7.2 TIMER SWITCH

The

Timer switch on the upper-right turns ON

the charger by setting a time. This must be done

before the charger is plugged in.

The

OFF position disconnects the output of the

charger. By rotating the dial clockwise the output

is turned

ON for a duration of time determined

by the number of minutes at which the dial is set.

The

HOLD function can be used if charging times

longer than 120 minutes are required. While in the

timing phase, the output can be turned off by rotat-

ing the dial counterclockwise to the

OFF position.

Timer Switch

When determining charging time, refer to section 12. If the charger is plugged in when the Timer is

set, the internal fan will spin. A faint ticking sound is heard while the Timer runs.

NOTE: There is no sound when the Timer completes, except for a soft click.
