USE INDOORS ONLY! NEVER expose the charger

to rain, snow or any liquids.

• NEVER let metal, wire, etc. touch any internal part of

the charger.

• NEVER incinerate used batteries. This may cause an

explosion.

• NEVER use the charger when it is covered by objects

which impede heat dispersal.

• Place the charger in a secure place to avoid inadver-

tent use by children.

• AVOID charging in extreme cold (under 0°C; +32°F)

or extreme heat (over +45°C; +113°F). Batteries may

not charge fully under extreme temperatures.

• Keep the charger away from TV sets or radios to pre-

vent interference.

•

NEVER attempt to charge alkaline or dry cell bat-

teries. They may burst causing damage and personal

injury.

Make sure battery and charger contacts are always

clean, otherwise batteries may not fully charge.

In order to get the maximum life out of your Ni-Cd bat-

teries:

1. Avoid overcharging—batteries must be removed

from the BC-137 to stop charging. Batteries should

not be charged for more than 15 hours.

2. Use the batteries until they become almost com-

pletely exhausted under normal conditions.

If your batteries seem to have no capacity even after

being fully charged, completely discharge them, then

fully charge them again. If they still do not retain a

charge (or very little), new batteries must be pur-

chased.

NOTE: When charging with a DC power supply

(13.8 V) and the ambient temperature is near 0°C

(+32°F), in some cases the charging LED may go

out. This does not indicate a malfunction.
