PRECAUTIONS FOR CHARGER
1. Always charge the battery at an ambient temperature
of 0–40°C. A temperature of less than 0°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 allow foreign matter to enter the hole for
connecting the rechargeable battery.
4. Never disassemble the rechargeable battery or
charger.
5. 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.
6. Do not dispose of the battery in fi re.
If the battery is burnt, it may explode.
7. Using an exhausted battery will damage the charger.
8. Bring the battery to the shop from which it was
purchased as soon as the post-charging battery life
becomes too short for practical use. Do not dispose of
the exhausted battery.
9. Do not insert objects into the air ventilation slots of the
charger.
Inserting metal objects or fl ammable into the charger
air ventilation slots will result in an electrical shock
hazard or damage to the charger.
