USING THE RENU-IT DELUXE

NOTE: Only one battery chemistry can be charged in the battery
charger bay at a time. Mobile phones, tablets, and other electronics
can be charged through the USB ports while any type of battery is
charging in the battery charger bay.

STEP 1: Plug the included AC adapter into power outlet.
STEP 2: Insert the AC adapter plug into the unit’s DC socket.
STEP 3: Press the ON/OFF button so that the blue LED power indication light

turns on.

STEP 4: Insert the batteries into the charger, aligning each with the correct

polarity. Only charge one chemistry type at a time. The RENU-IT
DELUXE will automatically detect whether the batteries are Ni-Cd, Ni­MH, alkaline, or lithium.

NOTE: RENU-IT DELUXE cannot charge 3.6V lithium batteries.

STEP 5: After inserting a battery, the LCD screen will display which dock the

battery has been inserted into (1-8) as well as its charge status. Please
allow a few seconds for unit to process and display to appear. While
the battery is charging, a ashing battery will be displayed on the LCD
screen with the heading “CHG.” Once the battery is regenerated, a
solid battery will be displayed with the heading “OK.” Remove the
regenerated battery.

NOTE: When a battery is bad and can’t be charged (indicated by a

“BAD” LCD display heading), properly dispose of the battery and
do not attempt to charge it again.

STEP 6: OPTIONAL-Using USB adapter(s) (not included), connect your

electronic device(s) to the USB port(s) on for convenient charging. Both
1A and 2.1A USB ports can be used to charge most mobile phones,
tablets, and other personal electronics. Consult your device’s user
manual for charge rates/times. Most mobile phones and tablets can
be placed in the docks (see parts diagram). The bottoms of the docks
are designed to allow most USB adapter cords to be run through the
holes and out the other side to keep cords tidy and devices adequately
cradled. There is no charge indicator on RENU-IT for the USB ports.

Automatic shut-off: The battery charging function of the RENU-IT will
automatically shut off after 24 hours of being turned on. To resume, simply
push the power button once to turn the unit off and press the button once
more to turn the unit back on. USB power ports are NOT part of the auto-off
cycle and will continue to charge all connected devices.
