red Power LED on the charger lights up.

Connect the battery to the charger (Fig. 2). 

During the charge process the green monitor LED glows. 

Disconnect the battery from the charger, then disconnect 

the mains PSU from the mains socket.

Safety Notes

Do not operate your charger and batteries on an inflamma-
ble surface, and do not leave the equipment running un-
supervised. Protect from damp. Do not subject it to direct 
sunshine, and do not cover the charger.
Do not charge batteries that are hot to the touch. Allow 
batteries to cool down to ambient temperature. Charge the 
battery only using the charger included in the set; do not 
use any other charger. The charger should only be used to 
charge the battery included in the set.

Safety Notes regarding LiPo batteries:

• Do not place the battery in water or any other liquid.

• Do not heat or incinerate the battery; do not place it 

  in a microwave oven.

• Avoid short-circuits, and never charge the battery with    

  reversed polarity

• Do not subject the battery to pressure or shock loads, and  

  never distort or throw the pack.

• Never solder directly to the battery 

• Do not modify or open the battery 

• Batteries must only be charged with a suitable charger;   

  never connect the battery directly to a mains power supply.

• Never charge or discharge a battery in bright 

  sunlight, or close to a heater or open fire. 

• Do not use the battery in areas subject to 

  high levels of static discharge. 

• Any of these errors can result in damage to the battery, 

  explosion or even fire. 

• Keep the battery out of the reach of children

• Do not allow escaped electrolyte to come into contact 

  with fire, as it is highly inflammable, and may ignite.

• Avoid the fluid electrolyte contacting the eyes.  

  If this should happen, flush with copious amounts of clean  

  water and contact a doctor without delay.

• The fluid electrolyte can also be removed from clothing  

  and other objects by rinsing in plenty of water.
