4. Operation

Note - 12 V Vehicle Electrical System

The charger is suitable for a 12 V vehicle electrical system.

Warning - Connecting Devices

• Before connecting a device, check whether it can be adequately supplied with the charger's current capacity.
• Only operate the product on a vehicle socket that has been approved for this. The vehicle socket (12V) must always be easily accessible.
• On some types of vehicle, the ignition must be switched on for the voltage to travel to the 12V vehicle socket. For more information, please refer to your vehicle's owner's manual.
• Disconnect all cable and vehicle electrical system connections after use.
• Note the instructions in your device's operating manual.

Unless different instructions have been expressly given in the operating instructions for the devices you are charging, proceed as follows:

• Without connecting it to the socket, determine the mechanical compatibility between the universal power supply unit's adapter and the connection socket on the device.
• Observe the polarity of the connection socket on the device and plug the adapter in accordingly (see Fig. 2).
• Set the voltage selector switch to the voltage required by your terminal device. Do not change the voltage again during operation of the power supply unit in combination with a terminal device.
• Plug the universal power supply unit into the socket provided for it.
• The terminal device can now be used and switched on.

The product has a replaceable fuse. Always replace this fuse with the same type of fuse with the same electrical values (see Fig. 3).

Note on Connection to Possible Devices

• Before connecting a device, check that this can be supplied sufficiently with the power supply unit's current output.
• Check whether the device intended for mains operation is compatible with the pin assignment of the universal power supply unit. If necessary, ask the dealer who supplied your terminal device or contact your terminal device manufacturer's support service.

Note - Car Battery

With some vehicles, it can happen that power continues to be supplied even though the ignition has been switched off. You should therefore disconnect the product from the line connection when not in use to protect your car battery from being drained.

5. Care and Maintenance

• Only use soft, dry towels to clean the product.

Note

Disconnect the device from the mains before cleaning and during prolonged periods of non-use.
