OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

OmniSource® 467 - MODEL BCR467

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing LENMAR’s OmniSource 467, model BCR467. With it you can charge AA, AAA
and virtually all 4.8, 6, 7.2, 9.6 or 10 Volt camcorder batteries. This charger is compatible with Nickel
Cadmium, Lead Acid, Lithium-Ion, Nickel-Metal Hydride, and NoMEM® batteries. The BCR467 will operate
as an AC/DC Battery Charger and Reconditioner.

The OmniSource 467 will operate from a standard household AC outlet, or on the road from a 12 Volt
cigarette lighter socket. It is a complete, convenient system to refresh, condition, and charge almost any of
your rechargeable batteries.

Getting Ready...

CONNECTING THE POWER SUPPLY

To charge or discharge batteries, either the AC Adapter or the DC Automotive Adapter must be plugged into
the jack marked "DC INPUT" on the Base Module. Once you have done this, plug the power adapter into an
AC receptacle or cigarette lighter (depending on which adapter you are us ing).

If You Have...

Nickel Cadmium (Ni-Cd) Batteries

When you recharge a nickel-cadmium battery before it's fully drained, the batter y "remembers" it is using
less than a full charge, resulting in a loss of capacity. Because of this, the BCR467 has a Discharge /
Charge feature which will automatically discharge your Ni-Cd battery and then charge it fully. Doing this will
assure that you will get the maximum life out of your Ni-Cd batteries.

NoMEM, Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion), Nickel-Metal Hydride (Ni-MH), and Lead Acid (Pb) Batteries
These types of batteries do not have a problem with "Memory". Be sure to follow the recommended ch arging
and storage instructions for the battery type you are using.

time required to reach a full charge will vary depending on the capacity of the battery and how much charge
is already in it before you start.

: Due to the special properties of Li-Ion batteries, the charge indicator may not accurately indicate the

actual status of the battery as it charges and the charger may seem to be turning on and off by itself after
the battery has reached a full charge. When this happens, the battery is ready for use, and should be
