Great Planes Triton Jr. Charger - GPMM3152 User Manual
Page 21
Holes are designed in the case to allow hot air to escape to help keep the electronic circuitry cool. This helps to maintain
accurate operation and maximize the lifespan of the charger itself. CAUTION: Do not block the vent holes during operation,
as it could cause the charger to overheat and possibly cause permanent damage.
ERROR INDICATIONS AND SAFETY FEATURES
Triton Jr. uses solid-state circuitry to protect against potential damage which could be caused by short-circuit or reverse
polarity conditions. If power is connected backwards to Triton Jr.’s input, the screen may turn black and no other operation
will occur, but it will be protected from damage. Re-check all input connections to make sure it is connected properly.
The following warning / error messages are designed to show on-screen to protect the charger and battery from damage
due to improper connection, input voltage, etc. These messages will be accompanied by lout tones on the buzzer. When
any message appears, refer to the corresponding problem and solution explanation. Press ENTER to clear the warning.
