a) Connection to a Voltage/Current Supply
The charger offers two different options for operation:
• Operation via the mains voltage (switchable 115 V/AC or 230 V/AC, 50/60 Hz)
• Operation via stabilised direct voltage (11 - 18 V/DC, e.g. via an external vehicle lead battery or a mains adapter)
Attention!
Before connecting the charger to the mains voltage, the right mains voltage must be set at the charger.
For this, put the voltage selection switch into the correct position (115 V/AC or 230 V/AC). If this is not
observed, the charger will be destroyed. Loss of warranty/guarantee!
Never use both operating modes at the same time. This may damage the charger. Loss of guarantee/war-
ranty!
The charger has a maximum total charging output of 240 W. If the charger is to be operated via the direct voltage
input, the power supply strength must be chosen depending on how high the actually used charging output is (depend-
ing on the rechargeable battery type, cell number and the charging current set).
When fully using the maximum total charging output of 240 W, the conversion loss increases power intake
by about 20 - 30%.

The charger will switch on automatically after connecting to the
voltage/current supply. The display will light up; the start message
will appear and the charger will emit a brief signal sound.
