1. Intended use
This appliance is intended for charging Ni-Cd / Ni-MH
rechargeable batteries of Size Micro AAA, Mignon AA,
Baby C, Mono D and 9V battery packs, for personal and
household purposes.
It is not intended for charging commercial type batteries
(even rechargeable types), or lithium-ion batteries, or for
use in commercial or industrial applications.
Risk of injury!
Never load commercially available non-chargeable
batteries into the appliance – these can overheat and
explode.

2. Safety instructions!
• Never leave the appliance to charge unsupervised.
Batteries become hot once they are fully charged.
Overcharged or faulty batteries can overheat and
explode.
• Never touch batteries when they are hot – they might
explode while they are being taken out. First disconnect the appliance from the power supply and allow
the batteries to cool before taking them out.
• Never expose the appliance to other sources of heat,
such as direct sunshine or heaters. This will prevent
the batteries from overheating prematurely.
• Set up the appliance in dry rooms only, never in humid
areas. Otherwise there could be danger of death from
electric shock.
• If the appliance is not working or is damaged, it should
no longer be used. Have it repaired by customer service.
• If the power cord is damaged: The power cord cannot
be repaired – have it replaced by customer service
before using the appliance again.
• Never open the casing, there are no operating
elements inside. Warning! Risk of accident!
• Do not allow children or elderly persons to play with
the appliance unsupervised, since these are not always
able to assess the dangers correctly. Batteries can
represent a considerable danger for children, who
might put the batteries in their mouth (they contain
poisonous heavy metals), or short-circuit them while
playing with them.

4. Charging batteries
Danger: Only charge batteries identified by the letters
"Ni-Cd" or "Ni-MH" .
Never charge other types of batteries, even if these
are "rechargeable". Such batteries require a quite different
type of technology!
If you place these batteries in Ni-Cd/Ni-MH battery
chargers, they can overheat and explode.
a) Inserting batteries
• Place the batteries the right way up, as indicated in the
charging slots. Otherwise the charging process cannot
start.
Ni-Cd batteries should only be recharged when they are
almost completely discharged. Otherwise, a "memory
effect" is created, where the batteries reduce their
capacity to the lower level at which they are actually
used. Ni-MH are not susceptible to the "memory effect".
b) Test the batteries first!
If you do not know how charged or discharged your
batteries are, you can test them as follows:
Move the switch to the far left, to the position with
the "Test" symbol.
The test indicator light at the symbol is lit brightly
if the battery is sufficiently charged. If the test indicator
light is lit only faintly or not at all, then the battery is
almost completely discharged or flat.
Note: Only insert the battery in the slot on the far left is
tested. If you would like to test the other batteries as well,
they must be inserted one after the other into this slot.
The test function is not available for 9V single block
batteries!

c) Discharge Ni-Cd batteries first
Ni-Cd batteries that are not fully discharged should be
discharged first, to avoid the possibility of "memory
effects".
If you have inserted up to 4 Ni-Cd batteries,
move the switch to the far right, to the position
with the "Discharge" symbol.
Allow the Ni-Cd batteries to discharge until the
test indicator light is barely lit, meanwhile testing
the batteries a few times. For this, push the switch all
the way to the left, into the position with the symbol
„Test“.
Important: Do not allow Ni-Cd batteries to become
completely discharged, as this may ruin them. Therefore,
do not allow the batteries to discharge until the test
indicator light goes off completely. The discharge function
in the four charging shafts is available for 1.2 V batteries
only – not for 9V single block batteries.
d) Charging batteries
If you have inserted the batteries the right way up,
as described at paragraph a) ...
move the switch to the center, to the position with
the "Charge" symbol, and ...
• connect the power plug to the power socket.
If all batteries have been placed correctly, the charge
indicator LED lights up at each charging slot.
Danger! If a charge indicator LED is not lit, even though
the battery has been correctly inserted, then the battery is
faulty. Do not, in any circumstances, attempt to charge
a faulty battery. A faulty battery can overheat and then
explode.
• Only charge with the cover closed. This will provide
sufficient protection against flying battery parts in the
event of an explosion due to overheating.

e) Keep to the charging time!
The best protection against battery overheating is not to
exceed the proper charging time. If you wish to calculate
the time exactly, please refer to the technical data for
information about the charging current required. You can
take the values in the following table as a rough guide:
1.2V Ni-Cd battery 300 mAh 800 mAh 1800 mAh
Charging time: 2 hrs. 4 hrs. 10 hrs.
1.2V Ni-MH battery 2100 mAh 3500 mAh 4000 mAh
Charging time: 10 hrs. 18 hrs. 21 hrs.
9V Ni-Cd battery 100 mAh
Charging time: 11 hrs.
9V Ni-MH battery 200 mAh
Charging time: 22 hrs.
Warning: Batteries with a capacity of not more than
300 mAh should not be charged for more than 2 hours,
as they would become overcharged and overheat.
Not for 9V single block batteries.
All charging slots and 9V connections have separate charging current controls. You can therefore charge completely
different batteries at the same time – provided you observe
the different charging times, required for batteries with
different capacities.
f) Calculation of the Charging Time
Charging Time (h) =
g) Charging time: Automatic cut-out
If you have loaded four batteries of the same type in the
1.2V charging slots, you can use the automatic cut-out
feature. With this feature, the appliance switches the 1.2V
charging slots over to trickle charge after the pre-selected
maximum charging time. This function is not available
for the 9V connections.

Battery Capacity (mAh) x 1.4
Charging Current of the Device (mA)
Turn the knob to about the time required (you can
determine this time by referring to the table opposite)
At the end of the charging time, the appliance switches
over to trickle charge, and the green LED indicator at
the "Battery" symbol is fully lit.
5. Taking out batteries
When charging is complete and you wish to take out the
batteries, ...
• first disconnect the power plug from the power
socket,
• wait until the batteries have cooled.
• take out the batteries.
6. Cleaning and Care
Clean the appliance only when the plug has been disconnected from the power socket and all the batteries have
been taken out.
• Clean the appliance only with a dry cloth. Never use
cleaning agents or solvents. These may cause damage
to the appliance, and particularly to the labelling and
plexiglas cover.
• The terminals do not require cleaning, as they are
chrome-plated and therefore dirt resistant.
7. Storage
If you are not going to use the appliance for a long period,
disconnect the plug from the power socket and remove all
batteries from the charging slots.
Caution: If you do not take out the batteries, deposits can
accumulate over time at the terminals, depending on the
quality of the battery. Batteries can also leak and damage
the appliance.
• Store the appliance in a dry place.

8. Disposal
Do not dispose of the device in normal
domestic waste.
Dispose of the device over a registered waste disposal
firm or through your communal waste disposal facility.
Observe the currently valid regulations. In case of doubt,
consult your waste disposal facility.
Battery disposal!
Batteries may not be disposed of with normal domestic
waste. All consumers are statutorily obliged to dispose of
batteries at the collection point in their community/district
or with the original supplier. The purpose of this obligation
is to ensure that batteries can be disposed of in an environmentally-friendly manner. Only dispose of batteries
when they are fully discharged.
