Safety Notes
Please read the entire Manual completely before using, to make sure you can use this device properly and more safely.
DX8 is a dual port charger, but this does not mean you can charge/discharge any configuration
of the two sets of batteries! You must follow these rules: two battery packs without any external
electrical connections, otherwise they could permanently damage the charger or batteries. For
example: when charging a 12-cell battery pack, you must split it into two separate 6-cell, and
you must never charge two 6-cell battery packs in series by connecting with CH-1 and CH-2
respectively.
DX8 input power cannot have fast voltage/current fluctuations, which may cause output over
current, and will damage the charger and/or the batteries and input power source in extreme
cases. For example: setting the input protection current and voltage is necessary according to
the specifications of the input power supply, in order not to cause power overload. Some power
supply overload protection circuits will produce substantial fluctuations in the supply voltage.
1
Keep the charger away from children and pets at all times.
2
Never leave the charger unsupervised when charging or discharging. If you leave, disconnect the battery and switch off
charger to prevent any unexpected dangers or damage.
3
Ensure the charger program and settings match the battery pack otherwise the battery will be damaged and a dangerous
situation may arise, especially for Lithium batteries, which may cause a fire.
4
Do not mix batteries of different types, different capacities or from different manufacturers.
5
Do not disassemble the charger.
6
Do not place the charger or any battery on a flammable surface or near a combustible material while in use. Do not
charge or discharge on a carpet, cluttered workbench, paper, plastic, vinyl, leather or wood, inside an R/C model or
inside a full-sized automobile.
7
Never block the air intake holes and never use in a refrigerated or high temperature environment. If used in such an
environment, the internal temperature protection may result in abnormal charging/discharging that could be dangerous.
8
Do not allow water, moisture, metal wires or other conductive material into the charger.
9
Never charge or discharge any battery having evidence of leaking, expansion/swelling, damaged outer cover or case,
color-change or distortion.
10
Do not try to charge “non-rechargeable” dry cells.
11
Do not exceed the battery manufacturer’s suggested maximum charge rates.
12
Carefully follow the battery pack manufacturer’s recommendations and safety advice.
