OPERATION GENERAL CHARGING HINTS • It is normal for the batteries to become warm while charging. • Charge batteries in an area between 32° and 113°F (0° and 45°C). If the area is too warm, the batteries can permanently lose their ability to charge. • Do not try to charge batteries other than those listed in this manual, or use procedures other than those described in this manual. CHARGING BATTERIES 1. Lift up the cover to open the charging chambers. 2.
• You can charge two different sizes (AA and D, for example) of batteries of the same type (Ni-Cd or Ni-MH) in the left and right chambers, as long as both batteries in each chamber are the same size. • You can charge four AAA, AA, C or D batteries at the same time while the 9V battery chambers are empty. 4. To charge a 9V battery, insert it into one of the terminals inside either chamber. To charge a second 9V battery at the same time, insert it into the remaining terminal.
6. When you finish, unplug the charger from the AC outlet, then remove the batteries from the charger.
