b) Mains Cable/Mains Voltage
• Product setup corresponds to protection class I. Only a proper protective-contact mains socket must be
used for connection of the charger via the mains cable.
• The mains socket to which the plug-in mains unit is connected must be easily accessible.
• Do not pull the mains plug from the mains socket by pulling the cable.
• If the mains unit or charger are damaged, do not touch it. Danger to life from electric shock!
First switch off the mains voltage for the mains socket to which the mains cable is connected (switch
off the corresponding circuit breaker or take out the fuse, then switch off the fault interrupter protection
switch (FI circuit breaker) so that the mains socket is separated from the mains voltage on all poles).
Only then unplug the mains unit from the mains socket.
If the charger is damaged, stop operating it. Take it to a specialised workshop or dispose of it in an
environmentally friendly way.
If the mains cable is damaged, dispose of the damaged mains cable in an environmentally compatible
way. Do not use it anymore. Replace it with a new mains cable of the same specifications.
c) Location for Installation
• The charger is intended for dry indoor use only. It must not become damp or wet.
If the charger is operated via the mains cable, there is danger to life from electric shock in case of
moisture/wetness on the charger/mains cable!
• Avoid direct sun irradiation, strong heat or cold. Keep the charger away from dust and dirt. The same
applies to any rechargeable battery that may be connected.
• Choose a solid, flat, clean and sufficiently large surface for the charger. Never place the charger on a
flammable surface (e.g. carpet, tablecloth). Always use a suitable, non-flammable, heatproof surface.
• Keep the charger away from flammable or easily inflammable materials (e.g. curtains).
• Never cover the ventilation slots. Never block the function of the integrated fan. Observe that the fan
will start up automatically on demand (temperature-controlled).
• Do not place the charger on any valuable furniture surfaces without using a suitable protection. Other -
wise, scratches, pressure points or discolourations are possible. The same applies to the rechargeable
battery.
• Do not use the charger inside a vehicle.
• The charger must only be set up, used or stored in places that are not accessible to children. Children
may change the settings or short-circuit the rechargeable battery/battery pack, which can lead to an
explosion. Danger to life!
