SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Please read all safety instructions before using this charger. For best results, be
aware of all warnings on the charger, the battery pack, and the product using the
battery pack. Follow the provided operating instructions, and retain them for future
reference.
• Do not disassemble the charger. Incorrect reassembly can cause fi re or electric
shock.
• Use of an attachment not recommended by nor sold by KENWOOD can cause
fi re, electric shock, or injury.
• Do not expose the charger to rain or moisture, to avoid the risk of fi re or electric
shock.
• Do not use an extension cable unless absolutely necessary. Improper extension
cables can cause fi re or electric shock. If an extension cable is required, observe
the following points:
a) The quantity, size, and shape of pins on the extension cable plugs must be
the same as on the AC adapter supplied with the charger.
b) The extension cable must be properly wired and in good electrical condition.

clean the charger. Removing the battery packs or changing the controls does not

subjected to damage.
• Always remove the AC adapter from an AC wall outlet by pulling on the adapter
rather than the cable.
• Do not use the charger if it has a damaged AC adapter or adapter cable, or if
the charger has been damaged in any way. Contact your KENWOOD dealer to
replace or repair the damaged part.
