have received instructions from such an individual about how the device is to be used. • Only use rechargeable metal-hybrid batteries (NiMH), nickel-cadmium (NICD) or alkaline batteries (RAM batteries). • Do not use any batteries in the device that are not clearly labelled as rechargeable. There will be the danger of injury and the device could be damaged if other types of battery are used.
• Use the device exclusively in living or similar areas. In the Case of Malfunctions • Detach the plug-in power supply unit from the socket immediately in the case of damage to the plug, the charging device or the plug-in power supply unit. •...
• Also clean the + and – terminals with a dry cloth after long use, in order to maintain an optimum contact at the terminals. Dealing with Rechargeable Batteries • Do not use any damaged or corroded rechargeable batteries in the device. •...
Information about this Device You can charge 1-4 size AAA/R03, AA/R6, C/R14, D/R20 rechargeable batteries or 9 V block batteries at the same time with your charging device. You can also charge a 9 V block battery, in addition to AA/R6 and AAA/R03 batteries, so that 5 batteries will be charged at the same time.
Never place RAM cells in the device if the function switch is at the NiMH or NiCd position. This could lead to the discharging of the batteries and therefore to damage to the device. Labelling of the Battery Types Rechargeable batteries are labelled in accordance with the IEC Norm in Europe.
Automatic Recognition of the End of Charging This charging device manages the charging time for NiCd and NiMH type rechargeable batteries separately. This management is based on the (Minus Delta U) process. Recognition of the end of charging in accordance with Minus Delta U (-Δ...

For example: You want to charge a 9 V block battery with a capacity of 200 mAh (given on the battery) in the device. This charging device supplies a current flow of 65 mA (to be found in the Technical Data). Therefore take 60 mA for the average level of the current flow.
Automatic discharging Batteries will be initially discharged and then recharged in the NiCd switch position. NiCd batteries must be discharged before recharging, in order to avoid the memory effect, in the case of which batteries not completely charged only retain their capacity up to the point of the most recent charging.
Start-Up Unpacking the unit • Remove all packaging material. ATTENTION! Do not let young children play with plastic packaging, to avoid the danger of suffocation! Make sure during unpacking that the following items have been included: • Battery charging device •...
up at the same time. The operational LED will light up after this, in order to indicate that there is an electricity supply. The OK symbol will appear on the display for each charging slot and the corresponding check LEDs will go out if no batteries have been inserted.

A: Battery is completely charged: battery symbol will be displayed continuously/green LED will light up and will be displayed B: Battery is charged up to 75%: battery symbol will flash/ red LED will light up/the charging process will be indicated C: Battery is charged up to 50%: battery symbol will flash/ red LED will light up/the charging process will be indicated D: Battery is charged up to 25%: battery symbol will flash/...
The charging time will depend on the age and the total capacity of the rechargeable batteries. The maximum charging time in the device is 10 hours. The device will switch to maintenance charging after this. Charging 9 V block batteries •...
Charging RAM cells • Set the function switch to the RAM battery type. • Place the RAM type rechargeable batteries (batteries) that you want to charge in the corresponding charging slot. The symbol in the display will be the same as when charging NiMH or NiCd batteries.
