Ni-Cd/Ni-MH Universal Battery Charger
(230-0425) Operation Faxback Doc. # 61346
General Charging Hints
It is normal for the batteries to become warm while charging.
Charge batteries in an area between 60.8 and 86 degrees F. (16 and 30
degrees C). Cold batteries cannot charge fully. If the area is too
warm, the batteries can permanently lose their ability to charge.
Do not charge batteries other than those listed in this manual, or use
procedures other than those described in this manual.
Discharging/Charging Batteries
Note: If the red indicator flashes during these steps, at least one of the
batteries is bad (needs to be replaced).
1. Press OPEN to open the cover and insert two or four AAA, AA, C, or D
batteries into the battery chambers, as indicated by the polarity
symbols (+ and -) marked inside each chamber.
To insert a 9-volt battery, connect it to the terminals inside the
chamber.
2. Plug the supplied adapter's 3-pin power plug into the jack on the back
of the charger. Plug the other end of the adapter into a standard AC
outlet.
CAUTION: The supplied AC adapter supplies 11 volts AC at 0.1 A and 5
volts AC at 2.0 A, and its plug fits the charger's AC 11V
0.1A and 5V 2A jack. Using an adapter that does not meet
these specifications could damage the charger or the adapter.
3. To discharge AAA, AA, C, or D batteries, set CHARGE/DISCHARGE to
DISCHARGE. The green indicator(s) light. When the batteries are
fully discharged, the green indicator(s) turn off.
Notes: You can discharge/charge a pair of AAA, AA, C or D batteries
while the 9-volt battery chambers are empty. You can discharge/
charge different types of batteries (AA and D, for example) in
the left and right chambers, as long as both batteries in each
chamber are the same type.
You cannot discharge 9V batteries.
4. To charge the inserted batteries, set CHARGE/DISCHARGE to CHARGE. The
red indicator(s) light. When AAA, AA, C, or D batteries are fully
charged, the red indicator(s) turn off.
The 9-volt charging channel has no automatic turn off feature. Be sure
you do not exceed the times listed in "Charging Time" below, or the
batteries' capacities could be reduced.
5. When you finish, unplug the AC adapter from the AC outlet, then remove
the batteries from the charger.
WARNING: To prevent damage to your charger and the risk of shock, always
unplug the AC adapter from the AC outlet before unplugging it
from the charger.
