2. When the batteries are completely discharged, connect the battery packs to the Y
cables of the recharger. Plug the recharger into a power outlet. Charge both battery
packs at the same time for about 12 hours. During charging make sure the batteries
are turned off.
3. During charging:
the LEDs on the recharger will shine red and the LEDs on the battery packs will shine
green. The batteries are completely charged after 12 hours. There is no optical sign,
the LEDs still shine red on the charger and green on the battery packs.
When using the batteries for the first time or if they have not been used for a long time,
they should be discharged and charged as described above in item 1 + 2.
Plug the recharger into a standard household outlet. Do not use the recharger near
sources of moisture. If you are travelling make sure the power is on and that the power to
that outlet is not turned off with the light switch, as is customary in some hotel rooms. A
shaver outlet is not suitable and should not be used.
It is normal for the recharger to get warm whilst charging.
Charge the batteries at an ambient temperature between 10° - 35° C / 50° - 95° F. The
storage temperature should not exceed 50° C / 122° F otherwise the batteries could be
damaged.
EXCHANGE OF BATTERIES
The NiMH batteries can be recharged up to 500 times. After some years the batteries
might no longer have their full capacity, the batteries can be exchanged for any
commercial AA batteries of any manufacturer.
1. Unscrew the screw on the bottom of the battery pack. (Figure 5)
2. To open the lid, slide it open. (Figure 6)
3. Remove the batteries and dispose of them appropriately, see the instructions “Disposal
of Product”.
4. Put 4 AA batteries in each battery pack (batteries or rechargeable NiCd/NiMH batteries)
5. Close the battery pack firmly, by sliding the lid onto the battery pack. Make sure that
the lid is completely closed.
6. Secure the lid on with the screw on the bottom of the battery pack.
BATTERY CARE
Excessive charging is prevented by the charging control in the battery pack.
Occasional insufficient recharging (less than 12 hours) does not harm the batteries.
However, frequent insufficient charging over a period of weeks does result in a reduction
of the performance capacity. Completely charge the batteries to increase the performance
capacity.
Completely discharging the batteries insures extremely efficient utilization. If this is not
done regularly, the charging capability will also be impaired. To increase the performance
capacity of the batteries, completely charge them, and completely discharge them.
Charging can be interrupted. However, the longer the interruption e.g. a week or a month,
the more important it is to completely discharge and charge the batteries as
recommended.
Fully charge the batteries every 3-4 months to prolong the battery life.
