QUICK START
To try out your SmartCharger right away without reading the entire manual first, follow
these simple steps to recharge a single battery. For more detailed information and
instructions on how to charge up to four batteries at one time, see Section One.
Warning: Read IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
overleaf
before you start!
1
Make sure there are no batteries installed in the
compartment.
Plug the jack of the AC-DC adapter into the socket of
the SmartCharger. Then plug the AC-DC adapter into a
wall socket (see KEYS AND FEATURES).
Open the lid by pressing the button that is in front of the
lid.
Pull back one of the metal contact plates and insert your
1.2V
Ni-Cd or Ni-MH (AAA, AA, C or D size) battery into
a slot, making sure that the battery is placed so that the
"+"
symbol on the battery is in the same position as the
"+"
symbol inside the compartment. If you wish to
recharge a 1.2V prismatic battery
instead,
first insert the
prismatic adapter into the slot (see section
1.2).
Then
insert the 1.2V prismatic battery. Again, make sure that
the position of
the"+"
symbol on the battery matches
with that of
the"+"
symbol inside the compartment.
Close the lid and watch the LCD as the SmartCharger
evaluates your battery to test its recharging needs.
Charging will then begin automatically. If the battery is
not suitable for recharging, the Bad Battery symbol $
will appear on the LCD. Open the lid, remove the bad
battery and then try another battery!
If you are in a hurry to use the battery you are charging,
you may remove and use it as soon as you see the
Top-
Off/Trickle
Charge icons on the LCD even though,
during
Top-Off
Charge mode, the battery may only be
80%-90%
recharged.
Otherwise,
you can wait until the
battery is fully recharged by looking out for the Charged
Battery symbol
^.
Either way, your battery will be ready
to use, with a new lease on life!
