• The product may only be used in dry indoor rooms. It must not get wet or damp, otherwise
there may be danger of electric shock!
• Use under adverse ambient conditions must be avoided under all circumstances.
Unfavourable ambient conditions are: Ambient temperatures over 40°C, combustible gases,
solvents, vapours, dust, humidity exceeding 80% rel. air humidity, as well as damp.
• Select a stable, level, sufficiently large surface for the charging adapter. Never place the
charger on a flammable surface (e.g. carpet). Always use a suitable, non-flammable, heat-
proof base.
• Do not use the charging adapter in the vicinity of flammable materials.
• Do not operate the product when it is unattended. Although there are a wide range of com-
prehensive safety mechanisms on the device, it is impossible to exclude the possibility of mal-
functions or problems occurring while charging a battery.
Disconnect the device from the power supply after use (disconnect the mains adapter from
the mains socket).
• Only use the device in a moderate climate, do not use it in a tropical climate.
• Ensure there is sufficient ventilation during use; never cover the device.
• Never charge rechargeable batteries in boxes or containers or in insufficiently ventilated
rooms. Explosive gases can be generated during the charging process!
• Keep the charging adapter and rechargeable batteries away from ignition sources or naked
flames, do not smoke during handling and use of the charging adapter and rechargeable bat-
teries! There is a risk of explosion!
• Never use the product immediately after it has been brought from a cold room into a warm
one. Thereby, condensation water forms, which may not only lead to malfunctions but also?
gives rise to a risk of a life-threatening electric shock!
Let the device (and rechargeable batteries) reach room temperature first, before connecting
it to the mains adapter and start-up. This may take several hours!
Notes on rechargeable batteries
• The product is only intended for charging 9V Li-ion batteries that correspond to the specifi-
cations in chapter „Technical Data“. Never try to charge other accumulators (such as NiCd,
NiMH, LiPo) or normal batteries! There is a risk of fire and explosion!
• Please pay attention to all the safety and installation instructions in these operating instruc-
