lead to the equipment overheating and to the
melting of plastic parts, whereby the Energy
Station could be irreparably damaged!
If it is overheated, the Energy Station could
be irreparably damaged and the risk of
a fire exists!
• This appliance must not be placed in the im-
mediate vicinity of flammable materials,
for example curtains, inflammable liquids etc.
• Do not place any open sources of fire,
like candles, on the appliance.

a fall or is damaged. Arrange for the appliance
to be checked and, if necessary, repaired by
qualified technicians.
Start-up
The Energy Station is supplied with a low-level pre-
charged battery. Prior to initial usage it must therefore
be charged.
Attention!
The battery can lose considerable capacity should
you use the Energy Station without fully charging it
beforehand!
• Before taking the appliance into use, check to
ensure that the Energy Station, the connection
cables

and the power supply unit

are in
a defect-free condition.
Danger!
NEVER use a damaged connection cable. Risk of
short circuit!
Charging with the mains power plug
Attention: Explosive Gas
Avoid flames and sparks. During charging, ensure
that there is sufficient ventilation.
1. Insert the appliance plug of the power supply
unit

in the charging socket DC-INPUT w at
the back of the appliance.
2. Connect the power supply unit

to a mains
power socket. The mains voltage must conform
with the specifications on the ratings plate of the
power supply unit.
3. Place the main switch 2 at the front of the appli-
ance to the “CHA” position. The Energy Station is
now being charged.
4. While the Energy Station is charging, the red LED
“On” 6 in the field CHARGE will be illuminated.
5. When the battery is nearly fully charged, the
green LED “Full” 6 will start to be faintly illumi-
nated. As soon as it is fully illuminated you can
remove the power supply unit

. The red LED
"On" 6 continues to glow until you place the
main switch 2 in the position "OFF".
Charging with the vehicle adapter
You can also charge the Energy Station by con-
necting the supplied vehicle adapter

to the
12V on-board voltage system of a motor vehicle or
sports boat:
1. First insert the appliance plug of the 12V vehicle
adapter

in the charging socket w at the rear
of the appliance.
