Operation
• This charger may be used to charge up to four rechargeable NiMH and NiCd
batteries of the sizes AA/Mignon and AAA/Micro, C/Baby and D/Mono
simultaneously. This charger may be used to charge up to four rechargeable
NiZn round cell batteries of the type AA/mignon and AAA/micro
simultaneously as well. There also are two charging chutes for NiMH-/NiCd-
9 V-block batteries
Never insert any other rechargeable batteries (e.g. lithium batteries) or even
non-rechargeable batteries into the charger. There is great danger of fire or
explosion!
• Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation during operation. Never cover up
the charger or the mains adapter. Leave enough of a distance (at least
20 cm) between charger and other objects. Overheating causes a danger of
fire!
• The charger may only be connected to a stabilised direct current voltage of
12 V/DC as voltage/current supply (e.g. via the included mains adapter).
• Do not operate the product unattended. Despite a considerable number of
protective circuits, it is impossible to exclude the possibility of malfunctions
or problems during the charging process.
• Do not wear any metal or conductive materials, such as jewellery (necklaces,
bracelets, rings, etc.) while you are working with the charger or batteries.
Short-circuit poses a danger of burns and explosion.
• Never place metal lines and contacts between the rechargeable battery and
the charging slot!
• Only operate the product in moderate climate, never in tropical climate. For
more information on acceptable environmental conditions, see the chapter
„Technical Data".
• Never operate the device immediately after it was taken from a cold room to
a warm room. The resulting condensation may lead to malfunctions or
damage! The mains adapter poses a danger of potentially fatal electric
shock!
Let the product reach room temperature before taking it into operation again.
This may take several hours!
