Use

Note!

The batteries can leak or explode resulting in personal injury if they are inserted into the charger the wrong way, exposed to fire, short-circuit or are mixed together in the charger with non-rechargeable or the wrong type of batteries.

Charging

1. Insert 1 to 4 x R6/AA or R03/AAA batteries into the battery compartment.
2. Make sure that the polarity is correct, as shown on the bottom of the compartment. When charging R03/AAA batteries, first fold down the converter in the upper edge of the compartment and then insert the batteries. The charger automatically adjusts to the correct charging current for the type of battery. Never charge R6/AA and R03/AAA batteries in the same charger at the same time.
3. Indoor use: Connect the included adaptor's connector to the socket on top of the charger. Plug the adaptor into a 230 V wall socket. Note! Only use the supplied charger cable.
4. Car use: Plug the included car adaptor's connector into the socket on the end of the charger and the cigarette lighter plug into the car's lighter socket.
5. Each battery has its own status indicator light below it; these emit a red light during charging. The display shows the status of the battery.

Discharging

1. Insert 1 to 4 x R6/AA or R03/AAA batteries into the battery compartment.
2. Make sure that the polarity is correct, as shown on the bottom of the compartment.

When charging R03/AAA batteries, first fold down the converter in the upper edge of the compartment and then insert the batteries. The charger automatically adjusts to the correct charging current for the type of battery. Never charge R6/AA and R03/AAA batteries in the same charger at the same time.

1. Indoor use: Connect the included adaptor's connector to the socket on top of the charger. Plug the adaptor into a 230 V wall socket. Note! Only use the supplied charger cable.
