Warning
PLEASE BEAR IN MIND THE FOLLOWING POINTS BEFORE YOU
COMMENCE CHARGING:
•
Did you select the appropriate program suitable for the type of battery you are charging?
•
Did you set up the adequate current for charging?
•
Have you checked the battery voltage? Lithium battery packs can be wired in parallel and/or in
series, i.e. a 2-cell pack can be 3.7V (in parallel) or 7.4V (in series).
•
Have you checked that all connections are fi rm and secure?
•
Make sure there are no intermittent contacts at any point in the circuit.
WHEN ADJUSTING YOUR RDX2 MINI CHARGING PARAMETERS, BE SURE YOU
SELECT THE PROPER BATTERY TYPE AND CELL VOLTAGE FOR THE TYPE OF CELL YOU
ARE CHARGING. CHARGING BATTERIES WITH THE WRONG SETTINGS MAY CAUSE
THE CELLS TO BURST, CATCH FIRE OR EXPLODE.
