IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - This manual contains important safety and operating

instructions for the Model SX100-1 Battery Charger (OPTIMIZER). Before using the
battery charger, please read all instructions and cautionary markings on the battery
charger, the battery, and the product using the battery.

CAUTION - To reduce the risk of electric shock:

o Do not expose unit to rain or moisture - use indoors only.
o Do not remove cover. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Refer service to

qualified service personnel.

o Connect the battery charger directly to a grounding receptacle. An adaptor should

not be used with this unit. This unit is equipped with a power cord having an
equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug (3-prong). The plug must
be plugged into an outlet that has been properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local and national codes and ordinances.

o Disconnect charger from AC power and battery before attempting any

maintenance or cleaning. Turning off controls may not reduce this risk.

WARNING

o Do not attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries. Charge only sealed or

valve regulated, lead-acid, non-automotive, maintenance free rechargeable
batteries. Attempting to charge other types of batteries may result in personal
injury and battery damage.

o The enclosure will become hot during the charge cycle - DO NOT TOUCH!

DANGER - Never alter power cord or plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, replace
the power cord with one having the correct plug or have a proper outlet installed by an
electrician. Improper connection will result in the risk of an electric shock or fire.

Make sure cords are located so that they will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise
subjected to damage or stress. Do not operate this unit with a damaged cord or plug ­replace them immediately. To reduce the risk of damage to electric plug, pull by plug
rather than cord when disconnecting unit.

Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise
damaged in any way. Do not disassemble charger; incorrect reassembly will result in the
risk of an electric shock or fire. Refer service to qualified service personnel.

Recharge batteries in well ventilated areas to prevent build-up of explosive gases.

Allow space around unit and adequate air circulation to reduce internal heat buildup. Do
not place objects on top of the charger or restrict the airflow through the charger and do
not operate in a small, enclosed space.
