Timer control
In addition, this charger is fitted with a timer control, which after 17 hours automatically switches over to trickle charge. This serves as additional protection against overcharging should the charge terminating device not respond, due to a possibly defective battery.
Troubleshooting
The Battery Charger displays no functions
•Check to see if the power cable is correctly inserted into the power socket.
•Check to see if the power socket is „live“. To do this, connect a different, functioning electrical appliance to the socket.
The inserted batteries are not being charged
•Check that the batteries are being inserted in accord with their polarity.
•Check that batteries suitable for charging have been inserted into the Battery Charger. Suitable for charging are exclusively rechargable Ni Cd and Ni MH batteries of the types AAA/AA/C/D and 9V Block batteries.
•Remove the power cable from the power socket and allow the appliance to cool down, as the temperature monitoring has possibly activated itself. Temperature monitoring ensures that the charging process is broken off as soon as a bat tery reaches an excessively high temperature.
