Operating components

① LEDs (Operating status indicators)
② Loading slots for 9V blocks (loading slots 5 and 6; see fold-out page)
3 Loading slots for types AAA/AA/C/D (loading slots 1 to 4; see fold-out page)

Handling and operation

In this chapter you will receive important information for the handling and operation of the device.

Charging batteries

◆ Place the device on a smooth, level and slip resistant surface.
◆ Compare the technical details with those of your power supplier. If they match, insert the plug into a mains power socket. The LEDs 1 low red and green once. The battery charger is now ready for use.

Insert the batteries into the loading slots ③. Press the 9 V Block batteries into the loading slot ② until they audibly engage.

NOTICE

▶ 1 to 6 batteries can be individually charged: - 4 x Type C or Type D in the loading slots ③ 1 to 4
or
- 4 x Type AA or AAA in the loading slots ③1 to 4 and additionally 2 x Type 9 Volt Block batteries in the loading slots ②5 and 6.

The charging process now begins. The battery charger has an LED ① for each compartment in the loading slot ② ③. The LEDs ① of the respective loading slots ② ③ show the charge status of the individual batteries.

During the first 5 seconds the battery charger carries out a capacity test:

LED Colour	Capacity of the battery
Green > 90 %
Green blinking 80 - 90 %
Red 70 - 80 %
Red blinking < 70 %

NOTICE

Should the LED ① of the loading slot ② ③ blink red for more than 5 seconds, then the battery is either not properly inserted into the loading slot ② ③ or it is defective.

When the battery capacity has been determined, the charging process begins.

Operating status displays

The various displays have the following meanings:

■ The LED ^1 blinks red and green in 1 second intervals (not for 9 V): The batteries are being alternately charged and discharged (Refresh-Function: older or long stored batteries are being refreshed).

■ The LED1 blinks red and green in 1/2 second intervals (not for 9 V): The batteries are being discharged to reduce the memory effect.

■ The LED ^1 glows red constantly: The batteries are being charged with the maximum charge current.

■ The LED1 glows green constantly: The batteries are fully charged and the battery charger has switched to trickle charge.

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.

$$ \text { Charging Time (min) } = \frac {\text { Battery capacity (mAh) } \times 1 . 4 \times 6 0}{\text { Charging current of the device (mA) }} $$

Automatic charging control / Retention charging

This battery charger controls the charging time for batteries of the types Ni-Cd and Ni-MH separately. This control is based on the - U ("minus Delta U") calculation. In mathematics, with Delta differences are indicated. In this case, "Minus Delta U" means a negative voltage difference.

This charge identification makes itself useful in the following effects: Should a battery be charged with a constant current, its voltage rises continuously. When a 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 battery charger 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 self-discharge and the batteries are kept in a state of full charge.

Timer control

In addition, this battery charger has a timer control which automatically switches over to retention charging after 15 hours. This serves as an additional protection against overcharging should the charge termination not respond due to a possibly defective battery.

Cleaning

DANGER

▶ Always remove the plug before cleaning the device. There is the risk of an electric shock!
▶ When you are cleaning the device 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.
- Clean the surfaces of the device with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn soiling use a lightly moistened cloth.
◆ Never clean the insides of the loading slots②③ with moist cloths. Instead, use a clean soft brush to clean them.
◆ If soiled, clean the charging contacts with a dry cloth.
