Setup

2. Battery Insertion: Align the battery with the charging contacts on the charger and gently slide it into place until it clicks securely.

Operating Instructions

1. Charging Process:

   Once the battery is correctly inserted and the charger is connected to a power source, the LCD display will illuminate and show the current charging status. The battery icon will typically animate or show increasing bars to indicate charging progress.

2. Checking Battery Status (without AC power):

   Even when the charger is not connected to an AC power source, you can insert a battery to verify its current charge status. The LCD display will show the battery percentage or charge level for a few seconds, allowing you to quickly assess the battery's condition.

3. Charging Completion:

   The LCD display will indicate when the battery is fully charged, usually by showing a full battery icon or a "FULL" message. Once charging is complete, remove the battery from the charger and disconnect the charger from the power source.
