Care for your battery charger
Every day
Check that your battery charger is clean. If you
notice any dust or dirt:
Unplug the power adaptor and remove any
1
battery modules.
2
Hold the battery charger upside down and tap
it gently to remove any dirt from the battery
charger sockets. Carefully blowing on the
battery charger sockets may also help remove
dirt.
Wipe the battery charger sockets with a soft
3
dry cloth.
Cycle batteries in different sockets when
recharging to wear the sockets evenly.
If it gets wet
If the battery charger ever gets splashed with
liquid, carefully shake out the liquid and dry the
battery charger for 24 hours. Do not use the
battery charger until it is dry.
