batteries
Danger!
This device must be used for charging rechargeable
"Ni-Cd" and "Ni-MH" batteries only. Never charge
other types of rechargeable batteries or non-recharge-
able batteries. These types of batteries are not suit-
able for recharging. Non-observance of this advice
could lead to irreparable damage to the universal
battery charger and the inserted batteries.
There is also the risk of fire and explosion!
Note:
Ensure that the batteries are inserted into the charging
bays the right way around (polarity). Otherwise the
batteries will not be charged.
Insert the batteries into the charging bays.
Press 9 V block batteries into the charging
bays until they audibly engage.
From 1 - 8 batteries can be charged
individually as follows:
4 x type C or D batteries in charging bays 1 to
4, with an additional 2 x type 9 volt block
batteries in charging bays 5 and 6,
or
6 x type AA or AAA in charging bays 1 to 4,
with additional 2 x type 9 volt block batteries
in charging bays 5 and 6.
The charging process now starts. The universal
battery charger has one LED for each compart-
ment in a charging bay. The LEDs for each
charging bay shows the state of charge for
each individual battery.
The universal battery charger performs a quick
capacity test in the first 5 seconds:
LCD display: Type AAA, AA, C, D. The LCD display
shows the present capacity of the battery by means
of five bars.
approx. 0 - 20 % charge
approx. 20 - 40 % charge

approx. 40 - 60 % charge
approx. 60 - 80 % charge
approx. 80 - 100 % charge
LED indicator: Type 9 V block
- The 9 V LED of the charging bay illuminates
orange:
Capacity between 25 %–80 %.
- The LED of the charging bay illuminates red:
Capacity under 25 %.
- The LED of the charging bay illuminates green:
Capacity over 80 %.
Once the capacity of the battery has been deter-
mined, the charging process begins.
The various indicators have the following
meanings:
The LED flashes alternately red and
green:
The rechargeable batteries are being
discharged (refresh function).
The LED flashes green:
The rechargeable batteries are being
charged using a gentle pulse charging
process at a reduced charging current.
The LED continuously illuminates red:
The batteries are being charged.
The LED continuously illuminates green:
The batteries are fully charged.
The LED flashes red:
The batteries are not correctly inserted
into the charging bay or are defective.
Note:
If type C or D batteries are being charged in the
outer charging bays, then their operating states are
shown by the inner LED in each case.
