BATTERY CHARGER HEAT DISSIPATION:    

The PSC Power Star Element uses an external 10-amp 

battery charger.  This charger will get quite warm in use.  You must provide  adequate airflow 
around the charger so that is can properly dissipate the heat given off  while charging.   Do not 
operate the charger with the charger fully enclosed such as in a drawer, or packed tightly within 
other equipment.  It must have some free space around every side of the body of the charger in 
order that it dissipate heat correctly.     Failure to provide proper ventilation can and will damage 
the  unit  and  will  void  your  warranty.    To  charge  the  unit,  simply  connect  the  chargers  inline 
SpeakOn connector to the matching SpeakOn chassis connector on the PowerStar Element and 
then plug the charger into AC power.
