• Do not carry a battery pack in your pocket, purse, or other container where metal objects (such as car key or paper clips) could short-circuit the battery terminals. The resulting excessive current flow can cause extremely high temperatures and may result in damage to the battery pack or cause fire or burns.

• The battery poses a burn hazard if you handle it improperly. Do not disassemble it. Handle a damaged or leaking battery pack with extreme care. If the battery is damaged, electrolyte may leak out from the cells and may cause personal injury.

• Keep the battery away from children.

• Do not store or leave your Charger, battery pack, or battery charger near a heat source such as a radiator, fireplace, stove, electric heater, or other heat-generating appliance or otherwise expose it to temperatures in excess of 70°C (Operating temperature-10°C ~ +45°C or Storage temperature-20°C ~ +70°C). When heated to excessive temperatures, battery cells could explode or vent, posing a risk of fire.

• Do not dispose of your battery in a fire or with normal household waste. Battery cells may explode. Discard a used battery according to the manufacturer's instructions or contact your local waste disposal agency for disposal instructions. Dispose of a depleted or damaged battery promptly.

Safety: When Using Your Battery Charger

Observe the following safe-handling guidelines to prevent damage to your battery charger:

• Charger Main Power Board:

• Protect your battery charger from environmental hazards such as dirt, dust, food, liquids,

temperature extremes, and overexposure to sunlight.

• When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain-relief loop, not on the cable itself. As you pull out the connector, keep it evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before you connect a cable make sure both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.

Safety: Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge

Static electricity can harm electronic components inside your battery charger. To prevent static damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you touching any of your battery charger's electronic components such as connectors.

You can do so by touching any unpainted metal surface.

Key Features:

The charger can charge a wide range brand of radio batteries at CC (constant current) for Ni-MH/NI-CD battery packs, and CC-CV for Li-Ion battery packs.

This charger will self-testing based on the temperature and the protection function of overcharge and over-discharged. If test passes, it will go on charging progress, or it will only charge the battery with very low current.

A.     Activate function    

If the rechargeable battery's voltage is too low in hibernation, it would turn into short -time strong current charging to activate the battery. This progress would last about 3minutes. If the voltage recovered in 3minutes, the charging will go normal instantly. In this progress, the indicator will be flashing RED.  

B.      Voltage in saturation     

If the voltage of the battery is saturated, the charger automatically makes an inspection of it. The light will flash Green if it is saturated.

C.     Higher or Lower Temperature

When the battery has gotten a lower temperature, the charging would go on with a micro-current until it returned to normal. Then proceed to high-current charging.
