Safety Instructions

Please read the operating instructions carefully and pay particular attention to
the safety instructions. We do not assume liability for injuries/material damag-
es resulting from failure to observe the safety instructions and the information
in these operating instructions regarding the proper handling of the product.
Furthermore, in such cases, the warranty/guarantee will be null and void.
Dear customer, the following safety instructions are intended not only for the protec-
tion of your health, but also for the protection of the product.
Therefore, please read the following points very carefully before connecting and
using the product for the first time.
a) General
• The unauthorised conversion and/or modification of the product is not allowed for
safety and approval reasons. Never dismantle the product.
• Maintenance, adjusting or repair works may only be carried out by a specialist/
specialised workshop.
There are no components for you to adjust or maintain within the device.
• The product is not a toy and should be kept out of the reach of children! The
product may only be set up, used or stored in places that are not accessible to
children. The same applies to rechargeable batteries. Children can short-circuit
the rechargeable battery/rechargeable battery pack, which may cause an explosi-
on. This presents a danger to life!
• The product design corresponds to the protection-class II (double or reinforced
isolation). Make sure that the insulation (of the casing or the output cable) is neit-
her damaged nor destroyed.
• The charger is designed to be operated with a mains socket with a supply voltage
of 100 - 240 V/AC, 50/60 Hz. Never operate the device on a different voltage/
frequency.
• The outlet must be located in direct proximity to the device and easily accessible.
• Do not pull the power plug from the mains socket by pulling on the cable!
• In schools, educational centres, hobby and self-help workshops, the operation of
the product must be supervised by trained employees.
• In commercial institutions are to be observed the accident prevention regulations
of the Employer's Liability Insurance Association for Electrical Systems and Ope-
rating Facilities.
• Do not leave the packaging materials unattended. It may become a dangerous
plaything for children!
• If in doubt about how to connect the device correctly, or should any questions arise
that are not answered in these operating instructions, please contact our technical
service or another specialist.
b) Location for Use
• The product may only be used in dry, enclosed spaces. It may not get wet or
damp; otherwise, there may be danger of electric shock!
Do not use the charger within a vehicle.
• Select a stable, flat, clean, and sufficiently large place for the charger.
Do not place the charger on a flammable surface (e.g. carpet, tablecloth). Always
use a suitable, non-flammable, heatproof base.
Do not place the charger on surface of valuable furniture without suitable protec-
tion. The impact of heat could lead to colour or material changes.
Keep the charger away from easily flammable materials (e.g. drapes, paper), li-
quids (e.g. gasoline) or gases.
• Avoid direct sunlight, strong heat or cold. Keep the product away from dust and
dirt.
• Do not use in the immediate vicinity of strong magnetic or electromagnetic fields,
transmitter aerials or HF generators. This can impact the electric control system.
• Do not place any containers filled with liquid, e.g. vases or plants, on or next to
the charger.
If these liquids get into the interior of the charger, it will be destroyed, and there is
also a high risk of a fire or an explosion.
In this case, immediately switch off at all poles the mains socket that the charger
is connected to (switch off the corresponding circuit breakers or remove the safety
fuse, then switch off the corresponding earth leakage circuit breaker).
Afterwards remove the rechargeable battery from the charger and pull the power
plug out of the mains socket.
Let the rechargeable battery and the charger dry then have them checked by a
specialist workshop or dispose of them in an environmentally compatible manner.
• Make sure that the power cable is not pinched or damaged by sharp edges. A
damaged power cable must not be used! Place the cable so that nobody can trip
over it.
c) Operation
• Only LiPo rechargeable batteries may be charged by this charger (rated voltage
per cell 3.7 V).
Never charge any other rechargeable batteries (e.g. NiMH, NiCd or lead rechar-
geable batteries) or non-rechargeable batteries. There is a great risk of fire or
explosion!
• Only connect a single rechargeable battery to the charger.
• Maintain sufficient distance from flammable objects. Allow adequate distance bet-
ween the charger and the rechargeable battery (min. 20 cm), and never put the
rechargeable battery onto the charger.
• As both the charger and the rechargeable battery heat up during the charge/di-
scharge procedure, it is necessary to ensure sufficient ventilation. Never cover the
charger or the connected rechargeable battery.
• Do not operate the appliance when it is unattended. Although there is a wide range
of comprehensive safety mechanisms on the device, it is impossible to exclude the
possibility of malfunctions or problems occurring while charging a rechargeable
battery.
