Controls
Commissioning
a) Inserting and charging batteries
• Insert a suitable battery into a charging bay, ensuring that
it is inserted with the correct polarity (see po and
negative/- markings in the battery bay and on the battery
itself). A maximum of 8 batteries can be inserted.
Type C
Micro USB
• Connect the micro USB port or USB-C type port on the
charger to a USB port for the power supply (charging hub
or charger with a capacity as specified in the ‘Technical
data’) using the USB cable (the micro USB cable is
included with the product, the USB-C type cable must be
purchased separately).
Both ports (USB-C type and micro USB) can be connected to the power supply and
it is safe to do so. The charger draws current from the stronger power source, but
never more than the maximum power required.
• The LC display lights up. The charger detects the status of each battery in the charging bay.
Charging begins, indicated by the running bars and the word ‘CHARGE’. See also Section ‘b)
Charging status and display indicators’.
•
If the error message ‘ERROR’ appears on the LC display, the battery is defective or a non-
rechargeable battery has been inserted. Remove the inserted (non-rechargeable) batteries
from the affected bay(s) immediately. Replace them accordingly or insert fully functional
batteries.
•
When the battery has been fully charged and charging is complete, ‘FINISH’ appears.
The error message applies equally to all bays. To determine which (non-
rechargeable) battery in which bay is affected by the error message, you must
remove each battery individually.
b) Charging status and display indicators
Empty
Charging
begins.
Full
Charging is
complete.
The flashing display indicates the progress of
charging. Each individual segment of the bar
indicates a higher charge level. When all the
bars are lit, the battery is fully charged.
The battery/batteries are being charged.
Charging is complete because the battery is
fully charged.
A non-rechargeable battery or a short-
circuited, defective battery has been
inserted. The message applies to all
charging bays. Locate the appropriate
defective battery/batteries or non-
rechargeable batteries that have been
inserted by mistake.
c) Removing the batteries after charging
• Remove the batteries from the charger when they are
fully charged.
• Push the middle batteries out of the charging bay from
below through the hole in the centre of the charger. You
can then easily pick up the other batteries from the side
with your fingers.
• Disconnect the charger from the power supply when you
are no longer using it.
d) Charging times
The charger can select two different input powers (5 V/DC 1 A or 2 A).
The time required for charging is influenced by the capacity, type and condition of the batteries
for the individual types as follows:
Size

Care and cleaning
• Disconnect the product from the power supply before cleaning. Do not immerse the product
in water.
• Never use aggressive detergents, rubbing alcohol or other chemical solutions, as these may
damage the enclosure or cause the product to malfunction.
• Use a dry, lint-free cloth to clean the product.
Disposal
a) Product
Electronic devices are recyclable waste and must not be placed in household waste.
At the end of its service life, dispose of the product in accordance with applicable
regulatory guidelines.
Remove any inserted batteries and dispose of them separately from the product.
b) Batteries
You are required by law to return all used batteries (Battery Directive). They must not
be placed in household waste.
Contaminated (rechargeable) batteries are labelled with this symbol to indicate that
disposal in the domestic waste is forbidden. The abbreviations for heavy metals in
batteries are: Cd = Cadmium, Hg = Mercury, Pb = Lead (indicated on the battery, e.g.
below the waste bin icon on the left).
Used batteries can be returned to local collection points, our stores or wherever batteries are
sold.
You thus fulfil your statutory obligations and contribute to environmental protection.
