Setting Up the Unit
Mounting the Battery Charger
This battery charger is designed so that it can be mounted on a flat
surface. The unit has four mounting holes at the corners of the unit.
CAUTION – To reduce the risk of product damage:
• Ensure that all installation and operating instructions and safety
precautions are understood and carefully followed by anyone
mounting or using the battery charger. Follow the steps outlined in
the "Important Safety Instructions" section of this manual.
• Always disconnect the charger at AC power source and at battery
terminal before mounting the unit.
• When the battery charger is mounted, do not hang anything additional
on the battery charger or risk of breakage may occur.
1. Position the unit as desired on a flat wall surface near a functioning
AC outlet. Make sure the surface is flat and free of obstruction so
the unit rests flush with the surface. Mark a dot on the wall through
each of the four mounting holes on the front of the unit.

2. Using an 0.2-inch (5mm) diameter bit, drill one hole for each of the
dots marked on the wall to a depth of approximately 1.18-1.37
inches (35-40mm).
3. Install a wall anchor (not Included) in each of the holes. Check that
the wall anchors are fully and securely inserted into the wall.
4. Make sure the unit is mounted in the correct direction. Align and
screw one PA3x60 screw (not Included) into each of the wall
anchors through the four screw holes on the front of the unit. Do
not over-tighten as this will damage the housing.
Using the Hanging Hook
The hanging hook allows you to position the battery charger for
convenient, hands-free operation; and can also be detached from the
unit for easy storage.
To detach the hanging hook, press and hold the hook release button
and lift the hook out of the hook slot.
To reattach, gently snap the hook back into the hook slot.
CAUTION – To reduce the risk of product damage:
• When the battery charger is hung by the hanging hook, do not shake
the charger or object that it is hanging from.
• Do not hang the charger from any electrical wires or anything that
it is not secure.
• Only use the hanging hook for hanging the charger. The hanging hook
is not intended to support additional weight. Do not hang anything
additional to the hanging hook or risk of breakage may occur.
