User manual TRONIC KH 967 UNIVERSAL BATTERY CHARGER WITH TIMER FUNCTION

[. . . ] Intended use This appliance is intended for charging Ni-Cd / Ni-MH rechargeable batteries of Size Micro AAA, Mignon AA, Baby C, Mono D and 9V battery packs, for personal and household purposes. It is not intended for charging commercial type batteries (even rechargeable types), or lithium-ion batteries, or for use in commercial or industrial applications. Risk of injury!Never load commercially available non-chargeable batteries into the appliance ­ these can overheat and explode. Safety instructions! · Never leave the appliance to charge unsupervised. [. . . ] Note: Only insert the battery in the slot on the far left is tested. If you would like to test the other batteries as well, they must be inserted one after the other into this slot. The test function is not available for 9V single block batteries! Ni-Cd batteries should only be recharged when they are almost completely discharged. Otherwise, a "memory effect" is created, where the batteries reduce their capacity to the lower level at which they are actually used. Ni-MH are not susceptible to the "memory effect". 5 c) Discharge Ni-Cd batteries first Ni-Cd batteries that are not fully discharged should be discharged first, to avoid the possibility of "memory effects". If you have inserted up to 4 Ni-Cd batteries, move the switch to the far right, to the position with the "Discharge" symbol. Allow the Ni-Cd batteries to discharge until the test indicator light is barely lit, meanwhile testing the batteries a few times. For this, push the switch all the way to the left, into the position with the symbol , , Test". Important: Do not allow Ni-Cd batteries to become completely discharged, as this may ruin them. Therefore, do not allow the batteries to discharge until the test indicator light goes off completely. The discharge function in the four charging shafts is available for 1. 2 V batteries only ­ not for 9V single block batteries. d) Charging batteries If you have inserted the batteries the right way up, as described at paragraph a) . . . move the switch to the center, to the position with the "Charge" symbol, and . . . · connect the power plug to the power socket. If all batteries have been placed correctly, the charge indicator LED lights up at each charging slot. If a charge indicator LED is not lit, even though the battery has been correctly inserted, then the battery is faulty. Do not, in any circumstances, attempt to charge a faulty battery. A faulty battery can overheat and then explode. · Only charge with the cover closed. This will provide sufficient protection against flying battery parts in the event of an explosion due to overheating. 6 e) Keep to the charging time!The best protection against battery overheating is not to exceed the proper charging time. If you wish to calculate the time exactly, please refer to the technical data for information about the charging current required. You can take the values in the following table as a rough guide: 1. 2V Ni-Cd battery 300 mAh Charging time: 2 hrs. [. . . ] Dispose of the device over a registered waste disposal firm or through your communal waste disposal facility. Observe the currently valid regulations. In case of doubt, consult your waste disposal facility. Batteries may not be disposed of with normal domestic waste. [. . . ]
