OPERATION
Please insert the mains input plug (included) so that it connects to
the two power contacts located on the power supply and push the
plug until it clicks in to place (see illustration [1]). Please ensure
that you hear the input plug click into the power supply to ensure
that the unit is safe to use. Connect the power supply to the charger
with the output plug. Finally, connect the power supply to the mains
(100-240V AC 50-60Hz).
The charger is now ready for use. You can either insert up to 4
AA/AAA (or a combination of both sizes) NiMH/NiCd rechargeable
batteries or you can connect a USB cable using the USB charging
socket to charge other devices such as a mobile phone, smart phone
or MP3 player.
Insert all batteries with their correct polarity, corresponding to the
symbols in the charging slots. The charging process starts automa-
tically.
When charging of round cells is in progress, the USB charging socket
is disabled. When charging a device via USB, it is not possible to
charge any round cells!
It is normal that batteries may become warm during charging. After
charging is complete, the charger switches automatically to trickle
charge. The trickle charge compensates for the self-discharge of bat-
teries when left in the charger.
LCD DISPLAY
In the illustration [2] you can see examples of the following indi-
cations:
A) „--“ is displayed when the charger is connected to mains and there
is no battery in the charging slot or no device is connected to the USB
charging socket.
B) „CHARGE“ and the actual battery voltage in volts respectively
the charging status in 5% steps are displayed during the charging
process. The display alternates between the battery voltage and the
charging status every 5 seconds. The USB charging socket is disabled.
C) „FULL“ and the actual battery voltage in volts are displayed when
a battery is fully charged. The charger automatically switches to trick-
le charge function. The USB charging socket is still disabled.
