Operating Instructions

Charging Batteries

Insert Batteries:
Open the charger lid. Insert Ni-MH or Ni-Cd rechargeable batteries into the appropriate charging slots. Ensure correct polarity (+ and -) as indicated on the charger and the batteries. The charger supports AA, AAA, C, D, and 9V batteries. Note: Always place batteries of the same size and type in a pair for optimal charging in the main compartments.
Start Charging:

Once batteries are correctly inserted, the charger will automatically begin the charging process. The "CHARGE/READY" indicator light for the respective channel will illuminate, typically red, to indicate charging is in progress.
Charging Completion:
When the batteries are fully charged, the "CHARGE/READY" indicator light will change color, typically to green, or turn off, depending on the specific model's indication system. The charger features Delta V detection to prevent overcharging.
Remove Batteries:
Once charging is complete, carefully remove the batteries from the charger. Unplug the charger from the power outlet when not in use.

Discharge Function

The charger includes a discharge function to help reduce memory effect in Ni-Cd batteries and to ensure a full charge cycle for Ni-MH batteries. This function is typically activated by a dedicated 'DISCHARGE' button or by inserting batteries in a specific way.

Activate Discharge:
Insert the batteries into the charging slots. Press the 'DISCHARGE' button (if available) or follow the specific instructions in the charger's manual for activating the discharge cycle. The 'DISCHARGE' indicator light will illuminate.
Discharge Process:
The charger will first discharge the batteries completely. Once discharged, it will automatically switch to the charging mode.
Charging After Discharge:

After the discharge cycle, the charger will proceed with a full charge as described in the "Charging Batteries" section.
