Warning
To reduce the risk of injury, use only rechargeable nickel cadmium or nickel metal cells
and packs with the T35-GFX. Any other type of battery may burst and cause personal
injury.
DO NOT leave the T35-GFX unattended. The remote possibility of an electronic failure
could cause extreme overcharge. This could cause a cell to burst and cause a fire hazard.
The T35-GFX is designed to provide data about rechargeable nickel cadmium and nickel
metal batteries. In order to simulate high discharge rates obtained during racing, the T35-
GFX is designed to discharge at high currents. While the methods used in the T35-GFX
are common in selecting cells, excessive heat generated during the process may cause
damage to the cells or cause them to vent battery acids. To reduce the risk of injury,
ALWAYS WEAR SAFEY GLASSES when operating the T35-GFX. Since the cells are
extremely hot, be careful not to handle the cells until cooled.
Always make sure all the cells in the pack are in the same state of discharge before
charging a pack. Otherwise, the cells that are partially charged before charging will get
extremely hot and may be damaged or vent battery acids.
Check your battery pack occasionally for overheating. If the cells are too hot to touch,
there is something wrong and the pack must be disconnected from the charger.
Competition Electronics, Inc. shall not be liable for any property damage or personal
injury which may result from the failure to follow these instructions or other improper
use of this product.
