IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: CAUTION! TO REDUCE THE RISK OF DAMAGE, SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Do not store, place, or use the charger where it may come into contact with excess heat, water, or moisture. High-voltage internal components present the risk of electric shock when exposed. Charge only on a vibration-free, dry surface at room temperature. Should you ever notice smoke or a strange odor coming out of the charger, immediately unplug the AC adapter from the power outlet.
The charger, adapters, and batteries may feel warm during the charging process. This is normal. Unplug the AC adapter from the power outlet and clean the area around the prongs of the plug when necessary. The presence of dust around the prongs can cause fire. AC ADAPTER PRECAUTIONS Never use an electrical outlet whose voltage is outside the rating marked on the AC adapter. Doing so can cause fire or electric shock. Use only the supplied AC adapter or DC car cord for the charger.
Never touch the AC adapter while your hands are wet. Doing so can cause electric shock. Do not overload extension cords or wall outlets. Doing so can cause fire and electric shock. Indoor use only. Do not expose the charger to rain or snow. To reduce the risk of damage to the electrical plug and cord, disconnect by pulling the plug, not the cord. Make sure the cord is located properly so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or subjected to damage.
TO MAXIMIZE BATTERY PERFORMANCE: Make sure the battery is fully charged before use. Clean the battery and terminals with a clean, soft, dry cloth. The battery may be warm during use or recharging. This is normal. When storing the battery for an extended period, be sure that it is not completely charged, nor completely discharged. The ideal level is a 40% charge. This is approximate; the closer the battery is to this level, the better it will hold its charge during storage.
