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.

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.
OPERATION
Rapid Charge Mode (Default)
