[. . . ] Fast charger with discharge option for 1-4 nickel-cadmium (NiCd) or nickel-metalhydride (NiMH) rechargeable batteries with sizes of Micro (AAA) or Mignon (AA). FEATURES Plug-in charger with wide-range input for worldwide use; Individual charging circuit for each battery; Continuous battery testing in order to detect short-circuit or high resistant batteries; Automatic start of charging at contact with the battery; NiCd as well as NiMH batteries can be charged at the same time; The battery's charge status before start of charging is not important; A microprocessor monitors each rechargeable battery's voltage during the whole charging period; Constant supervision of voltage levels and termination of fast charge by ­delta V method and safety timer; Automatic switch-over to trickle charging; Charging times depend on capacity of the cells; Optional discharging by push button; after that automatic switch-over to charging mode; Status display via LEDs DISPLAY LED red (1): This LED indicates that fast charging of at least 1 of the cells is in operation. [. . . ] CAUTION Keep the charger in a dry place (indoor use only). In order to avoid the risk of fire and/or electric shock, the unit must be protected against high humidity and water. Do not use the charger if there are signs of damage to the plug, housing or connectors. OPERATION Plug the charger into a convenient mains socket and place the battery/batteries into the battery charging chambers. the charger will then start automatically. The cells do not have to be inserted simultaneously as the charging circuits are completely separate for each cell. When charging is finished, the batteries are provided with a trickle charging current and they can remain in the charger until use without being overcharged or losing capacity. After the discharge of all batteries (which can take up to 8 hours) or after the mains power is temporarily disconnected, the charger automatically switches to charging. a certain amount of heating of the batteries during charging is normal. Remark: If the unit is subjected to severe electrostatic interference the charger may prematurely switch to fast charging during the discharging mode. [. . . ] In order to guarantee a perfect function of the charger keep the contacts inside the charging boxes free of dirt or dust.
