Plug the charger into an electrical outlet. The charger
light turns red, indicating that the charger is working.
When the batteries are charged, after about two and a
half hours, the light goes off.
NOTE
Replace the batteries with new EPSON NiMH batteries if the
charger light stays on for more than four hours or the charger
light flashes for more than half an hour.

Now charge your batteries again by unplugging the
battery power cord and then plugging it in again.

goes off, unplug the charger. To avoid overcharging,
don't leave the charger plugged in for long periods of
time after the light goes off.

Wait one hour until the batteries cool before removing
them from the charger.

Before storing the charger, disconnect the power cord
and remove the batteries.
(For subsequent charges of your NiMH rechargeable
batteries, follow steps 1 through 3, then unplug the charger
and follow steps 6 and 7 above.)
Be sure to charge the batteries completely to make them last
as long as possible. They can be recharged hundreds of times,
so do not dispose of them until they are worn out.
NOTE
To keep the charger terminals clean, unplug the charger and wipe
the terminals with a dry cloth. If you find that your batteries run
out faster after you recharge them a few times, make sure you
discharge them completely before recharging. If this doesn't
help, replace the batteries.
