BATTERY CHARGER
BC-146
Thank you for purchasing the BC-146 BATTERY CHARGER. The BC-146 charges a Ni-Cd or a NiMH battery pack. (Max. charging time approx. 18.5 hrs; depending on battery pack)
Please read these instructions thoroughly before operating the BC-146.
CAUTION
•RUSE INDOORS ONLY! NEVER expose the charger to rain, snow or any liquids.
•NEVER let metal, wire, etc. touch any internal part of the charger.
•NEVER incinerate used batteries. This may cause an explosion.
•NEVER use the charger when it is covered by objects which impede heat dispersal.
•Place the charger in a secure place to avoid inadvertent use by children.
•AVOID charging in extreme cold (under 0°C; +32°F) or extreme heat (over +45°C; +113°F). Batteries may not charge fully under extreme temperatures.
•Keep the charger away from TV sets or radios to prevent interference.
•RNEVER attempt to charge alkaline or dry cell batteries. They may burst causing damage and personal injury.
Make sure battery and charger contacts are always clean, otherwise batteries may not fully charge.
In order to get the maximum life out of your batteries:
1.Avoid overcharging—batteries must be removed from the BC-146 to stop charging. Batteries should not be charged for more than 24 hours.
2.Use the batteries until they become almost completely exhausted under normal conditions.
If your batteries seem to have no capacity even after being fully charged, completely discharge them, then fully charge them again. If they still do not retain a charge (or very little), new batteries must be purchased.
