4. Operating Instructions

• Connect the charger with an AC outlet.

• Select the appropriate charge voltage.

• Select the appropriate charge current. We recommended to select a charge current between 0.25C and 1C (C = the battery's capacity).

• Example: charging a 2.4V / 1200mAh battery pack. The charge voltage is 2.8V, the charge current is 1200mAh x 0.4 = 480mA. Choose the 500mA charge current.

• Connect the battery pack with the charger. The LED will turn red to indicate the battery pack is being charged. Note: Do not mix the two battery types (NiCd & NiMH).

• Press the discharge button. The LED will turn yellow to indicate that the discharge process has started.

• Press the discharge button during the discharge process to switch to the fast-charge mode, as indicated by the LED (turns red).

• When you don't press the discharge button during the discharge process, then the charger will automatically switch to the fast-charge mode once the discharge process is finished. The LED turns red to confirm this.

• The LED will turn green when the battery pack is fully charged.

• If the fast-charge process takes more than 6 hours, then the charger automatically switches to trickle charge mode for safety reasons. The LED will turn green to confirm that the trickle charge mode has been activated.

• Disconnect the battery pack from the charger.VLE5

• Disconnect the charger from the AC outlet.

• Disconnect the charger from the mains and wipe it with a moist, lint-free cloth. Do not use alcohol or solvents.

• Do not submerge the charger in water or any other liquid.
