Mounting the Batteries
To install the battery -
Typically, you can install the battery onto the
charger plate the same way you install the battery onto your
camcorder.
Follow the guides on the battery and the
charger. The battery should slide easily into place. If it does not, do
not force the battery into place. Realign the guides and try
again.
Align the contacts on your battery with the appropriate
contacts on the charger.
The UDC-2 will automatically detect the battery type and
voltage from the tray.
Charging the Battery
As soon as the battery is properly mounted, charging begins as indicated
by the steady red light on the Charge Status indicator.(Fig. 1 below) When
charging is complete, the green Full Status indicator will turn on (fig. 2). At this
point, the battery can be removed for use. Removing the battery at this point
will not harm it. It is recommended that you leave the battery connected tot he
charger for another 30 minutes to ensure a full or “topped off” charge
Discharging the Battery
To maximize the full power of your NiCad and NiMH batteries, we
recommend discharging before recharging. To discharge, mount the battery on
the tray and press the Discharge button. (Fig. 3 above). The yellow Discharge
Status indicator will turn on. When discharging is complete, the
red Charge Status indicator will turn
on (Fig. 1). Depending on the amount of charge left in the battery, this may
take several hours.
Note: Lith-ion batteries do not require discharging.

Introduction
Congratulations on buying the Sima UDC-2, a universal battery charger for use
with digital camera batteries. Using the AC or DC adapters included, you can
quickly and easily charge your Nicad, NiMH or lithium ion camcorder batteries at
home or in the car.
This package includes: UDC base unit, TrayA, Tray C &
Tray 2, 120V AC adapter, 12V DC car adapter and this instruction manual.
Mounting the Adapter Plates
Some battery models will require the use of an adapter plate (AA/AAA, 1 or 2).
Consult the battery chart in this manual to determine which adapter plate your
camera or camcorder battery requires.
Connect the 12V DC car cord plug
to the power input jack on the rear
of the UDC base. Plug the cigarette
lighter adapter into the cigarette
lighter socket of the vehicle. (See
diagram at right.) The green Full
indicator light will blink once.
