on your computer (charge times are increased when USB power is used). Simply plug
the desired power cable into the side of the charger unit and the other end into the
appropriate power source.
2. Insert 1 to 4 pieces of AA or AAA rechargeable Ni-MH batteries into any open battery
location observing the proper battery polarity to the marks in the battery compartment.
