consumers (note the maximum power consump-
tion) which are also intended for a motor vehicle's
12 V connection. It is not suitable for use as a
permanent 12 V power supply (e.g. on gate and
barrier systems etc.) or as a replacement for tool
batteries (e.g. cordless screwdrivers etc.).
The battery charger is designed only for mobile
use and not for installation in vehicles or for stati-
onary use.
The equipment is to be used only for its prescri-
bed purpose. Any other use is deemed to be a
case of misuse. The user / operator and not the
manufacturer will be liable for any damage or inju-
ries of any kind caused as a result of this.
Please note that our equipment has not been de-
signed for use in commercial, trade or industrial
applications. Our warranty will be voided if the
machine is used in commercial, trade or industrial
businesses or for equivalent purposes.

5. Operation
Before you connect the equipment to the power
supply make sure that the data on the specifi ca-
tions label are identical to the supply voltage.
Danger! Do not charge any frozen batteries.
Please also refer to the instructions in the
owner's manuals for the car, radio, navigation
GB
system, etc.
Notes on automatic charging
(charging programs 12V STD, 12V AGM, 12V
Winter, 12 V M, 12V LFP)
The charger is a microprocessor controlled au-
tomatic charger, i.e. it is suitable in particular for
charging maintenance-free batteries and for the
long-term charging and maintenance-charging of
batteries which are not in constant use, e.g. for
classic cars, recreational vehicles, lawn tractors
and the like. The integrated microprocessor ena-
bles charging in several steps. The fi nal charging
step, maintenance charging, maintains the batte-
ry capacity at 95–100% and therefore keeps the
battery fully charged at all times. The charging
operation does not need to be monitored. How-
ever, do not leave the battery unattended if you
charge it over an extended period of time, so that
you can disconnect it from the mains power sup-
ply in the event of a fault in the charger.
