Please read these instructions concerning your safety
BLUESHAPE lithium-ion battery chargers have been designed to
provide a superior performance by managing relatively high currents
during their operation in order to reduce charging time. As may be
expected, the chargers become warm during operation and it is
therefore very important to keep their ventilation openings
unobstructed.
DANGER
ELECTRIC SHOCK
To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to
the charger and battery, charge only those
lithium-ion rechargeable batteries specifically
designated on your charger’s label. Other types
of batteries may burst, causing personal injury or
damage

misuse of the products and possible injury or
damage
 Do not handle charger, including the charger plug and charger
terminals with wet hands.
 This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance
by a person responsible for their safety.
 Do not use the charger outdoors or expose it to wet or damp
conditions. Water entering the charger will increase the risk of
electric shock.
 Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the battery-
charger manufacturer may result in a risk of fire, electric shock,
or injury to persons.
 Do not abuse the cord or charger. Never use the cord to carry
the charger. Do not pull the charger cord to disconnect the plug
from a receptacle. Damage to the cord or charger could occur
and create an electric shock hazard. Replace damaged cords
immediately.

3
 Make sure that the cord is located so that it will not be stepped
on, tripped over, come in contact with sharp edges or moving
parts, or otherwise be subjected to damage or stress. This will
reduce the risk of accidental falls, which could cause injury and
damage to the cord, which could then result in electric shock.
 Do not operate the charger with a damaged cord or plug, which
could cause shorting and electric shock. If damaged, have the
charger repaired or replaced by an authorized BLUESHAPE
repair service centre.
 Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, been
dropped, or has otherwise been damaged in any way. Take it to
an authorized service technician for an electrical check to
determine if the charger is in good working order.
 Do not disassemble the charger. Take it to an authorized service
technician when service or repair is required. Incorrect
reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
 Unplug the charger from the electrical outlet before attempting
any maintenance or cleaning to reduce the risk of electric shock.
 Disconnect charger from the power supply when not in use. This
will reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the charger if
metal items should fall into the opening. It will also help prevent
damage to the charger during a power surge Do not touch the
uninsulated portion of output connector or uninsulated battery
terminal.
 Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A
charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a
risk of fire when used with another battery pack.

Notes concerning charger usage with
BLUESHAPE battery packs
It is recommended that the users always have at least another spare
battery readily available.
It is preferable to charge batteries immediately before use.
Some loss from self-discharge would result if the batteries are
charged several weeks in advance of their use. However, this slight
loss can be topped up at any time without any degradation of battery
performance (no memory effect).
It is recommended to store batteries in a cool and dry place.
Charging should be done at temperatures above 0°C and below
45°C.
Slight heating of the battery is expected to occur during charge.
However if for some reason, the pack temperature reaches 60°C,
then the charge activity is suspended. The pack resumes normal
charging once the temperature drops back to below 50°C. This is a
safety feature incorporated in all BLUESHAPE battery packs

15
Disposal
When the equipment has reached the end of its life please dispose of
the components in accordance with your local waste directive in your
country. Electronic equipment should be recycled wherever possible
and not disposed of with regular waste.
