Li-Ion Camcorder Batteries
PLEASE READ THE INFORMATION AND FOLLOW ALL
INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT.
Introduction
The OmniSource Li-Ion is a fully automatic camcorder battery charger which
is compatible with virtually all 3.6 volt and 7.2 volt Lithium-Ion batteries for
8mm, VHS-C & digital camcorders from Sharp, Sony, Canon, JVC,
Panasonic, RCA and other manufacturers. In addition to the adapter plates
included, you can also purchase additional adapter plates for other Li-Ion
battery models.
This unit uses an advanced charging circuit, which provides a safe, full
charge every time. “Charging” and “Full Charge” status of the battery is
shown on the built-in LED indicator.
Flexible power input allows you to use the OmniSource Li-Ion from home
with its AC Power Supply or on the road using the DC Cigarette Lighter
Adapter included. Avoid prolonged use in an automobile when the engine is
not running as it may drain the battery in the vehicle.
Operation:
1.
Plug-in, either the AC 110V or the DC Cigarette Lighter power adapter,
depending on where you are going to use your OmniSource Li-Ion charger
unit. Connect the other end of the power adapter cable to the power input
socket on the charger unit.
2.
Choose the adapter plate for the type of Li-Ion (Lithium-Ion) battery you
will be charging. Attach the selected adapter plate to the charger unit by
aligning the slots on the adapter plate bottom with the fingers on the
charger base. While pressing down lightly on the adapter plate, slide the
plate toward the front of the charger base until it locks. Then, slide the
battery to be charged onto the adapter plate.
3.
Once the battery has been properly connected to the charger unit, the
charge indicator will glow Red to indicate that this unit has begun to
charge your battery. When the battery is fully charged, the LED will
change from Red to Green indicating the battery is full and charge is
complete. Remove the battery from the charger.
Note:
It is normal for the charger or the battery to become warm during
recharging.
Trouble Shooting Tips:
•
If the Red LED (CHG) indicator does not light up when the charger is
plugged with power and battery has been attached, the battery contacts
may not be touching contacts on base unit. Unplug the unit and check
connection of the battery to the charger. Also, make sure the adapter
plate is the proper one and that it is securely attached to the charger
base.
•
Use a clean dry cloth when necessary to keep the metal contacts of both
charger and battery clean.
