• Do not use a docking station if after an overnight charge, the battery feels warmer than
the charger housing. The dock should be inspected by qualified service personnel.
• Do not use a docking station if the battery, while charging, becomes more
than lukewarm.
6.4.2 Installation: Chargers And Docking Stations
When installing a charger or docking station, consider the following guidelines.
• Keep chargers and docking stations away from excessive dirt, dust and contaminants.
• Chargers will not charge batteries outside an ambient temperature range of 0°C to 40°C
(32°F to 104°F). It is recommended that the charger or docking station be operated at
room temperature—between 18°C and 25°C (64°F to 77°F) for maximum performance.
After unpacking your unit:
• Visually inspect the charger for possible damage.
• Install the IEC power cord and apply power.
6.4.3 Power Consumption Considerations
Check to ensure the mains circuit supplying chargers and/or docking stations is adequate for
the load, especially if several chargers and docking stations are being powered from the
same circuit.
• Quad docking station can consume up to 1.9A @ 120VAC or 1.5A @ 240VAC.
