interference from radio frequency emissions typical
of two-way radios used in emergency service/public
safety activities. Users of the Base
PowerCharger
1x1
should refer to Section 5 to
determine recommended operation distances from
RF transmission equip
ment.
•
Use only the AC power line cord supplied with the
device. Failure to use the proper line cord could
result in excess leakage currents and reduced
safety.
•
Do not disassemble the Base PowerCharger 1x1 . A
shock hazard exists. Refer all problems to ZOLL
Technical Service.
•
Follow all recommended maintenance instructions.
If a problem occurs, obtain service immediately. Do
not use the Base PowerCharger
1x1
until the unit has
been inspected by the appropriate personnel.
•
Do not place anything on top of or beneath the Base
PowerCharger
1x1
, such as blankets or cloths. Doing
so may block the vents on the unit, preventing
proper dissipation of heat during operation.
•
Do not use adjacent to or stacked with other
equipment. If adjacent or stacked use is necessary
the Base PowerCharger
1x1
should be observed to
verify normal operation.
•
Do not sterilize the Base PowerCharger
1x1
.

Do not use alcohol or ketones (MEK, acetone, etc.)
on the Base PowerCharger
1x1 .
•
Always wait until the Base PowerCharger
1x1
has
completed its charge cycle before removing
batteries.
•
Repeated use of partially charged batteries will
reduce their capacity and operating life.
•
Do not use a battery unless the BATT. READY
indicator is lit and the FAULT light is off. Failure to do
so may result in the use of a fully depleted battery.

•
When a fully charged battery is placed into the Base
PowerCharger
1x1
with the AutoTest, the AutoTest
will NOT activate and the BATT. READY indicator
will illuminate within a few minutes after inserting the
battery into the charger. Since the AutoTest
sequence is not performed, it is possible to have a
shorter battery run time than expected.
