NEVER LEAVE THE CHARGER UNATTENDED WHILE IT IS CONNECTED
TO ITS POWER SOURCE. IF ANY MALFUNCTION IS FOUND, TERMINATE
THE PROCESS AT ONCE AND REFER TO THE OPERATION MANUAL.
A The allowable AC input voltage is 100 - 240V AC
A The allowable DC input voltage is 11-18V DC.
A Keep the charger away from dust, damp, rain, heat, direct sunlight and
excessive vibration.
A If the charger is dropped or su ers any type of impact, it should be inspect-
ed by an authorized service station before using it again.
A This charger and the battery should be put on a heat-resistant, non- am-

PLEASE BEAR IN MIND THE FOLLOWING POINTS BEFORE YOU
COMMENCE CHARGING:
Did you select the appropriate program suitable for the type of battery you
are charging?
Did you set up the adequate current for charging or discharging?
Have you checked the battery voltage? Lithium battery packs can be wired
in parallel and in series, i.e. a 2-cell pack can be 3.7V (in parallel) or 7.4V (in
series).
Have you checked that all connections are  rm and secure?
Make sure there are no intermittent contacts at any point in the circuit.
