3 0.5 A charging current indicator
4 Battery type LED indicator
5 USB-C ^® port

6 USB-A output (power bank)
7 LED capacity and status
8 1 A charging current indicator

a) Connection

- Use the USB cable to connect the USB-C ^ port (5) on the charger to a USB port (computer, charging hub or charger with a USB voltage of 5 V/DC). The LEDs (4/7) will turn on briefly.

Connect the charger to a USB 3.1 (or above) port. The currents delivered by USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 ports are not sufficient to power the charger. To use the fast charging function, a USB power source with an output current of at least 1 A is required (e.g. USB power adapter).

b) Inserting rechargeable battery / set the battery type

Insert a suitable rechargeable battery into the battery slot (1), ensuring that it is inserted in the correct polarity (see positive/+ and negative/- markings in the battery slot and on the battery).

- By default, NiMH and NiCd rechargeable batteries and 3.7 V Li-ion batteries are automatically charged with a charging current of 500 mA.

- To switch to quick charge mode (with a 1 A charging current), press the SELECT button (2). The 1 A charging current indicator (8) will turn on.

• If you want to charge a 3.85 V/4.4 V battery (from Samsung, Panasonic or LG) or a 3.2 V LiFePO4 battery, you must press the SELECT button (2) within 5 seconds of inserting the battery in order to select the battery type. Press repeatedly until the LED indicator (4) shows the corresponding battery type.
• The charger automatically detects the charging status of all compatible batteries, except for NiMH and NiCD batteries.
• The charging status LEDs flash to indicate the charging process.

After charging is complete, trickle charging is used to keep NiMH and NiCd batteries at maximum capacity when they are inserted in the battery slot.

- Remove the batteries from the charger at the end charging process.

c) Power bank function

25 NiM 1.20 0.5

• To charge a mobile device, connect it to the charger via the USB cable provided.
• Use the USB cable to connect the USB-A-output (6) to the USB-C® port on the mobile device that you want to charge.
• Insert a fully charged Li-ion battery or LiFePO4 battery into the battery slot (1) to charge your mobile device.

9. Care and cleaning

Never use aggressive detergents, rubbing alcohol or other chemical solutions, as these could damage the housing or stop the product from functioning properly.

• Disconnect the product from the mains before cleaning.
• Use a dry, lint-free cloth to clean the product.

a) Product

Simple line drawing of a trash bin with two crossed lines indicating no waste or restriction (no text or symbols)

This symbol must appear on any electrical and electronic equipment placed on the EU market. This symbol indicates that this device should not be disposed of as unsorted municipal waste at the end of its service life.

Owners of WEEE (Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment) shall dispose of it separately from unsorted municipal waste. Spent batteries and accumulators, which are not enclosed by the WEEE, as well as lamps that can be removed from the WEEE in a non-destructive manner, must be removed by end users from the WEEE in a non-destructive manner before it is handed over to a collection point.

Distributors of electrical and electronic equipment are legally obliged to provide free take-back of waste. Conrad provides the following return options free of charge (more details on our website):

in our Conrad offices
at the Conrad collection points

at the collection points of public waste management authorities or the collection points set up by manufacturers or distributors within the meaning of the ElektroG

End users are responsible for deleting personal data from the WEEE to be disposed of.

It should be noted that different obligations about the return or recycling of WEEE may apply in countries outside of Germany.

b) (Rechargeable) batteries

Remove batteries/rechargeable batteries, if any, and dispose of them separately from the product. According to the Battery Directive, end users are legally obliged to return all spent batteries/rechargeable batteries; they must not be disposed of in the normal household waste.

Symbol of a trash bin crossed out by two diagonal lines (no text or numbers present)

Batteries/rechargeable batteries containing hazardous substances are labelled with this symbol to indicate that disposal in household waste is forbidden. The abbreviations for heavy metals in batteries are: Cd = Cadmium, Hg = Mercury, Pb = Lead (name on (rechargeable) batteries, e.g. below the trash icon on the left).

Used (rechargeable) batteries can be returned to collection points in your municipality, our stores or wherever (rechargeable) batteries are sold. You thus fulfil your statutory obligations and contribute to environmental protection.

Batteries/rechargeable batteries that are disposed of should be protected against short circuit and their exposed terminals should be covered completely with insulating tape before disposal. Even empty batteries/rechargeable batteries can contain residual energy that may cause them to swell, burst, catch fire or explode in the event of a short circuit.
