Getting Ready

Choose the adapter plate for the type of battery you will be charging. Each of the adapter plates is labeled as to the batteries it can work with. If the charger base does not already have the adapter plate you want attached, you will need to remove the adapter plate first by pushing down on the plate and sliding it to the rear of the charger base (away from the LED indicators). Then, attach the selected adapter plate to the charger unit by aligning the arrows on the sides of the adapter plates and the charger base as shown. While pressing down lightly on the adapter plate, slide the plate toward the front of the charger base until it locks.

Charging Instructions

1. Choose the source of power for the charger unit. You can use the AC adapter which

is international capable accepting 100-240VAC (plug adapter may be required in other

countries, not included), the DC car cord while on the move or plugged into a USB port on your computer (charge times are increased when USB power is used). Simply plug the desired power cable into the side of the charger unit and the other end into the appropriate power source.

2. Insert 1 to 4 pieces of AA or AAA rechargeable Ni-MH batteries into any open battery location observing the proper battery polarity to the marks in the battery compartment. Do not mix AA and AAA batteries while charging. The Blue backlight will light up for around 10 sec once the batteries inserted correctly. For charging AAA batteries, pull down the adjustable battery contact plate before inserting the AAA batteries into the compartment. The charger automatically adjusts the charging current depending on the size of the battery being charged.

3. The LCD will indicate the proper charging and the word “Charge” will be shown to the left of the battery symbols that indicate each battery’s charge progress. After the batteries are fully charged, the wording “FULL” will indicate on the LCD screen to indicate the trickle charge and the charged batteries are ready for use. Once charge is complete, remove batteries and unplug the charger as soon as it is practical. Do not leave batteries in charger for extended periods of time (more than 1-2 days) or when the charger is not plugged in. Unplug the charger when not in use.

4. Begin again at Step-1 to charge the next set of batteries.

Bad Cell Detection

When charge process is started, the charger detects the health status of each of the cells in the battery compartment. If any batteries are unsuitable for charging, i.e. short circuit or reversed polarity, the word “BAD” will indicate on the LCD screen and ”battery” icon will flash.

USB Charge Port Operation When using the USB PowerPort on this charger, the AA/AAA charger function has priority. The USB PowerPort will not be available while batteries are installed and charging. Once the AA/AAA batteries have completed their charge, the USB port will be turned on automatically. The “USB symbol” will be shown on the LCD screen to indicate the USB socket is ready for use.

Note: Make sure the maximum loading is not exceeding 500mA for the USB socket. Do not

attempt to overload the USB port or damage to the charger or USB device may result.
