excessive internal heat.
Place the charger in a
position away from any heat source. The charger is
ventilated through slots in the top and the bottom
of the housing.

authorized service center when service or repair
is required.
Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk

NOTICE:
Under certain conditions, with the charger
plugged into the power supply, the charger can be
shorted by foreign material. Foreign materials of a
