charger can charge both NiMH and NiCd
batteries.
Charging a Battery Attached to Your
Phone
You can make and receive calls while using the
multicharger to charge a battery attached to
your phone, if you wish.
1. Using the lightning bolt symbols as your
guide, align the small plug on the charger cord
with the receptacle on the back of the charger.
2. Plug the connector on the charger cord into
the receptacle on the back of the multicharger.
3. Plug the AC adapter on the power cord into a
wall outlet.
4. Insert your phone into the front
compartment of the multicharger, as shown in
the following illustration.
The light on the left front corner of the
multicharger comes on red when the phone is
properly seated in the multicharger, and the
phone's display indicates that the battery is
charging.
5. Remove your phone from the multicharger
when the light turns green, which indicates that
the battery attached to your phone is fully
charged.
NOTE: When the phone is attached to the
charger, the phone backlight will turn off as
soon as a call is received. This enhances phone
and battery performance.
Charging a Separate Battery
1. Using the lightning bolt symbols as your
guide, align the small plug on the charger cord
with the receptacle on the back of the charger.
2. Plug the connector on the charger cord into
the receptacle on the back of the multicharger.
3. Plug the AC adapter on the power cord into a
wall outlet.
4. Insert the battery into the rear compartment
of the multicharger.
The multicharger's rear indicator light comes on
red when the battery is properly seated in the
rear compartment.
5. Remove the battery from the multicharger
when the rear indicator light turns green, which
indicates that the battery is fully charged.
NOTE: You can charge two batteries—one
attached to your phone and one in the rear
compartment—at the same time.
Conditioning a Battery (Rear Slot Only)
The multicharger can condition a battery by
fully discharging the battery and then charging
the battery to full capacity. Conditioning helps
prevent the memory effect that can result from
repeatedly charging a battery before the battery
is fully discharged.
1. Using the lightning bolt symbols as your
guide, align the small plug on the charger cord
with the receptacle on the back of the
multicharger.
2. Plug the connector on the charger cord into
the receptacle on the back of the multicharger.
3. Plug the AC adapter on the power cord into a
wall outlet.
4. Insert the battery into the rear compartment
of the multicharger.
5. Press the light on the left rear side of the
multicharger. The light remains a solid yellow
while the multicharger discharges the battery.
It can take anywhere from two to six hours to
discharge the battery, depending on the battery
type.
The light turns a solid red when the
multicharger begins charging the battery.
6. Remove the battery from the multicharger
when the light turns green, which indicates that
the battery is fully charged.
