Safety instructions for rechargeable batteries

■ DANGER TO LIFE! Keep rechargeable batteries out of reach of children. If accidentally swallowed seek immediate medical attention.
Swallowing may lead to burns, perforation of soft tissue, and death. Severe burns can occur within 2 hours of ingestion.
DANGER OF EXPLOSION! Never

rechargenon-rechargeable batteries. Do not short-circuit rechargeable batteries and/or open them. Overheating, fire or bursting can be the result.

■ Never throw rechargeable batteries into fire or water.

Never burn or inciner- ate any battery/

Never pierce, attempt to disassemble or short-circuit/Always observe polarity (+/-) and charging times.

- Do not exert mechanical loads to rechargeable batteries.

Risk of leakage of rechargeable batteries

• Avoid extreme environmental conditions and temperatures, which could affect rechargeable batteries, e.g. radiators/direct sunlight.
  If rechargeable batteries have leaked, avoid contact with skin, eyes and mucous membranes with the chemicals! Flush immediately the affected

areas with fresh water and seek medical attention!

WEAR PROTEC- TIVE GLOVES!

Leaked or damaged re- chargeable batteries can cause burns on contact with the skin. Wear suitable pro- tective gloves at all times if such an event occurs.

In the event of a leakage of rechargeable batteries, immediately remove them from the product to prevent damage.

Only use the same type of rechargeable batteries. Do not mix used and new rechargeable batteries.

■ Remove rechargeable batteries if the product will not be used for a longer period.

Risk of damage of the product

■ Only use the specified type of rechargeable batteries!
- Insert rechargeable batteries according to polarity marks (+) and (-) on the rechargeable battery and the product.

Use a dry lint-free cloth or cotton swab to clean the contacts on the rechargeable battery and in the rechargeable battery compartment before inserting!

■ Remove defective rechargeable batteries from the product immediately.

- Keep small cells and batteries which are considered swallowable out of the reach of children.

■ Swallowing may lead to burns, perforation of soft tissue, and death. Severe burns can occur within 2 hours of ingestion.

In case of ingestion of a cell or battery, seek medical assistance promptly.

- Initial use

Note: Remove all packaging materials from the product.

☐ Check the contents to make sure everything is there and for visible damage.
☐ Remove the product and the operating instructions from the packaging.

● Handling and operation

WARNING! Do not charge non-rechargeable batteries. Charge only Ni-MH rechargeable battery.

●Chargingrechargeable batteries

1. Insert 1–4 pieces of rechargeable Ni-MH batteries (AA/AAA) into the loading slots 1. Make correct contact for polarity (+ and -); according to the sign in the loading slots 1.

2. Plug the product into a correct household electric outlet.

Note: The LC display lights up for approx. 7 seconds when the product is connected to a socket but there are no rechargeable batteries in the product for charging.

1. The LC display 3 will show the charging status of each rechargeable battery correspondingly and "CHARGE" icon is appeared to represent charging is in progress.

ERROR CHARGE FINISH

1. The rechargeable battery is fully charged when all the bar inside the LC display 3 become solid.
2. When charging is completed, the "FINISH" will be appeared on the LC display 3 screen. You can remove the charged batteries from the rechargeable battery compartment 1.

ERROR CHARGE FINISH

Note: After remove all charged batteries, LC display 3 will light for approx. 7 seconds and then switch off.

1. Unplug and re-plug the product each time when you recharge the empty batteries.
2. The product can simultaneously charge rechargeable batteries and one USB device.

- Charging your USB device

Important: Check for voltage compatibility with your USB device first.

1. Before using, check your USB device's input voltage and this product's output voltage if they can match. Make sure the total loading does not exceed the rated output current of this product.
2. Connect your USB device and the USB port of this product via a charging cable. (To ensure complete safety and best performance, we strongly recommend using the original charging cable of your product.)
3. The USB device will start charging your product automatically.
4. Your USB device should indicate it is now in charging mode.
5. Please unplug this product from wall outlet when not in use.

Bad cell/Short circuit protection

The "ERROR" icon is appeared with the corresponding flashing of LC display 3 to indicate the rechargeable battery is either alkaline rechargeable battery or the rechargeable battery is not suitable for charging.

Please remove the rechargeable battery from the loading slots 1.

ERROR

Calculating the average charging time

Depending on the type, age and remaining charge in the batteries, the charging process can take various lengths of time. The average charge time can be calculated using the following formula. Take note however that the times given are only guiding values.

Charging Time (min) = Battery capacity (mAh) × 1.2 × 60: Charging current of the product (mA)

Automatic charging control/ Retention charging

This product controls the charging time for Ni-MH rechargeable batteries separately. This control is based on the - V (“Minus Delta V”) calculation. In mathematics, with Delta differences are indicated. In this case, “Minus Delta V” means a negative voltage difference. This charge identification makes itself useful in the following effects: Should a rechargeable battery be charged with a constant current, its voltage rises continuously. When a rechargeable battery is full, its voltage reaches a maximum but falls again slightly with further current flow. This light fall in voltage is recognised by the charging electronics and the charge process is terminated. The product automatically switches to “Retention charging”. This means that the batteries are no longer being loaded with constant current, instead, with short current pulses. This counteracts the selfdischarge and the batteries are kept in a state of full charge.

Timer control

In addition, this product has a timer control which automatically switches over to retention charging after 7 hours. This serves as an additional protection against overcharging should the charge termination not respond due to a possibly defective rechargeable battery.

- Cleaning and care

■ DANGER! Always remove the plug before cleaning the product. There is the risk of an electric shock!
- When you are cleaning the product ensure that no moisture gets inside it, so as to avoid irreparable damage to it.

IMPORTANT! Do not use aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents, as these can damage the upper surfaces.

- Cleaning the housing

☐ Clean the surfaces of the product with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn soiling use a lightly moistened cloth.

■ Never clean the insides of the loading slots 1 with moist cloths. Instead, use a clean soft brush to clean them.

☐ If soiled, clean the charging contacts with a dry cloth.
