c) Discharge NiCd batteries first
NiCd batteries that are not fully discharged should be
discharged first, to avoid the possibility of "memory
effects".
If you have inserted up to 4 NiCd batteries,
move the switch to the far right, to the position
with the "Discharge" symbol.
•
Connect the power plug to the power socket.
Allow the NiCd batteries to discharge until the
test indicator light is barely lit, meanwhile testing
the batteries a few times.
Important: Do not allow NiCd batteries to become
completely discharged, as this may ruin them.
Therefore, do not allow the batteries to discharge until
the test indicator light goes off completely.
The Discharge feature is only available at the four charging
slots for 1.2 V batteries – not for 9 V batteries.
d) Charging batteries
If you have inserted the batteries the right way up,
as described at paragraph a) ...
move the switch to the center, to the position with
the "Charge" symbol, and ...
•
connect the power plug to the power socket.
If all batteries have been placed correctly, the charge
indicator LED lights up at each charging slot.
Danger! If a charge indicator LED is not lit, even
though the battery has been correctly inserted,
then the battery is faulty.
Do not, in any circumstances, attempt to charge
a faulty battery. A faulty battery can overheat and
then explode.
•
Only charge with the cover closed. This will provide
sufficient protection against flying battery parts in the
event of an explosion due to overheating.
