1. D461 : Connect the micro USB end of the USB charging cable to the Micro USB port of the charger dock (Fig. 1a). D861: Connect the round plug of the AC wall charger to the charger dock (Fig. 1b).

2. D461 : Connect the other end of the USB cable to a 2.0 A USB wall charger or other 2.0 A (or above) USB socket (Fig. 1a).
   D861 : Plug the wall charger into a wall socket (Fig. 1b).

3. Insert NiMH rechargeable batteries into battery charger(s). Ensure correct polarity by matching the “+” and “–” symbols on the battery jacket with the markings on the charger (Fig. 2).

4. Place the battery charger(s) onto the charger dock (Fig. 3).
   If connected to a power source of less than 5V/2A, the charger dock may shut down. This will be indicated by red & green flashing LEDs and an empty flashing battery icon ( ) in the display. Connect the dock to a power source of at least 2A and reset the charger by removing and re-inserting it into the dock.

5.  Repeat the steps below to customize the charging of each battery (Fig. 4a).

6.  For D861 only: Press the Slot Selection button ( ) to select the slot(s) (Slot A, B or ALL) (Fig. 4b).

7.  Press the Battery Selection button ( ) to select up to 4 batteries in the slot.

8.  Press the Function Mode button ( ) to select one of the six function modes for the selected battery/batteries (see “Function Modes”).

9.  Press the Confirmation button ( ) to confirm the selected mode and start charging.

10.  During charging, press and hold the Function Mode button ( ) for about 2 seconds to edit the function mode. After editing, press and hold the button again for about 2 seconds to continue the function program.

11.  Charging will commence and the battery icons on the display will show the charging status and progress of the batteries. Refer to Fig. 4c for charging status and Fig. 4d for charging progress.

12.  Once the batteries are fully charged, remove the charger(s) from the charger dock. Remove the batteries from the charger(s) and disconnect the charger dock from the power supply.

Function modes

See below and Fig. 4e for function of each function mode. To select any of these six function modes for a specific battery refer to the “Charging instructions” section.

1. Fast Charging Mode (Default charging mode)
   This mode will automatically start after 5 seconds when a battery charger is placed in the charger dock and no other function mode is selected (Approx. charging time for AA 2100 mAh / AAA 850 mAh batteries: 1.3–2.6 hours, 1–4 pcs).

2. Eco Charging Mode
   Use this mode to optimize the NiMH battery lifespan (Approx. charging time for AA 2100 mAh / AAA 850 mAh batteries: 4 hours).

3. Capacity Check Mode
   Use this mode to check the maximum battery capacity of a slow charging or aging battery. The process may take 10–20 hours for discharging and recharging of the battery.

4. Conditioning Mode
