PRECAUTIONS FOR CHARGER

1. Always charge the battery at an ambient temperature

of 10–40°C. A temperature of less than 10°C will result

in over charging which is dangerous. The battery

cannot be charged at a temperature greater than 40°C.

The most suitable temperature for charging is that

of 20–25°C.

2. Do not use the charger continuously.

When one charging is completed, leave the charger

for about 15 minutes before the next charging of

battery.

3. Do not charge the battery for more than 2 hours.

4. Do not allow foreign matter to enter the hole for

connecting the rechargeable battery.

5. Never disassemble the rechargeable battery or charger.

6. Never short-circuit the rechargeable battery.

Short-circuiting the battery will cause a great electric

current and overheat. It results in burn or damage

to the battery.

7. Do not dispose of the battery in fire.

If the battery is burnt, it may explode.

of the charger.

Inserting metal objects or flammable into the charger

air ventilation slots will result in an electrical shock

hazard or damage to the charger.
