Notes on Using the Battery Charger
Use with the following power supply cord set:
Cord: UL Listed, Type SPT-2, No.18 AWG, rated 300V,
10A, minimum 4 ft (1.2m), maximum 10 ft (3m) long.
One end terminates in a molded-on, parallel-blade, (non-
polarized) attachment plug with a 7A, 125V (NEMA 1-
15P) configuration.
• The battery and battery charger themselves will
become warm due to the power stored inside them. This
is normal and does not indicate a fault. Wherever
possible, use the battery charger in a well-ventilated
location.
• There may be vibration noises from inside the battery
charger during use. This is normal and does not indicate
a fault.
• The battery charger could cause interference if placed
close to a radio during charging. In this event, move the
radio and charger further apart.
• Do not leave the battery charger in the following types
of locations:
• Extremely humidity or high temperatures, such as close
to a heating appliance or in direct sunlight
• Places with strong vibration
• In very dusty places
• The battery charger accepts input voltages of 100-240
V AC at 50 or 60 Hz and can be used all over the world.
However, the shape of the plug and socket-outlet
depends on the country of use. Consult your travel
agent for details.
