IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS:
CAUTION! TO REDUCE THE RISK OF DAMAGE,
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Do not store, place, or use the charger
where it may come into contact with
excess heat, water or moisture.
High-voltage internal components present
the risk of electric shock when exposed.
Charge only on a vibration-free, dry
surface at room temperature.
Should you ever notice smoke or a
strange odor coming out of the charger,
immediately unplug the charger from
the power outlet. Using the charger
under these conditions can cause fire and
electric shock.
Do not short-circuit the terminals of your
battery or charger.
Do not attempt to disassemble any part of
the charger.
Use this charger with the specified types
of batteries only.
Safety Instructions | 7
The charger, adapters, and batteries may
feel warm during the charging process.
This is normal.
Unplug the charger from the power outlet
and clean the area around the prongs of
the plug when necessary. The presence of
dust around the prongs can cause fire.
Never use an electrical outlet whose
voltage is outside the rating marked on the
charger. Doing so can cause fire or electric
shock. Use only the supplied AC adapter or
DC car cord (optional) for the charger.
To reduce the risk of electric shock,
unplug the charger from the outlet before
attempting cleaning or when not in use.
Do not use solvents to clean the unit. They
may damage the surface and the plastic
parts of the unit. Clean the unit gently with
a soft dry cloth only.
Not recommended for use by children.

TO MAXIMIZE BATTERY
PERFORMANCE
Make sure the battery is fully
charged before use.
Clean the battery and terminals with
a clean, soft, dry cloth.
The battery may be warm during use
or recharging. This is normal.
When storing the battery for an extended
period, be sure that it is not completely
charged, nor completely discharged.
The ideal level is a 40% charge. This is
approximate; the closer the battery is to
this level, the better it will hold its charge
during storage. The battery should be stored
in a cool, dry place. The recommended
temperature for storage is 59°F (15°C). You
may store a battery in a refrigerator. Do not
store batteries in a freezer.
Remove the battery from your equipment
when not in use. Some electronic equipment
will draw current even when the switch is off.
When operation time has noticeably
shortened, the battery may need to be
replaced.
