Carbon or Alkaline batteries may cause the charger to display the “DEFECT”. These types of batteries are NOT suitable for this charger.
DEFECT INDICATOR
The “DEFECT” indicator will flash (Figure 6) for a while on the LCD while the charger detects the battery condition. If a defective battery condition is detected, the “DEFECT” sign will remain on until the defective battery(s) are removed.
Warning: This charger will not necessarily recognize all types of defective batteries. Owner discretion is required before attempting to charge batteries of any condition.
If “DEFECT” is displayed, a bad battery has been placed into the charging unit.
