Power Cord Safety
1. A short power supply cord is to be
provided to reduce risks resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a
longer cord.
2. Longer extension cords are available
and may be used if care is exercised
in their use. Follow all directions when
using a long extension cord.
3. If a long extension cord is used,
a. the marked electrical rating of the
(detachable power supply cord or)
extension cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the
appliance,
b. if the appliance is of the grounded
type, the extension cord should be a
grounding type 3-wire cord, and
c. the longer cord should be arranged so
that it will not drape over the counter
top or tabletop where it can be pulled
on by children or tripped over.
OPERATION
1. Place the Fast Battery Charger on a at,
smooth, dry surface near an electrical
outlet.
2. Insert 1 to 4, D, C, AA, AAA batteries, or
1 to 2 9V batteries in the Battery Compartment. DO NOT MIX NiCd (NICKELCADMIUM) AND NiMH (NICKEL-METAL HYDRIDE) BATTERIES.
3. Slide the Battery Type Switch to select
the correct type of battery. For NickelCadmium batteries, set the Battery Type
Switch to the NiCd position. For NickelMetal Hydride batteries, set the Battery
Type Switch to the NiMH position. See
illustration.
4. Plug the Charger into a correct household electric outlet. The LED (CH 1, CH
2, CH 3 or CH 4) will glow red color to
indicate the proper charging. After the
proper charge time is reached (5 hours
for NiCd and 8 hours for NiMH, except
for 9V of both types, and NiMH D Cells),
the red lights will turn off and the trickle
charge is on. The charged batteries are
now ready for use. See illustration.
5. Unplug the Fast Battery Charger and
remove all batteries when not in use.
Note: When 9V batteries are placed in the
Charger the green light at the top of the
Charger will come on. After 10 Hours for
NiCd (110 mAh) and 15 hours for NiMH
(150-160 mAh), remove the 9V batteries
from the Charger. The 9V batteries are
now ready for use.
Note: The charging of 9V batteries is by
manual control. You must observe the
charging time. Periodically check the
condition of the charger and batteries.
Do not over charge the batteries. The
green light will stay on until you remove
the 9V batteries from the Battery Compartment.
Note: Unplug and then re-plug the Fast Bat-
tery Charger each time you recharge the
empty batteries, to reset the charger.
