Boost charging mode
In Boost mode, the battery is charged faster than in normal high-speed mode. Press the Boost button to activate this mode; it is indicated by a blue LED. Boost mode is recommended when the battery is needed quickly. If not needed immediately, use normal mode as it is gentler on the battery.
Wall mounting
The charger can be mounted on a wall. Use the dimensions on the back of the charger to drill holes. Maintain a distance of at least 10 cm from the wall (left and right) and 100 cm from the ceiling. Use suitable screws (e.g., 3.5 mm pan-head screws) to prevent damage and falling.
Cleaning and maintenance
Always unplug the charger before cleaning. Keep the surface clean and wipe only with a dry cloth. There are no user-serviceable parts inside; do not disassemble the device.
Disposal and recycling
Dispose of the device and its components (metal, plastic) according to local regulations. Do not dispose of electric tools in household waste. Remove batteries and light sources before disposal.
