4. Operating Instructions

Charging Process:

• Once batteries are inserted and the charger is connected to a power source, the individual LED indicators above each charging bay will illuminate.
• A red LED typically indicates that the battery is currently charging.
• When the charging process for a battery is completed, its corresponding LED indicator will change color (e.g., to green or blue) or turn off, depending on the specific charger model.
• The charger automatically switches to a slow charging mode once the battery is fully charged to prevent overcharging.
• Charging Current: The charger provides 700mA output when one battery is inserted and 500mA output per battery when both charging bays are occupied.

5. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Disconnect the charger from the power source before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
• Storage: Store the charger in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Handling: Avoid dropping the charger or subjecting it to strong impacts.

6. Troubleshooting

• Charger not powering on: Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the charger and a functional power source. Try a different USB port or power adapter.
• Battery not charging:
  • Verify that the battery is correctly inserted into the charging bay with contacts aligned.
  • Ensure the battery is compatible with the PATONA 1968 charger (Canon LP-E6, LP-E6N, LP-E6NH).
  • The battery might be fully charged or defective. Try charging a different battery if available.
• Slow charging: Ensure your USB power source provides sufficient current (recommended 5V/2.1A). Charging two batteries simultaneously will result in a lower current per battery (500mA each) compared to charging a single battery (700mA).
