3. Auto voltage detection and charging mode: When a battery pack is properly aligned to the charger. The
charger will start its auto detection process. As soon as contact is made note the flashing red light on the
front display, the light will flash anywhere from 1 to 5 times indicating the voltage of the battery pack. 1
flash indicates the charger is detecting a 3.6v pack, 2 flashes indicates detection of a 4.8v pack, 3 flashes
indicates detection of a 6v pack, 4 flashes indicates detection of a 7.2v pack, and if the charger flashes 5
times it is detecting a 9.6v pack. NOTE: if the battery pack is over discharged it may detect the voltage
level below the pack's voltage causing all three lights to be lit in the first few minuets of charging. If this
is the case pull the battery pack off the charger after the first few minutes of charging and re-align the
battery to the charging contacts making note that the charger detects the correct voltage or not.
4. After the battery pack has been properly aligned to the appropriate charging contacts and the charger
completes the auto detection mode a yellow light and short audible tone will sound, this indicates that the
charging mode has started.
5. When a charging battery pack reaches approximately 1/3 of its charge the display will indicate two lights,
the first yellow light and a red light
6. As the battery pack reaches 2/3 of its charge all three charging indicator lights come on, one yellow, and
two red lights.
7. When the battery pack reaches its fully charged state either all the lights will go out or the last red light
will remain lit. The battery pack is ready to be removed at this point.
8. If when the charger is done rapid charging and a single red light is lit this indicates the charger is done
rapid charging and is now charging at a 40mAh-maintenance charge. It is not recommended to leave a
battery on the charger in this mode for long extended periods of time. If when done charging all lights
are out the charger is done rapid charging and can be removed at any time.
9. Discharge Feature: This mode should only be used if there is a remaining charge on a battery pack and
you want to "top off" a battery. Newer type cells such as Ni-MH and Li-ion DO NOT need to be
discharged before charging. In the case of NiCD type cells, by first discharging to 1v/cell can prevent
"Memory effect" or loss of capacity. When NiCD or NiMH cells are new or have not been used for long
periods of time they get "resistant" to taking a charge and need to be cycled through about 3
charge/discharge cycles. In most cases charging and discharging will rejuvenate battery packs to full
capacity.
10. To change from charge to discharge mode follow the instructions for attaching the battery pack to the
charger. Wait till the auto voltage detection has finished (yellow light is on and charger sounds a short
tone). Push the blue striped button on the control panel. The yellow and /or red lights will turn off and the
green light will turn on indicating the charger is discharging the battery. NOTE: The discharge mode
may only last a short time to as long as many hours depending on the amount of charge and storage
capacity of the battery pack.
11. After the charger discharges the battery pack to 1 volt per cell it will automatically sound a beep and
switch back to the charge mode. NOTE: if the charger is put into the discharge mode accidentally you
can remove the battery pack from the charger and start over.
