Charging batteries
Danger!
Charge exclusively rechargable batteries of the
types „Ni-Cd“ and „Ni-MH“.
NEVER recharge batteries of other types or non-
rechargable batteries. These are not suitable for re-
charging. They could irreparably damage the Uni-
versal Battery Charger and the inserted batteries.
There is also the danger of a fire as well as an
explosion!
Notice:
Ensure that the batteries are inserted into the
charging slots in accordance with their polarities.
Otherwise, the batteries will not be charged.
• Insert the batteries into the charging slots.
• Press the 9 V Block batteries into the charging
slot until they audibly engage.
1 to 8 batteries can be individually charged:
• 4 x Type C or Type D batteries in the charging
slots 1 to 4, with additionally
2 x Type 9 Volt Block batteries in the charging
slots 5 and 6,
or
• 6 x Type AA or AAA in the charging slots 1 to 4,
with additionally
2 x Type 9 Volt Block batteries in the charging
slots 5 and 6.
• The charging process now begins.
The Universal Battery Charger has an LED for
each cell in the charging slot. The LEDs of the
respective charging slots show the charge
condition of the individual batteries.
• In the first 5 seconds the Universal Battery
Charger carries out a capacity test:
- The LED of the charging slot glows orange:
Capacity between 20%–80%.
- The LED of the charging slot glows red:
Capacity under 20%.
- The LED of the charging slot glows green:
Capacity over 80%.
When the battery capacity has been determined,
the charging process begins.
The various displays have the following meanings:
The LED blinks alternatively red and green:
The batteries are being discharged for
max.10 minutes (Refresh-Function).
The LED blinks green:
The batteries are being charged by means of
impulse-charging, for ca. 3 minutes with a
reduced charging current.
The LED continuously glows red:
The batteries are being charged.
The LED continuously glows green:
The batteries are fully charged.
The LED blinks red:
The inserted batteries are not positioned
correctly in the charging slot or are defective.
Note:
Should type C or D batteries be charged in the
outer charging slots, the operating condition is
displayed by the inner LEDs.
Warning!
The batteries could become hot during charging.
NEVER touch hot batteries! There is a danger of
being burnt!
• Remove the power cable of the Universal Battery
Charger from the plug socket and allow the
batteries to cool down.
Afterwards you can remove the charged batteries
from the Universal Battery Charger.
