Operation:
Inserting the rechargeable batteries into the charging boxes and chambers:
AA and/or AAA batteries:
Remove a charging box by pressing the two vertical strips and pulling out the box at the same time. Insert up to four
AA- or AAA batteries according to the drawing in the charging box.
CAUTION: In the chamber, the (+) poles of the batteries (AA and AAA) always point to the front. Inserting a
battery in wrong polarity can damage the rechargeable battery as well as the electronics. If a battery is
inserted with wrong polarity, the red LED of this chamber flashes fast (every second) for approx. 30
seconds. Remove the battery with wrong polarity immediately and insert it again in correct direction.
After inserting the batteries into the charging box, push the box into the chamber until it latches safely and
noticeably at both sides. Press both sides carefully to ensure the box is safely inserted in the charger.
When the inserted chamber does not yet contain four AA or AAA batteries, it is no problem to pull out the chamber
and insert more batteries for charging. The charging process of the first installed batteries continues after pushing in
the box again. The micro controller detects whether a battery is defective (e. g. Internal short-circuit) and the LED
flashes every second. Please remove the defective battery and do not re-use it.
Removing batteries from the Charger:
AA and AAA rechargeable batteries:
Open the charging box where the status LED lights red (battery charged) by pressing the two vertical strips at the
box and pulling it out at the same time. Should charging of one of the batteries be interrupted by doing so, remove
the fully charged batteries and then push in the charging box again into the chamber; after that charging of the other
batteries is continued.
Switching off the Charger:
Shift power switch in position "OFF" or switch off master switch of the rack. In OFF-Position the charger needs no
standby power (0 Watts). If the charger and the batteries are not required for a longer time period, switch off the
charger to save energy and protect the environment and re-charge the batteries before using them again.
CAUTION! Never insert dry batteries or alkaline / manganese cells into the Charger, the Charger
could be damaged. In such a case FISCHER AMPS do not undertake liability for damage of the
appliance or consequential damage or loss.
Keep your Charger in a dry place (indoor use only). Do not spill liquid into the enclosure through openings. Danger
of fire and electric shock!
Do not expose appliance to direct solar radiation (danger of overheating).
The ventilation openings on top of the appliance should not be covered or blocked.
When rackmount, leave 5mm free space above the Charger so that the air can circulate to prevent buildup of heat.
Do not impede the flow of air through ventilation openings.
Do not insert hot rechargeable batteries (>40°C). Allow the batteries to cool before charging them.
There are no parts inside the appliance which need maintenance service. Do not open appliance.
Repair may only be carried out by the manufacturer.
