Page 8: Ctp: Flexibility Of Operation And Charger Reliability
CTP: flexibility of operation and charger reliability Due to the high charging currents developed by the CVS8X charger, heat control is an issue for a travel charger, especially if the travel charger is used in potentially hot environments such as inside a car or a van. - Page 9 Insert in the direction of the arrow Observe the LED. In addition, the charge status may be read in 20% steps through the BLUESHAPE battery LED array. Leave the battery to charge for the appropriate time (see table on page 6)
- Page 10 ADDITIONAL SAFETY NOTES Chargers and/or batteries may become hot during charging. This is normal. Please consult your BLUESHAPE dealer if you notice that either a charger or a battery, become excessively hot during the charging operation.
