Discharge Ni-Cd batteries first | Kompernass KH 967 instruction

c) Discharge Ni-Cd batteries first

Ni-Cd batteries that are not fully discharged should be discharged first, to avoid the possibility of "memory effects".

If you have inserted up to 4 Ni-Cd batteries, move the switch to the far right, to the position

with the "Discharge" symbol.

Allow the Ni-Cd batteries to discharge until the test indicator light is barely lit, meanwhile testing

the batteries a few times. For this, push the switch all the way to the left, into the position with the symbol „Test“.

Important: Do not allow Ni-Cd batteries to become completely discharged, as this may ruin them. Therefore, do not allow the batteries to discharge until the test indicator light goes off completely. The discharge function

in the four charging shafts is available for 1.2 V batteries only – not for 9V single block batteries.

d) Charging batteries

If you have inserted the batteries the right way up,

as described at paragraph a) ...

move the switch to the center, to the position with

the "Charge" symbol, and ...

•connect the power plug to the power socket.

If all batteries have been placed correctly, the charge indicator LED lights up at each charging slot.

Danger! If a charge indicator LED is not lit, even though

the battery has been correctly inserted, then the battery is faulty. Do not, in any circumstances, attempt to charge a faulty battery. A faulty battery can overheat and then

explode.

•Only charge with the cover closed. This will provide sufficient protection against flying battery parts in the event of an explosion due to overheating.
