removed before a complete charge has been reached, the
charger will continue indicating the last complete charging
phase for up to 1 minute. After that time, and ‘Error’
indication will appear on the LED’s, shown by the MED and
MAX LED’s coming on together while the HI LED is off (see
diagram 6).
The Error Condition will also be indicated if the charger senses
any problem with the battery being charged. To reset the
error condition, unplug the charger from the power adapter
for a few seconds, then reconnect it to the power adapter. If
the Error occurs again, there may be a defect in the battery
that will prevent safely charging.

TROUBLE SHOOTING TIPS:
• Batteries should be replaced when runtime
becomes short.
• If the LED status indicator does not light up when the
charger is plugged into either supplied power adapter,
recheck the connections and make sure that the AC
socket or cigarette lighter has power.
• If the battery is attached, and the status indicator is
showing “Stand By” (indicated by the MED light
flashing and all other lights off), the battery may not be
making proper contact to the adapter plate. Unplug the
unit and check that the battery is attached correctly.
Also, make sure the adapter plate is the proper one and
that it is securely attached to the charger base.
• Use clean dry cloth when necessary to keep the metal
contacts of both charger and battery clean.
CAUTIONS:
• For use with 7.2
Use with other type batteries voids warranty, may cause damage
to the charger/battery and possibly cause injury to the user.
• For best battery life, we suggest recharging Li-Ion batteries
after use and before storage.
•
Do not leave battery connected to camcorder or camera when
not in use.
Do not leave the battery connected to the charger for prolonged
•
periods. Remove the battery after charge is complete.
• Unplug the charger when not in use.
• Do not use, place or store the charger where it may come into
contact with water or moisture.
Always replace frayed or damaged wire and broken plugs immediately.
•
• Use this charger with the power adapters included in the
package only.
• It is not necessary or recommended to discharge a Li-Ion
prior to charge.
• No user serviceable parts, opening chassis will void warranty.
Note: Batteries will self discharge when not in use whether they are installed in
a camcorder, digital camera or not. Batteries can be kept fresh if you recharge
them every 2-3 months.

INTRODUCTION
The ER-CH2 Rapid Charger is a highly advanced
and fully automatic battery charger which is
compatible with 7.2 / 7.4 Volt Lithium-Ion
batteries for camcorders and digital cameras from
Sony, Canon, Sharp and Panasonic. The ER-CH2
Rapid Charger features microprocessor controlled
Neotherm™ active pulse rapidcharging to charge
your battery approximately three times faster than
other chargers. Not only will it charge the battery
safely and reliably, it will prolong battery life.
Charging progress, MAX charge and error
conditions are all provided by the LED indicators.
Flexible power input allows you to use the ER-CH2
Rapid Charger from home or overseas with its
110V-240V AC Universal Power Supply, or on the
road using the DC Cigarette Lighter Adapter
included.
OPERATION
Getting Ready
Choose the adapter plate for the type of Li-Ion (Lithium-Ion)
battery you will be charging (see Figure 1). Attach the selected
adapter plate to the charger unit by aligning the slots on the
adapter plate bottom with the fingers on the charger base. While
pressing down lightly on the adapter plate, slide the plate toward
the front of the charger base until it locks (see Figure 2).

CHARGING YOUR BATTERY
StandBy Mode:
flash the LED on the left, marked MED, indicating that the
charger is standing by and waiting for a battery to be connected
(see diagram 1).
Once a battery has been properly connected to the appropriate
adapter plate, the charger will determine the status of the battery and
begin the proper phase of the charging cycle. There are 3 phases
to the charge cycle. The battery may be removed during any of
the charging phases without harm to the battery or charger unit.
Without any battery installed, the charger will

MED (left) to MAX (right) (see diagram 2). If the battery is low,
this will be the first charge phase. With high capacity batteries,
this phase can sometimes be the longest of the 3 phases.
Similarly, with some low capacity batteries and batteries reaching
the end of their life, this phase can be very short.
Note: When the battery is first connected, the LED’s may instantly indicate MED,
HI or MAX charge depending on the charge status of the battery. The process will
continue normally from that point forward.
Note: It is normal for the charger, AC adapter, or the battery to become warm
during charging.
Phase II – MED Charge:
and other LED’s are flashing in sequence (see diagram 3). At
this point the battery is typically about 50% charged. Some
very small capacity batteries (650mAh) and worn out batteries
can be as low as 10% charged.
HI Charge:
Phase III
MAX LED is flashing (see diagram 4). At this point the battery
is typically, about 70% charged.
