[. . . ] For operational reasons these connections are not protected ­ this means that very high currents can flow (over 15 A). · Never open the housing of the energy station. · Only use the supplied connection cables. Others could possibly be not safe enough. [. . . ] · A red LED "Empty" is illuminated as soon as the main switch is switched on ­ but the battery is almost empty.

Cooler boxes usually have a power consumption of 3 - 4 A per hour. With a battery capacity of 7 Ah, this corresponds to just under 2 hours of operating time. You can roughly estimate the operating time for your device using this calculation example.

You can - use this cable if the jack on your device is marked thus: - not use this cable if the jack on your device is marked thus: On devices with permanently connected cable with motor vehicle connector, "Positive" and "Negative" have the correct polarity. · Insert the device connector of the supplied cable in the jack on your device. · Insert the motor vehicle connector . . . · in the motor vehicle socket on the energy station. [. . . ] This can severely damage the energy station ­ and there is even the danger of electric shock on the mains charging adapter. - 11 - IB_KH3002_E2497_UK_V1. qxd 17. 01. 2007 9:18 Uhr Seite 12 KH 3002 Disposal Do not dispose of the device in normal domestic waste.
