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 insert 1-8 AA/AAA (or combination
of both sizes) NiMH or NiCd rechargeable batteries. You can also connect a USB
cable using the USB port to charge other devices such as a mobile phone, smart
phone or MP3 player. Insert all batteries with correct polarity corresponding to
the symbols in the charging slot. The charging process starts automatically. If
desired, press the “DISCHARGE” button to discharge all inserted batteries before
charging. Once a battery is discharged it will automatically be recharged. If you
select the discharge function, all batteries which you insert while a discharging
or charging process is running will be discharged before charging. If this is not
required, press the “DISCHARGE” button again and all inserted batteries will
be charged.
It is normal that batteries may become warm during charging. Once a battery is
fully charged, the charger automatically switches to trickle charge. The trickle
charge prevents self discharge of the batteries when left in the charger.
