Note: The charger can activate or revi- talize some chemically dormant batter- ies. If you have new batteries (or batteries that have not been used for a long time) that cannot be fully charged (charged to more than 60% of battery capacity) singly, recharge them three or four at a time, then discharge them com- pletely through normal use. Repeat this process five times. Then, if the batteries will still not fully charge singly, this means you will always have to charge them three or four at a time.

CHARGING A 9V

BATTERY

Refer to the graph on Page 6 for charg- ing times.

1.After connecting power to the charger, simply push the terminals of the 9V battery onto the connec- tors inside the charger, matching the polarity symbols marked next to the connectors. The charger begins charging the battery and the 9V charging indicator flashes.

Notes:

•The cover does not need to be closed to charge the 9V battery.

•You can charge up to 4 AA or AAA batteries, or 2 C or D batter- ies at the same time as you charge a 9V battery.

2.When charging is complete, the 9V charging indicator lights steadily. Remove the battery.

Note: If other batteries are still charging after the 9V battery is fully charged, the 9V charging indicator continues to flash until the other bat- teries are fully charged.

3.Unplug the adapter from the AC out- let.

Warning: To prevent damage to your charger and risk of electric shock, always unplug the AC adapter from the AC outlet before you unplug it from the charger.

Cautions:

•After you unplug the adapter from the AC outlet, wait at least 3 sec- onds before you plug it into the AC outlet again.

•Be sure to remove all batteries before you unplug the adapter to prevent battery leakage that will damage the charger.
