Introduction
❏ Use the charger in a dry, indoor location.
❏ Do not expose the batteries or the charger to water or
high humidity.
❏ Keep the charger and batteries away from heat sources.
Only use the charger when the temperature is between
5°C and 35°C (41°F to 95°F).
❏ Do not drop, puncture, disassemble, mutilate, or short-
circuit batteries. Do not place the batteries near to or
into fire or water.
❏ To prevent fire or explosion, do not use the charger
where flammable or volatile gas is stored. Keep the
charger out of reach of children.
❏ Power-supply cords should be protected against
abrasions, cuts, crimps, and kinks. Place your cord so
that it will not be damaged. Do not put objects on top
of the power cord or allow the power cord to be stepped
on or run over. Take special care to keep the power cord
straight near the ends and where the cord attaches to
the transformer.
❏ To protect against short-circuiting, do not remove the
outside sleeves of the batteries.
❏ Never disassemble or modify the charger.
❏ Do not attempt to service the charger yourself. Refer
all servicing to qualified service personnel.
❏ Unplug your equipment from the wall outlet and refer
servicing to qualified personnel under the following
conditions:
If the power cord or plug is damaged; if liquid has
entered your equipment; if your equipment has been
exposed to rain or water; if your equipment has been
dropped or damaged; if your equipment is operating
abnormally or exhibits a distinct change in
performance.
❏ Adjust only those controls described in your product
documentation.
❏ Do not insert batteries into the charger backwards as
they may explode, leak, overheat, or cause personal
injury.
❏ Do not insert objects into any openings as they may
touch dangerous voltage points or short-circuit
components.
❏ Prevent the batteries from coming into contact with
metal objects which could short-circuit the batteries,
such as coins or keys.
