USN3 PRO
Operating Instructions
This product is designed specifically for Sony NP-FM500H/NP-F730/NP-F750/ NP-F770/NP-F970/NP-F550 batteries. It supports charging batteries in both slots simultaneously. The output current is adjusted automatically according to input current to reach the optimal charging setting. This product shall NOT be used with other batteries not specified in this manual.
Charging Modes
The USN3 Pro has 2 charging modes (QC Mode and Standard Mode).
QC Mode: The USN3 Pro is QC 2.0 available. When connecting to a QC
supported device (or adaptor), the display will show “Quick Charge” on the
upper left corner. In this status (Input Voltage: 9V), it can charge 2
batteries simultaneously with a max output current of 800mA in either slot, or
1 battery with a max output current of 1,200mA.
Standard Mode: In this status (Input Voltage: 5V), it will charge the
battery which is put in first with a max output current of 1,000mA, and then
charge the other when the first battery is fully charged.
Automatic Current Adjustment
The USN3 Pro’s actual output current depends on the maximum power supplied from the USB power source. The output current will be adjusted based on the actual power being inputted to the device, increasing its efficiency while shortening charging duration.
Battery Health Monitoring
Once the battery is inserted, the USN3 Pro will proceed with an initial low
current test charge to diagnose the battery status. After the diagnosis, the
battery status will be shown as Good, Normal or Poor.
Note: Re-insert the battery when “Poor” appears on screen to eliminate
the possibility of a poor battery contact, replace the battery if “Poor” comes
up on screen consistently.
Reverse Polarity and Anti-Short Circuit Protection
The USN3 Pro makes use of the mechanical reverse polarity protection. Inserting incompatible batteries or incorrect battery installation will prevent the initiation of the charging process. The error message “EE EE” will come up on the LCD display when a short circuited battery is installed.
Over Discharged Battery Activation
The USN3 Pro will automatically activate over discharged battery caused by
improper storage or misuse.
NOTE: this function only available for batteries with protective circuit.
