lighter socket is switched on. Some cars require the ignition to be
switched on.
The charger is now ready for use. You can insert up to 4 AA/AAA (or
combination of both sizes) NiMH or NiCd rechargeable batteries. You
can also connect a USB cable using the USB charging socket to charge
other devices, for example; mobile phone, smart phone or MP3 player.
Insert all batteries with correct polarity, corresponding to the symbols
in the charging slot.
The charger has 3 function buttons; “CURRENT”, “DISPLAY” and
“MODE” (see illustration [2A]). Using these buttons, it is possible to
use the following settings:
1. MODE button
Push the “MODE” button within 8 seconds of inserting 1-4 rechar-
geable batteries, to access one of the following charging programs:
a. CHARGE → Charge batteries. After charging is complete, charger
will automatically switch to trickle charging (Trickle charge will com-
mence after all modes)
b. DISCHARGE → Discharges battery before charging to minimize the
“memory effect” of batteries
c. REFRESH → “DISCHARGE REFRESH” or “CHARGE REFRESH” status
is shown on the LCD display when charger cycles between discharging
and charging. This process will refresh old batteries and bring them
back to the maximum capacity. Refresh will be repeated (max. 10x)
until the charger can no longer register a rise in capacity.
d. TEST → Fully charges battery. LCD display shows “CHARGE TEST”
→ Discharges battery and measures capacity. The LCD display shows
“DISCHARGE TEST”. → Recharges battery, ready for use. LCD display
shows “CHARGE TEST”.
2. CURRENT button
Push the “CURRENT” button within 8 seconds of selecting a charging
program or after inserting batteries in order to select the charging
current for the program “CHARGE” or “TEST”. Alternatively, choose
the discharging current for the program “DISCHARGE” or “REFRESH”.
3. DISPLAY button
Push the “DISPLAY” button whilst charging or discharging to display
the charging/discharging current (mA), the voltage of the rechargea-
ble battery (V), the charging/discharging capacity (mAh or Ah) or the
remaining charging/discharging time (hh:mm).
Once the settings have been selected, the charger automatically
starts with the selected parameters after 8 seconds. If no settings
are chosen, the LCD display will flash after inserting the rechargeable
batteries. First the voltage of the rechargeable batteries as well as
the preset charging program “CHARGE” is shown. Next, the preset
charging current of 600mA is shown. After 8 seconds the charging
process starts automatically using the preset parameters.
By using the 4 charging slot buttons (see illustration [2B]) you can
make individual time settings for each rechargeable battery. To
change a function for a single rechargeable battery, press the corre-
sponding button below the charging slot for the chosen battery. The
display will flash for this battery and you can now change settings,
as described above, for the single charging slot using the function
buttons “MODE” and/or “CURRENT”.
If only one or two rechargeable batteries are inserted in to the char-
ger using the two outer charging slots, the charging current can be
increased up to 1500mA or 1800mA. When charging three or four
