WARNING Batteries (if included) are not charged upon shipping. They must be charged prior to first use.

WARNING Charge only Ni-MH type rechargeable batteries in this charger.

WARNING Batteries may leak or explode causing personal injury if inserted improperly, disposed of in fire, mixed with other battery types, or short- circuited.

1. Insert 2 or 4 AA/AAA rechargeable Ni-MH batteries into the battery compartment; batteries must be charged in pairs. For charging only 2 cells, insert the batteries in the left or right side of the charging terminal (Figure 1) and (Figure 2).

6. Once the batteries are fully charged or the charger is not in use, unplug the charger from the mains outlet and remove the batteries.
7. Begin again at Step 1 to charge the next set of batteries.

CAUTION The USB charge port takes priority over charging AA/AAA batteries. If you have batteries inserted for charging and a device is plugged into the USB port, charging of the AA/AAA batteries will be halted until the USB port is no longer in use. Once the USB device is fully charged and stops using power or it is unplugged from the USB port, the AA/AAA batteries will resume charging automatically. The Green LED indicates when the USB port is in use or available for use. The port has a maximum output of 500 mA. Do not attempt to overload the USB port or damage to the charger or USB device may result.

Bad Cell Detection

When the charge process is started, the charger will detect the batteries. If the batteries are not suitable for charging (i.e. short-circuit or reversed polarity) the LED will start FLASHING rapidly. The damaged batteries should be removed and properly disposed of.

Attention
