WARNING AND SAFETY NOTES
These warnings and safety notes are particularly important. Please follow the
instructions for maximum safety; failure to adhere to these instructions may
damage the charger and/or battery and may cause a fire.
Never leave the charger unattended when connected to its power supply. If any
malfunction occurs, TERMINATE THE PROCESS AT ONCE and refer to the
instruction manual.
Keep the charger well away from dust, moisture, rain, heat, direct sunshine and
vibration. Do not drop the Prodigy 620 DUO.
The correct input voltage is 12-18V DC
Both the charger and battery should be put on a heat-resistant, nonflammable, and
nonconductive surface when in use. Never place these items on a car seat, carpet
or similar surface. Keep all the inflammable and volatile materials away from the
operating area.
Make sure you know the specifications of the battery to be charged or discharged
to ensure that it is compatible with this charger. If the charging program is set up
incorrectly the battery and/or charger may be damaged; this can cause fire or
explosion due to overcharging. ProTek R/C is not responsible for any damage or
subsequent damage arising as a result of misuse or failure to observe the
procedures outlined in this manual.
