2.7 Although the charger is reverse polarity protected, extreme care
should always be taken not to short circuit the battery itself.
Rechargeable batteries can deliver power at a very high rate, and
short circuiting even a partially charged battery could result in a fire
or personal injury.
2.8 Do not disassemble the charger. There are no user-serviceable
parts inside. Incorrect reassembly may result in a safety hazard.
2.9 If any part of the charger has been damaged, if it has been exposed
to moisture, rain or liquid, or if it does not operate normally, you
should seek advice from your nearest Authorised PAG Service Centre,
as detailed in section 5, Servicing.
2.1 When used correctly, the Micro Charger is a safe method of charging
Li-Ion batteries within the range specified in Section 3.2. However,
incorrect treatment of the charger and its accessories could present a
safety hazard. Please read these important safety and operating
instructions before using the PAG Micro Charger.
WARNING:
2.2 IMPORTANT: The Power Supply Unit is designed for use on 100-240V,
50-60Hz AC supplies. AC supply connection to the charger should be
made using only the Power Supply Unit and plug supplied with this
charger. NOTE: The Power Supply Unit supplied with the previous
Micro Charger Model 9710 is not suitable for Models 9713 &
9713V.
2.3 The Micro Charger is designed for 5-20V DC input only. Connection to
DC supplies should be made using only the power leads supplied with
the charger. The USB charger connection must be 2A or more.
2.4 Protect any power leads from being walked on or pinched.
2.5 Disconnect the charger from the AC supply during lightning storms
or when unused for long periods of time.
2.6 WARNING: INDOOR USE ONLY. To reduce the risk of fire or electric
shock, do not expose the charger to rain or moisture.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Powering the charger from an AC input:
The charger is supplied with a Power Supply Unit that automatically
accepts AC input in the range 100-240V (See Specification 3.7).
Connection of the charger to an AC supply should be made using only
the Power Supply Unit included, fitted with the power plug supplied,
or one of the alternative power plugs available from PAG or its
resellers:
Model 9713J USA/Japan Model 9713U UK
Model 9713E Europe Model 9713A Australia
Fig. 1. Fit the appropriate plug to the Power Supply Unit and connect
the PSU to a suitable AC supply (100-240V See Specification 2.7).
Fig. 2. Connect the Power Supply Unit to the Micro Charger.
IMPORTANT: The Micro Charger must be powered-up before
connection to the battery.

of the V-Mount battery.
Fig. 3B. Slide the Gold Mount Micro Charger over the contacts on the
rear of the Gold Mount battery.
4.2 Using the DC Power Leads
The charger can be powered from DC inputs in the range 5 to 20V,
such as a 12V vehicle battery (via a dashboard lighter socket) or a
USB charger (2A). Connection to the DC input should only be made
using the DC power leads supplied.

4. Operating Instructions
10
Connect the DC power lead to the Micro Charger (See Fig. 2). Plug the
male connector into the lighter socket on the vehicle dashboard, or
plug the USB connector into the socket on the USB charger (2A).
Slide the charger over the contacts on the rear of the battery (See
Fig. 3).
4.3 The Micro Charger may be disconnected from the supply at any time in
complete safety, and without damage to the charger or any of the
batteries connected.
4.4 On power-up, the charger will automatically run a self-test program
and then the Recovery Charge program. Any batteries that do not
require the Recovery Charge program will begin charging auto-
matically.
4.5 Key to the Micro Charger colour LED status indcation:
RED (constant): No batteries connected.
ORANGE (flashing): Charging. The state-of-charge of each battery
will be indicated on its individual display.
ORANGE/GREEN (flashing): The charging process has reached its
final stage and the batteries can be removed.
GREEN (constant): All the batteries connected have received as much
charge as they can safely accept.
RED (flashing): The battery is faulty (see 4.7).
4.6 Batteries may be removed, and others connected at any time, without
affecting the operation of the charger. If a new battery is connected,
the charging sequence will be initiated automatically. The most
discharged battery will be addressed first. The order in which
batteries are connected is therefore immaterial; the charger will
ensure that all the batteries are fully-charged in due course.
4.7 If the charger detects a severely faulty battery while the charging
program is running, the battery status indicator will flash RED. This
could be caused by one of several conditions, such as a very old or
damaged battery, a short circuit battery, an excessively high or low
voltage battery, or an excessively high or low supply voltage. The
charger is reset by disconnecting it from the supply.
4.8 The charger will not recognise the connection of a battery that has a
voltage substantially outside of its range.
4.9 If the internal protection circuit of a PAG Li-Ion battery should turn-
off for any reason, the battery display will not operate, and there will
be no voltage at the battery terminals. The Micro Charger incorporates
a Recovery Charge program which will automatically turn the
protection circuit back on again.
4.10 If power fails during operation, the charger will shut down safely; no
damage will occur to either the charger or the batteries. When the
power is restored the charger will default to the main charge program.

5. Servicing
11
5.1 The PAGlink Micro Charger contains advanced electronics that do not
require periodic maintenance; consequently there are no user-
serviceable parts inside.
5.2 WARNING: To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the
charger’s Power Supply Unit. Refer all servicing or repairs to an
authorised PAG service centre.
Qualified electronics engineers who wish to gain access to internal
assemblies should note that parts of the power circuit retain a high
voltage even after the AC supply has been disconnected. Wait for a
period of five minutes following disconnection before commencing
disassembly, and be aware of charged capacitors.
5.3 Seek advice if the charger is not operating normally or if any of the
following situations occur:
• The charger is correctly connected to the power and the display is
not functioning.
• The charger ceases to operate after entering fail-safe shutdown
mode (allow it to cool before reconnecting to the supply).
• The charger has been damaged or suffered a blow.
• The charger has been exposed to moisture, rain or any other
liquid.
