CHARGE COMPLETE
When the charger has determined that the battery is full and fast charge ends, audible tones will sound for about 10
seconds and a new set of screens will show nal results of the charge process like below:

For NiCd and NiMH batteries, the charger will automatically apply a trickle charge to the battery when peak charge ends,
shown in amps “A” on-screen. A trickle current of 200mA will be displayed as “0.20A”. A trickle current of 50mA will be
shown as “0.05A”, etc. The charger will remain in trickle charge mode until the battery is disconnected, or the START
button is pressed.
Trickle charge will NOT be applied to lithium batteries. When fast charge ends, lithium batteries can be disconnected
from the charger and are ready for use.
If the fast charge backup safety timer expires before the battery is fully charged, the display will show “TIMEOUT”. If this
occurs, you might want to attempt to re-peak the battery by starting another charge. Refer to the TroubleShooting Guide
for more details.
To exit the “CHARGE COMPLETE” screens, press to nd the START screen. Then, pressing until the VIEW DATA
screen is found will show all data relating to the last charge that was performed.
CARE AND HANDLING OF NiMH BATTERIES
● Do not to allow NiMH batteries to overheat! Disconnect overheated batteries from the charger immediately and
allow to cool.
● Do not attempt to use the charger’s lithium functions with NiMH batteries.
● Store NiMH packs with some voltage remaining on the cells (refer to battery supplier).
● It is important to recharge NiMH batteries immediately prior to use, as they have a high self discharge rate.
● “AAA”, “AA” and “A” size radio batteries can safely be peak charged at currents up to 1.5C to 2C (battery capacity
1.5 or 2.0). High charge currents can overheat batteries and thus reduce service life, especially for smaller size cells.
