3. Setup

1. Unpack the Charger: Carefully remove the charger, batteries, and micro USB cable from the packaging.
2. Connect Power: Insert the micro USB connector into the charging port on the charger. Connect the standard USB-A end of the cable to a compatible USB power source (e.g., a USB wall adapter, computer USB port, or power bank). The power source should provide 5V DC.
3. Insert Batteries: Insert the AAA NiMH rechargeable batteries into the charger slots, ensuring the correct polarity (+ and - ends match the markings on the charger). The charger is designed for 2 AAA batteries.

4. Operating Instructions

1. Initiate Charging: Once the batteries are correctly inserted and the charger is connected to a power source, the charging process will begin automatically.
2. Charging Indicator: The charger features LED indicators to show the charging status. Refer to the charger's specific LED behavior for details (e.g., solid light for charging, off for fully charged, blinking for error).
3. Charging Time: Charging time varies depending on the battery capacity and the power output of your USB source. For the included 700 mAh AAA batteries, a full charge typically takes several hours.
4. Remove Batteries: Once charging is complete, disconnect the charger from the power source and carefully remove the fully charged batteries.

5. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Disconnect the charger from the power source before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior of the charger. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
• Storage: Store the charger and batteries in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Battery Care: For optimal battery life, avoid completely discharging NiMH batteries. It is recommended to recharge them when they are low, rather than waiting for them to be fully depleted.

6. Troubleshooting

• Charger not working: Ensure the micro USB cable is securely connected to both the charger and the power source. Verify that the power source is active.
• Batteries not charging: Check that the batteries are inserted with the correct polarity (+ and -). Ensure the batteries are NiMH rechargeable type. If batteries are very old or damaged, they may not accept a charge.
• Slow charging: Ensure your USB power source provides sufficient current (e.g., 1A or higher for faster charging). Charging from a computer USB port may be slower than a dedicated wall adapter.
• Overheating: It is normal for the charger and batteries to become slightly warm during charging. If they become excessively hot, disconnect the charger immediately and contact support.
