3. Important safety instructions!
•
Never leave the device charging without supervision. Rechargeable batteries get hot when
nearing full charge. Overcharged or defective rechargeable batteries can overheat and explode.
•
Do not touch hot rechargeable batteries!
It is better to disconnect the device from the power
supply and allow the rechargeable batteries to cool down before removing them.
•
Do not expose the device to additional
heat sources
such as sun radiation or heating. In this
way you prevent premature overheating of the rechargeable batteries.
•
If you charge several rechargeable batteries simultaneously: always insert only
identical
rechargeable batteries,
i.e. the same
type
, the same
charge condition
, the same
size
and the
same
capacity
. In this way you prevent that individual rechargeable batteries are already fully
charged and get hot while others are still being charged.
•
Use the
mains charging adapter only in dry rooms
, never in moist areas, where there is a
danger of electric shock.
•
Do not continue using the
mains charging adapter
under any circumstances if it
fails to work
or is damaged
. The mains charging adapter cannot be repaired – have it replaced by the
service or specialist dealer.
•
Never open the housing
of the mains charging adapter or the rechargeable battery quick
charger, it does not contain any control elements whatsoever. Caution – risk of accidents!
•
Do not allow
children and frail persons
to handle rechargeable batteries and the quick battery
charger without supervision – since they might not always be able to correctly judge possible
hazards. Rechargeable batteries pose considerable dangers to children if they put rechargeable
batteries in their mouth (toxic heavy metals) or short-circuit these during playing!
•
Only charge
rechargeable battery
types marked with
“NiCD”
or
“NiMH”
. Never charge any
other types, especially never ordinary batteries – not even if it concerns ordinary so-called
“rechargeable” batteries.
These require an entirely different charging technology
. If such are
inserted in NiCD/NiMH chargers, such cells could overheat and explode.
4. Inserting rechargeable batteries
Rechargeable batteries must always be recharged
in pairs
– individual rechargeable batteries
cannot be charged.
•
If you wish to charge
two rechargeable batteries
, place them in the
right charging shaft
.
•
If you wish to charge
four rechargeable batteries
, insert two rechargeable batteries
in the left
and two rechargeable batteries
in the right charging shaft.
•
Ensure that the rechargeable batteries are
inserted correctly
, i.e. that the
+/- marking
in the
charging shafts corresponds with that on the rechargeable batteries (polarity). Otherwise the
charging process cannot start.
Always insert only
identical rechargeable batteries
, i.e. the same
type
, the same
charge
condition
, the same
size
and the same
capacity
. In this way you prevent that individual
rechargeable batteries are already fully charged and get hot while others are still being charged.
5. Charging
If you have correctly inserted two or four rechargeable batteries as described on the previous
page…
•
close the
lid
of the device.
•
insert the device plug of the mains charging adapter in the
charging jack
on the side of the
device and …
•
then the
mains charging adapter

ing a rechargeable battery,…
-
continuously
, for as long as the rechargeable battery is being charged,
-
slowly flashing
, when the charging process has been completed,
-
not
, if the rechargeable battery has not been inserted correctly,
-
rapidly flashing
, if the rechargeable battery cannot be charged.
6. Charging with the storage boxes
For transport or storage of the loose rechargeable batteries, two storage boxes are supplied in
which the rechargeable batteries can also be charged immediately.
•
Insert the
four
identical rechargeable batteries in the storage box so that the
+/- marking
in the
individual compartments corresponds to that of the rechargeable batteries (polarity) otherwise
the charging process cannot start.
•
Slide the filled
storage box
with the
contacts first
in the shaft at the bottom of the device until it
engages
audibly.
•
Insert the device plug from the mains charging adapter in the charging jack
on the side of
the device and …
•
Then the
mains charging adapter
in the socket
•
The charging process starts now. If the rechargeable batteries have been inserted correctly the
green LED
above the shaft will be illuminated …
-
continuously
, for as long as the rechargeable batteries are being charged,
-
flashing
, when the charging process has been completed.
To remove the storage box
, press the red lever and pull out the storage box.
