adaptor has been plugged into an
appropriate power source (Figure 1), insert
a rechargeable battery into the charging
unit and plug the DC jack into the battery
charger. After about 5 seconds the status

OPERATING MODES OF THE CHARGING UNIT
The charging unit provides three operating modes:
1.
(CHARGE) – to charge up the rechargeable battery.
Automatically switches to trickle charge after rechargeable battery
is full.
2. (DISCHARGE) – to discharge the rechargeable battery then
charge it for minimizing the memory effect.
