Safety Instructions
Setting up the Multi-Charger Plus
Locate or orient the AC cord so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over or subjected to damage or stress.
Analyze or charge only LXE part no. 156213-0001, 158224-0001 and 159922-0001 Rechargeable Lithium Ion
Battery Pack in this charger/analyzer. Other batteries or battery packs may burst causing injury or property damage.
Operating the Multi-Charger Plus
Only users who have read and understand all operating instructions are qualified to operate the Multi-Charger Plus.
Failure to read, understand and follow safety instructions may result in injury or death.
Keep the rear of the charger/analyzer free of obstacles and do not block the rear ventilation slots. The
charger/analyzer generates internal heat during charging.
Keep the charger/analyzer away from any heat source. Excessive internal heating can ruin the charger/analyzer.
Use care when inserting battery. Do not “slam” or slide the battery into the pocket, this could damage the
charger/analyzer.
Keep dirt and foreign objects out of the battery pocket. Do not short circuit any of the contacts in the battery pocket,
this could result in injury or property damage.
Do not operate the charger/analyzer if it has been dropped or damaged in any way. Return the charger/analyzer to
LXE.
Storing the Multi-Charger Plus
Disconnect charger/analyzer by pulling the plug; not the cord.
Maintaining the Multi-Charger Plus
Service should be performed by trained persons only. Return the charger/analyzer to LXE.

Caring for Batteries
Do not dispose of batteries into a fire. Burning will generate hazardous vapors and may cause the battery to explode.
Failure to observe this warning may result in injury from inhalation of vapors or burns from flying debris.
Do not immerse batteries in water or any other liquid. If batteries are immersed, contact LXE.
Do not disassemble or perform modifications to the battery. There are no user serviceable components in the
battery.
Do not place battery into pocket or toolbox with conductive objects (coins, keys, tools, etc.).
A battery placed on damp ground or grass could be electrically shorted. Lay the battery on its side when not in use.
Do not store batteries above 140°F (60°C) for extended periods.
Failure to observe these warnings could result in injury or damage to the battery from rapid discharge of energy or
overheating of the battery.
Electrical Shock Hazards
The following precautions should be observed to avoid the risk of electrical shock hazards associated with charging
batteries:
The Multi-Charger Plus has been designed for indoor use only. Do not operate outdoors or in extremely high
humidity environments. Do not expose charger/analyzer to rain, snow or wet conditions.
Unplug the charger/analyzer from power source before cleaning. Use only mild detergent with a slightly damp cloth
to clean the outside of the charger/analyzer. Do not use solvents or flammable cleaners. Allow the case to dry fully
before using again.
Use of attachments or accessories not recommended by LXE could result in fire, electric shock or injury.
This appliance must be properly grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord
having an equipment grounding conductor and ground outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances. Do not operate the charger/analyzer with a damaged AC cord or plug. LXE
does not recommend the use of any extension cord with the Multi-Charger Plus.
The Multi-Charger Plus has been designed for use on a nominal 100 or 120 volt or nominal 220 or 240 volt circuit
and has a grounding attachment plug. The plug is an IEC configuration that is appropriate for your country and
regulations. Make sure that the appliance is connected to an outlet having a configuration similar to the plug. No
adapter should be used with this appliance. Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result
in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance. If it will not fit in the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
Do not disassemble the Multi-Charger Plus. It contains no user serviceable parts.
