Safety instructions

Fire hazard!

Do not place the Battery Charger:

• where it would be subject to direct sunlight.
It could happen that the Battery Charger over­heats and becomes irreparably damaged.

• in close adjacency to sources of heat. This inclu­des for example ovens, fan heaters and similar
appliances, as well as the ventilation openings
of electrical devices. The Battery Charger could
be irreparably damaged.

• in damp environments or in the vicinity of water.
Moisture could permeate into the Battery Charger.
There would then be the danger of receiving an
electric shock and or causing a fire!

• Only charge rechargable batteries of the types
„Ni-Cd“ and „Ni-MH“. NEVER recharge batteries
of other types or non-rechargable batteries.
These are not suitable for recharging. Batteries
not suitable for recharging can overheat and
explode. It could irreparably damage the
Battery Charger and the inserted batteries.
There is also a risk of personal injury!

Danger of electrical shock!

Do not place the Battery Charger:

• in the close vicinity of water, e. g. baths and
swimming pools. Should water permeate into the
Battery Charger, the appliance could be irrepar­ably damaged.

• Remove the power cable from the plug socket
before cleaning the Battery Charger. You can
thus avoid an electric shock. Should water or
moisture permeate the Battery Charger despite
observing all precautions, immediately remove
the power cable from the plug socket.

This device suitable only for use indoors.

Injury hazard!

• Always store batteries out of the reach of
children! There is a danger that children could
swallow batteries! Due to the poisonous content
of batteries there is a danger to life!

• When charging batteries never leave the
Battery Charger unsupervised.

• The batteries could become hot during charging.
NEVER touch hot batteries! There is a risk of
being burnt! After charging batteries, first of all
remove the power cable of the Battery Charger
from the plug socket. Then allow the batteries to
cool down before removing them from the
Battery Charger.

• Should the power cable be defective, immedia­tely arrange for it to be replaced by a service
partner to avoid the risk of injury.

• The Battery Charger does not contain any user­serviceable components. Should you open the
housing of the Battery Charger, the warranty
expires! Should repairs be needed, contact one
of our service partners in your area.

• No liability or warranty will be accepted for
damage caused by opening the appliance
housing, repairs attempted by non-qualified
persons or improper use of the Battery Charger!

• Leakage of battery acids can occur, especially
with old batteries. You should remove all batteries
from the Battery Charger if you do not intend to
use it for an extended period. You can thus
protect the Battery Charger from leaking battery
acids.

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sen­sorial or mental capabilities, or lack of experience
and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their
safety.

• Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.

Dealing with rechargable batteries

• Do not use damaged (corroded) batteries.

• Should batteries leak, avoid skin contact with

Commissioning

• Before taking the Battery Charger into use, check
that all items are complete/available and free of
visible damage.

• Place the Battery Charger on a straight, level,
scratch and slip resistant surface.

Notice:

This appliance is equipped with non-slip rubber feet.
As furniture surfaces may be made of a variety of
materials and are treated with many different types
of cleaning agents, it cannot be completely ruled
out that some substances contain ingredients which
may corrode the rubber feet and soften them.
If possible, place an anti-slip material under the device.

• Compare the technical data with that of your

current mains power supplier. If they are the
same, connect the power cable to a mains
power socket. The LEDs now light up red and
green. The Battery Charger is now ready for use.

Charging batteries

Danger!

Charge exclusively rechargable batteries of the
types „Ni-Cd“ and „Ni-MH“.
NEVER recharge batteries of other types or non­rechargable batteries. These are not suitable for
recharging. They could irreparably damage the
Battery Charger and the inserted batteries. There is
also the danger of a fire as well as an explosion!

Notice:

Ensure that the batteries are inserted into the
charging slots in accordance with their polarities.
Otherwise, the batteries will not be charged.

• Insert the batteries into the charging slots.

• Press the 9 V Block batteries into the charging
slot until they audibly engage.

Between 1-6 batteries can be loaded individually:

• 4 x Type C or Type D in the charging slots 1 to 4,

or

• 4 x Type AA or AAA in the charging slots 1 to 4,
with additionally 2 x Type 9 Volt Block batteries
in the charging slots 5 and 6.

• The charging process now begins. The Battery
Charger has an LED for each charging slot. The
LEDs of the charging slots indicate the charge
state of the battery they contain.

• In the first 5 seconds, the Battery Charger
performs a quick capacity test:

- The LED of the charging slot glows green:

Capacity over 90 %.

- The LED of the charging slot blinks green:

Capacity between 80 % - 90 %.

- The charging bay LED lights up red:
The capacity is between 70 % - 80 %

- The charging bay LED blinks red:
The capacity is under 70 %.

Notice:

If the charging bay LED blinks red for longer than
5 seconds the rechargeable battery is not correctly
inserted into the charging bay or the battery is de­fective.

When the capacity of the battery is determined,
charging process starts.
