7.2 TIMER SWITCH
The Timer switch on the upper-right turns ON
the charger by setting a time. This must be done
before the charger is plugged in.
The OFF position disconnects the output of the
charger. By rotating the dial clockwise the output
is turned ON for a duration of time determined
by the number of minutes at which the dial is set.
The HOLD function can be used if charging times
longer than 120 minutes are required. While in the
timing phase, the output can be turned off by rotat-
ing the dial counterclockwise to the OFF position.
Timer Switch
When determining charging time, refer to section 12. If the charger is plugged in when the Timer is
set, the internal fan will spin. A faint ticking sound is heard while the Timer runs.
NOTE: There is no sound when the Timer completes, except for a soft click.
