Operation

To make sure that a rechargeable battery still works faultlessly after a longer period of

time (without memory effect), it is recommended only to connect discharged rechargeable

batteries in the case of NiCd rechargeable batteries. Furthermore rechargeable batteries

should be discharged/charged once a month (self-discharge, loss of capacity).

1. Connect the charger to a mains outlet (230 V/AC, 50 Hz).

2. Insert the battery pack into the charger - the control LED lights up as long as the battery pack is connected

to the plug battery charger.

3. The charge current is not automatically disconnected. To avoid overloading and destruction of the battery

pack it is absolutely necessary to stop the charging process when the prescribed charge time (see table)

Number of cells (volt) Charge time per 100 mAh

4 (4.8 V) 20 min

5 (6 V) 30 min

6 (7.2 V) 40 min

7 (8.4 V) 50 min

8 (9.6 V) 60 min

Determining charge time

Find the charge time per 100 mAh battery capacity for the relevant number of cells as given in the charge

timetable and multiply this number by the capacity of the battery pack.

Example:

6-cell battery pack (7.2 V) with 1000 mAh

Charge time for each 100 mAh acc. to table = 40 min

10 x 40 min = 400 min = 6 h 40 min charge time

The charger does not feature automatic switching-off. When the determined time of charging has

reached, the charger needs to be separated from the mains rst and then from the battery pack.

Maintenance and cleaning

Do not use carbon-containing cleaning agents, petrol, alcohols or similar agents. This

can attack the surface of the charger. The fumes are furthermore a health hazard and

explosive. Moreover, you should not use sharp-edged tools, screwdrivers or metal bru-

shes or similar for cleaning.

Direct contact with water and humidity is to be strictly avoided! Operation is only permitted in dry and closed

areas. A dry lint-free cloth is recommended to use for cleaning the housing; use of cleaning agents should

be strictly avoided.

Disposal

a) General

Used electronic devices are raw materials and must not be disposed of in the domestic waste.

When the device has reached the end of its service life, please dispose of it according to the

current statutory requirements at your local collecting site. Disposal in the domestic waste

is not permitted!

b) Batteries and rechargeable batteries

You as end user are under legal obligation (Battery Regulation) to take back all used batteries

and rechargeable batteries. Disposing of them in the domestic waste is not permitted.

Batteries/storage batteries containing harmful substances are marked with the following sym-

bols, which point out that disposal in the domestic waste is prohibited. The designations for

the relevant heavy metals are the following: Cd = cadmium, Hg = mercury, Pb = lead. You can

return used batteries/rechargeable batteries free of charge to any collecting point in your local

authority, to our stores or to any other store where batteries/rechargeable batteries are sold.

In this way you comply with the legal obligations and make your contribution to environmental protection.

Safety Instructions

We do not assume liability for resulting damages to property or personal injury if the

product has been abused in any way or damaged by improper use or failure to observe

these operating instructions. The warranty/ guarantee will then expire!

The icon with exclamation mark indicates important information in the operating in-

structions. Carefully read the whole operating instructions before operating the device,

otherwise there is risk of danger.

a) Persons / Product

• The product is not a toy and should be kept out of

reach of children!

• The device must only be operated at 230 V/AC,

50 Hz.

• Strictly observe the charge times and technical

data in the operating instructions. Non-adherence

to these instructions causes damage to the de-

vice or the battery pack.

• Only NiCd and NiMH battery packs may be

charged with the device.

• The charger’s structure complies with safety

class II (double insulation). Make sure the insu-

lation (of the housing and/or the output line) is

neither damaged nor destroyed.

• Transmitting devices (radio-telephones, transmit-

ting installations for model constructions etc.)

must be kept away from the charger, since the

incident transmitting radiant emission could lead

to interference of the charging process and/or the

destruction of the charger and therefore also the

rechargeable batteries.

• In schools, training facilities and hobby work-

shops, operation of the product is to be super-

vised by trained, responsible personnel.

• In commercial institutions the accident prevention

regulations of the commercial trade organization

for electric installations must be strictly observed.

• In the case of improper handling (too high charg-

ing currents or wrong polarisation) the recharge-

able battery might be overloaded or destroyed.

In worst case the rechargeable battery might

explode and can cause substantial damage.

• The charger should be disconnected from mains

supply and the battery pack after use.

• The charger must not be covered with newspa-

pers, books or similar, to avoid possible damages

(due to heat generated during charging).

• When used in conjunction with other devices,

observe the operating instructions and safety

notices of connected devices.

• The product must not be subjected to heavy me-

chanical stress.

• The product must not be exposed it to extreme

temperatures, direct sunlight, intense vibration,

or dampness.

• If there is reason to believe that safe operation is

no longer possible, the device is to be put out of

operation and secured against unintended opera-

tion. Safe operation is no longer possible if the

device:

- shows visible damages,

- no longer works,

- was stored under unfavourable conditions for

a long period of time or

- was subject to considerable transport stress

b) Rechargeable batteries

• Correct polarity must be observed while connect-

ing the battery packs.

• Battery packs should be removed from the device

if it is not used for a long period of time to avoid

damage through leaking. Leaking or damaged

batteries might cause acid burns when in contact

with skin, therefore use suitable protective gloves

to handle corrupted batteries.

• Battery packs must be kept out of reach of chil-

dren. Do not leave the battery packs lying around,

as there is risk, that children or pets swallow it.

• Battery packs must not be dismantled, short-cir-

cuited or thrown into re. Never recharge non-re-

chargeable batteries. There is a risk of explosion!

c) Miscellaneous

• Repair works must only be carried out by a spe-

cialist/ specialist workshop.

• If you have questions which remain unanswered

by these operating instructions, contact our tech-

nical support service or other technical personnel.
