3. Safety Notes
! These operating instructions are an in-
tegral part of the product. They contain
important information and safety notes,
and should be kept in a safe place at all
times. Be sure to pass them on to the new
owner if you ever dispose of the product.
! Read the instructions carefully, and be
sure to observe the safety notes.
Do not operate the charger until you have
carefully read right through these
operating instructions and the safety
notes, which may be included in these
instructions or supplied separately.
! Do not open the charger, and on no
account carry out technical modifications
of any kind. Use genuine accessories and
replacement parts exclusively.
! If you are obliged to operate the
charger in conjunction with other makes of
equipment, it is up to you to ensure that
they are of proper quality and work
correctly. Every new or revised system
must be checked carefully before it is used
"in anger". Do not use the charger if
anything appears not to be in order; first
seek out the fault and eliminate it.
! Always observe the charging notes
supplied by the battery manufacturer.
! Protect the charger from dust, damp,
rain, heat and vibration.
! The charger may become hot when it is
operating.
Take care when touching the hot surfaces!
The slots in the case are designed for
cooling the charger, and must not be
covered or obstructed. The unit must not
be enclosed when operating, as this would
prevent cooling air flowing round it. The
charger should never be subjected to
direct sunshine.
! When operating, the charger and the
battery to be charged must be placed on a
non-inflammable, heat-resistant surface,
which is not electrically conductive. The
charger, battery and charge lead must not
be placed directly on the car's bodywork.
Never operate the charger in the vicinity of
highly inflammable materials.

4. General Charging Notes
• Always keep within the maximum stated
permissible charge current for your battery.
• The charge lead used must consist of cable
of generous cross-sectional area, and must
not be longer than 30 cm. The resistance of
leads which are too thin or too long may
have an adverse effect on the charge
process.
• Ensure that all electrical connections are firm
and sound. There must be no danger of
intermittent contact in the connections.
• Before you initiate the charge process check
that the selected battery mode matches the
battery type connected to the unit. Check
also that the settings are correct for the type
of battery in use.
• Never leave your batteries on charge
unsupervised.
