OPERATION
CHARGING HINTS
To see what is happening while your
charger is charging AAA, AA, C, or D-
size batteries, watch for these symbols
to appear on the charger’s display.
Cautions:
• Remove all batteries from the
charger at least 3 seconds before
connecting the charger to AC power.
Failure to do so might cause the
charger to lock up during the power
up cycle. If this happens, disconnect
power, remove the batteries, then
reconnect power.
• All batteries loaded into the
charger’s chambers must be of the
same size and type.
• Do not try to charge a battery of a
size other than those listed in this
manual. Doing so could damage the
batteries and charger.
• Before unplugging the adapter from
the AC outlet, remove the batteries
to prevent leakage that will damage
the charger.
