To prevent damage to this charger or injury to yourself or
others, please read the following operating instructions, espe-
cially the caution advices, before usage. Keep these operating
instructions for your reference when needed.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Congratulations on your purchase of this tecxus product. The
TC 1000 LCD plug-in charger is an intelligent charger that
charges up to 4 Ni-MH/Ni-CD AA/AAA batteries. Offering the
very latest in intelligent microprocessor technology, this feature
packed charger will give you hours of portable, safe and easy
charging.
Charges 1-4 AA/AAA Ni-MH Ni-CD batteries.
The TC 1000 LCD will charge any combination of 1-4
AA/AAA NiMH or NiCD batteries.
Timer Control Protection.
The charger automatically detects the correct charging time
needed and the main charging current changes too trickle
current. For safety reasons, the charger always shuts off the
main charging current and switches to trickle charge after
6, 9 or 12 hours, regardless of the charging status.
4 Independent Charging Channels.
Any combination of AA/AAA batteries can be charged
5 Level Charger Protection.
- DV cutoff. With this high sensitivity –DV detection
the unit stops charging once it detects that the
batteries are fully charged. Timer Control Protection.
The unit stops charging if the charging time exceeds
6, 9 or 12 hrs. depending on battery type. Reverse
Polarity Protection. Electrical circuits protect the
charger and batteries from incorrect battery insertion.
Over Current and Short Circuit Protection.
The TC 1000 LCD not only maintains
a constant charging current during the charging cycle
but also protects the charger if you attempt to charge
shorted batteries. During a short circuit situation the
indicator will flash on and off repeatedly.
Defective and Non-rechargeable battery detection.
This feature protects the charger if you attempt to
charge defective or non-rechargeable batteries.
Note: Attempting to charge Alkaline batteries may
cause battery fluid leakage.
- AC 100-240 V World Voltage Switch Adapter enables
use of the charger in many countries.
- Trickle Charge Feature. After the batteries are fully
charged, there will still be a small current applied to
the batteries to maintain the full charge by minimizing
loss of charge through current leakage. There
fore the batteries can sit in the charger until you
need them.
- Low Battery Current Leakage. If the battery charger
is not connected to the input power and batteries
are left in the charger, normally batteries will
discharge. The TC 1000 USB will minimize such
loss of charge

HOW TO USE
QUICK START
Please follow these steps to get a Quick Start using
the TC 1000 LCD Charger.
1. Insert the batteries into the charger.
2. Connect the charger to a suitable power supply.
4. The LCD display lights up to indicate the
corresponding battery icon.
5. When fully charged the icon stops flashing.
6. Remove the batteries. Batteries may also be left in
the charger for a while; until they are needed
(Power should still be connected to maintain the
charge. However, in order to protect the enviro-
ment and for safety reasons, the charger should not
stay connected over long periods without
supervision.)
CHARGING:
1. Insert 1 to 4 AA/AAA batteries in the battery
compartment.
2. Connect the charger to the mains power source. The
LCD will turn on to indicate charging is in progress.
A battery icon displays charging for each individual
battery
3. When the battery icon stops flashing, charging is
complete. Unplug the charger and remove the
batteries when fully charged or not in use.
TIP: Batteries may be hot to touch after charging. This
is normal. However, to prevent any burn injuries please
wait a few minutes before removing the batteries.
How does the TC 1000 LCD charge?
During the charge cycle the charger displays the total
energy delivered to the battery. Depending up on such
factors as temperature, the amount of charge remaining
in the battery, condition of the battery, the charge cycle
may consist of an initial charge, fast charge or trickle
charge. The sequence is closely monitored by the micro-
processor unit to provide intelligent fast charging.
CARE & TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
BATTERY STORAGE
Store batteries in a cool place, free from excessive
temperature or humidity. High temperatures signifi-
cantly increase the aging process. To reduce aging,
fully charge battery packs before long-term (30 days
or more). Discharge and then recharging batteries in
long-term storage at least once every six month.
- If the LCD status indicator does not light up, make
sure that the unit is properly plugged into the wall
outlet. If the indicator still fails to light up or flashes,
the battery may be defective, improperly inserted
or a short circuit may be present. If a short circuit is
suspected please do not attempt to repair the unit
yourself and bring the unit to an authorized repair
center.
- When charging different capacity/type batteries,
the charging time should be calculated based on the
charging times of similar capacity/type batteries.
Please refer to the appropriate charging table.
- Correctly insert the batteries and avoid reversing
the +/-polarities.
- Cut off power after the batteries are fully charged.
- The charger is intended for use with NiMH/NiCD
batteries only. Charging other battery types may
cause explosions, breakage, personal injury or
property damage.
- Incorrect use may result in electric shock.
- For indoor use only. Keep away from humid and
hot places.
- Do not disassemble or reassemble the charger.
