4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Inserting Batteries

Insert 1 to 4 AA or AAA Ni-MH/Ni-CD rechargeable batteries into the charging slots. Ensure correct polarity by matching the positive (+) and negative (-) ends of the battery with the markings in the charger slots.

4.2 Charging Process and LCD Display

The charger features an intelligent LCD display that provides real-time charging status for each individual battery slot.

• CHG: Indicates that charging is in progress.
• ERROR: Indicates a charging failure (e.g., incorrect battery type, short circuit).
• Flashing Battery Icon: Charging is in progress.
• Solid Battery Icon: Battery is fully charged. The icon will stop flashing when charging is complete.

4.3 Independent Charging Slots

Each of the four slots operates independently, allowing you to charge any number of AA or AAA batteries simultaneously without affecting the charging of other batteries.

5. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Disconnect the charger from the power source before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the charger in water.
• Storage: Store the charger in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
• Handling: Avoid dropping the charger or subjecting it to strong impacts, as this may damage internal components.

6. Troubleshooting

• Charger not powering on:
  • Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the charger and the power source.
  • Verify that the USB power source is active and providing power (e.g., wall outlet is working, laptop is on).
  • Try a different USB cable or power adapter.
• "ERROR" displayed on LCD:
  • Check if the battery is inserted with correct polarity.
  • Ensure the battery type is compatible (AA/AAA Ni-MH/Ni-CD).
  • The battery might be faulty or non-rechargeable. Try a different battery.
  • A short circuit might be detected. Remove all batteries and reinsert them one by one to identify the problematic battery or slot.
• Slow charging speed:
  • Ensure you are using a 5V/2A USB power adapter. Lower amperage adapters (e.g., 5V/1A) will result in slower charging.
  • The charging speed can vary depending on the battery capacity and its current charge level.
