SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
To prevent damage to your CC QuickCharger-2 or possible injury to you or others, read these safety precau­tions and instructions entirely before applying power to the charger. Keep these precautions and instructions where all who use this charger will read them.
1. COMMON CARE m
Check the charger and AC-DC adapter regularly. Do not use the charger if there is any sign of damage. Only operate in accordance with the in struc tions in this manual.
2. DISCONNECT THE CHARGER IN CASE OF MALFUNCTION m
If you smell or notice smoke, disconnect the AC Adapter and let the charger cool and batteries cool before touching, to avoid burns. Contact C. Crane Company or their representative for inspection and service before any future operation. Only use the AC-DC Adapter recommended with the unit and replace it if wires become frayed or exposed. It should be a regulated 12 Volt 1Amp adapter with center tip positive. Use only the recommended adapter. Otherwise it may damage the charger or cause a fire or electric shock.
3. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN m
Dropping the charger can cause damage or injury. Keep the AC Adapter cord in a position so someone cannot trip and cause the charger to fall.
4. KEEP AWAY FROM WATER AND MOISTURE m
Keep the charger in an indoor, dry location. Liquids and moisture can damage the charger. If a liquid leaks into the charger do not operate and seek a qualified service shop. To clean the charger, remove the power and use a damp cloth on the exterior only.
5. KEEP AWAY FROM EXTREME TEMPERATURES m
Extreme temperatures can damage the charger. Do not leave or use the charger where it can be subject­ed to high or very cold temperatures.
6. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SERVICE CHARGER m
Refer all service work to a qualified service shop if the charger does not appear to operate normally, exhibits a change in performance or has received damage. Never open the charger as this may expose you to dangerous voltages and this will void all warranties.

Remove the bad bat­tery or reinsert the battery correctly, if polarity is switched.

teries in the charger compartment. The “USB Function Indicator” will be shown on the display to indicate the USB Port is ready for use.
2. Any USB device with a maximum load not exceeding 500mA can be charged. Plug a
USB cable into the USB Port and connect your desired device. (USB cable not included.)
