist repair centre.
e) Cables
• Make sure that cables are not pinched or damaged by sharp edges. Do not place any
objects on cables.
f) Operation
• The charger is powered by stabilized direct voltage (e.g. an external car lead-acid battery
or a suitable mains adapter). Make sure the power supply complies with the details given
in the technical data.
• Never wear metal or conductive objects (e.g. jewellery such as necklaces, bracelets or
rings) to avoid short circuits, which can lead to fire or explosion.
•
Never leave the product unattended during use.
•
Ensure there is sufficient ventilation during use; never cover the charger. Ensure that there
is a sufficient distance (min. 20 cm) between the charger and other objects, otherwise the
charger may overheat and cause a fire!
• Only charge battery types listed in the technical data.
•
To prevent fire or explosion, always connect the cable to the charger before connecting a
battery. When disconnecting, proceed in the reverse order – disconnect the battery from the
charging cable, and then unplug the cable from the charger.
• Do not connect several chargers together.
• Only connect a single battery/battery pack to the charger.
• If you do not plan to use the charger for an extended period, disconnect any connected bat-
teries from the charger, and then disconnect the charger from the power supply.
• Never use the product immediately after it has been brought from a cold room into a warm
one. This may generate condensation, which can cause the charger to malfunction or dam-
age the interior components.
• Allow the product to reach room temperature before using it. This may take several hours.
• If you suspect that safe operation is no longer possible, discontinue use immediately and
prevent unauthorized use. Disconnect the charger from the power supply.
• Safe operation is no longer possible if the product is visibly damaged or stops working, or
if the product was stored in unfavourable conditions for an extended period or mishandled
during transport.
g) Cleaning and Storage
• Before you clean the charger, disconnect any connected batteries.
• Before you clean, disconnect the power supply from the charger.
