RUSE 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 0C; +32F) or extreme heat (over +45C; +113F). Batteries may not charge fully under extreme temperatures. Keep the charger away from TV sets or radios to pre- vent interference. RNEVER 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 overchargingbatteries 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 0C (+32F), in some cases the charging LED may go out. This does not indicate a malfunction.
