thoroughly before operating this unit. IMPORTANT
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. READ AND SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS.

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

•
Do not charge battery cells other than NiMH or NiCD. AA Batteries
must be able to accept a 2.0A (Rapid mode) / 1.0A (Soft mode) rapid
charge current. AAA Batteries must be able to accept a 0.7A (Rapid) /
0.35A (Soft) rapid charge current.
•
Do not use one-hour rapid charge mode on AA batteries rated under
2000mAh and AAA batteries under 700mAh. To charge them, use the
Soft Charging mode (refer to "Soft Charging Mode").
•
Do not expose the unit to rain or moisture due to the risk of fire.
•
Do not operate the charger if it appears damaged in any way.
•
Always place the battery cells with positive tip facing the top. Incorrect
polarity may cause fire or explosion. Observe polarity diagrams located
on the charger.
•
Do not allow the unit to be exposed to direct sunlight. Operate in well-
ventilated area.
•
Do not allow the battery terminals to become shorted.
•
To reduce the risk of damage to the power cord, always pull by
connector rather than the cord.

This section explains various charging modes and when to use them. To
enable each mode, refer to the "Operation" section.
Rapid Charge Mode (Default)
•
Shortest recharging time (approximately one hour).
•
Suitable for AA batteries with capacity greater than 2000mAh and
AAA with capacity greater than 700mAh.
Soft Charging Mode
•
Maximizes battery life and performance (recharging time
approximately two hours).
•
Suitable for most batteries.
•
Recommended if recharging time is not critical.
Conditioning Mode
•
A special mode which rejuvenates and cycles batteries. Applies a
special initial charge, discharge and recharge cycle which
restores battery performance (requires up to 14 hours to
complete).
•
Conditioning cycle can be used to rescue degraded batteries and
exercise infrequently-used batteries.
•
Recommended once every ten normal charges for NiMH batteries
to ensure performance.
Rapid Charge Mode (Default)
1. Connect the supplied power cord to the power supply unit and connect
to a compatible outlet (100-240VAC, 50/60Hz). Connect the DIN
connector to the charger unit as shown in the figure below.
TIP: When operating the charger outside of its intended region of use,
simply obtain a power cord with a suitable plug type or use a plug-
