Thank you for your purchase of the REZAP® PRO. Our products are engineered to meet the highest standards of quality, functionality and design. We hope you get the most out of it and enjoy using it for many years to come. IMPORTANT Please read all the information contained in this booklet before using the charger. It gives you important instructions on safety, use, and maintenance of the appliance. Please keep these instructions in a safe place and pass them on, if necessary, to the next owner.
• • • • Do not remove any service covers from the charger. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Any repair should only be carried out by a trained technician at an appointed service outlet. The charger must be stored where weather conditions cannot affect it. The device must not be subjected to humidity, heat sources or immersion in water.
• Built-in dynamic battery tester function measuring the strength of each battery and display its condition on the LCD screen. • Built-in sound alert for the visually impaired. • Built-in dual high power USB ports. • Built-in variable DC-OUT supporting the charging and or powering of many personal digital devices such as digital cameras, video camcorders, portable DVD players, personal media players, PDAs and more.
• Wrong polarity Protection, • Negative delta voltage protection, • Zero delta voltage protection, • Timer Protection, • Cooling fan failsafe protection. The REZAP® Pro, RBC889 complies with the following International Standards for electrical safety: • AS/NZS 3108:1994; AS/NZS 3350.1:2000; AS/NZS 3350.2.29:2001 • EN 206041A; EN 60335.1; EN 60335.2.29 • EMC & C-Tick (AS/NZS 1044:1995); CE (EN50082-1) • FCC Part 15 Class B - ANSI C63.4-1992 • CSA Technical Information Letter No.
AAA-Size 9V AA-Size C-Size STEP 3: OBSERVING THE CHARGERS STATUS. • LCD INDICATORS: Refer to page 4 for a full list of explanations of the essential indicators. • LED INDICATORS: Once batteries are firmly in contact with the chargers battery terminals, the charger’s indicator lights will be activated, showing the different status as follows: Channel 1 Power Channel 4 DC-OUT Channel 2 Channel 3 o o o o USB BLUE LIGHT ON – Power is ON and the charger is ready for use.
STEP 4: INTERACTION WITH LCD CONTROL PANEL. o CHANNEL SELECT BUTTON - when pressed will move the focus point of the LCD screen from the left to the right channel in succession and the cycle repeats as follows: Æ CHANNEL 1 ð CHANNEL 2 ð CHANNEL 3 ð CHANNEL 4 Ê The selected channel shows the charging status and voltage condition of the battery in it under the STATUS heading.
• VOLTAGE SELECTION: Select 4.2V – to power devices accepting 3.0V – 4.5V input. Select 6V – to power devices accepting 5.0V – 6.5V input. Select 8.4V – to power devices accepting 7.0V – 9.0V input. CAUTION: • When the DC-OUT function is used to power or charge external digital devices, proceed with caution and ensure the selected voltage does match with the required input voltage of the device. Failure to do so may result in the damage of the device being powered.
The REZAP® PRO is also equipped with two high powered USB ports located at the back of the unit. By using standard USB cables that come with many digital devices at time of their purchase, the charger can power a range of otherwise unpowered devices or charge up different battery packs in many 5-volt, self-powered devices.
• Charge only Alkaline, RAM (Rechargeable Alkaline Manganese), NiCd and NiMH batteries. DO NOT charge Carbon Zinc (such as those with no battery type printed on them or those labelled as SUPER HEAVY DUTY or GENERAL PURPOSE) or primary Lithium batteries (such as those used in cameras, 3V or 6V and labelled – LITHIUM) in this charger (Refer to Table 1 for details of various different battery types and how to recognize them).
• The charger has four main slots with four corresponding green lights. Only put one battery per slot. Do not try to put one battery on top of another in a single slot. • 9V alkaline batteries are not charged using “individual cell” technique due to their internal structure (multiple cells linked together in series to give a higher battery voltage). Any fault or weakness amongst the cells can result in the battery being poorly recharged or not useable at times.
EXTENDING BATTERY LIFE • Keep extra batteries around for your convenience. Store batteries in a dry place at normal room temperature. • When storing battery-powered devices for long periods (i.e., more than a month), remove the batteries. This can prevent damage to the device from possible battery leakage. Also, the batteries can be used for other applications while the batteries are still "fresh". Batteries should also be removed from equipment while it is being powered by household (AC) current.
GENERAL BATTERY SAFETY TIPS • Do not short-circuit a battery. A short-circuit may cause severe damage to the battery. • Do not incinerate, expose the battery to moisture, rain or sources of extreme heat. • Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The metallic components of the battery will not burn and the burning electrolyte may splatter, explode, or release toxic fumes. • Do not store batteries loosely or carry them loose in your pocket or purse.
