Important operating instructions for batteries and charger
New rechargeable batteries and batteries which have not been used for
•
more than a week need to be fully charged before use. The Memorex NiMH
Ready batteries are precharged before leaving the factory. If possible,
please fully charge them with the RX 1 Smart immediately after purchase.
New batteries which have been stocked for a while after production, can
•
be reconditioned using the REFRESH function. It will restore optimum ca-
pacity.
Rechargeable batteries will reach their full capacity after about 6 charge
•
and discharge cycles.
Charging NiMH batteries regularly, at least every 3 to 6 months, will extend
•
their life time. This applies to the Memorex 'Ready to use' batteries as well
although their low self-discharge rate.
It is important to follow the battery manufacturer's instructions regard-
•
ing the max. charging current. When quick charge or discharge is not
required, we recommend a default charging current of 200mA and dis-
charge current of 100mA to extend the overall lifespan of your batteries.
The four independent charging channels and circuitry of the RX 1 Smart
•
permit simultaneous charging of cells with different capacity or size (AA
and AAA).
Do not mix different battery brands, technologies or capacities in an ap-
•
pliance.
If your electrical appliance is not in use for an extended period, the batteries
•
should be removed.
The temperature for storage of batteries is between -10°C and 35°C
•
(14°F and 95°F).
The ambient temperature for charging is between 16°C and 30°C
(61°F and 86°F).
