Operation

1.Place the Fast Battery Charger on a flat, smooth, dry surface near an electrical outlet.

2.Insert 1 to 4, D, C, AA, AAA batteries, or 1 to 2 9V batteries in the Battery Compartment. DO NOT MIX NiCd (NICKEL-CADMIUM) AND NiMH

(NICKEL-METAL HYDRIDE) BAT- TERIES.

3.Slide the Battery Type Switch to select the correct type of battery. For Nickel-Cadmium batteries, set the Battery Type Switch to the NiCd posi- tion. For Nickel-Metal Hydride batter- ies, set the Battery Type Switch to the NiMH position. See illustration.

4.Plug the Charger into a correct house- hold electric outlet. The LED (CH 1, CH 2, CH 3 or CH 4) will glow red col- or to indicate the proper charging. Af- ter the proper charge time is reached (5 hours for NiCd and 8 hours for NiMH, except for 9V of both types, and NiMH D Cells), the red lights will turn off and the trickle charge is on.

The charged batteries are now ready for use. See illustration.

5.Unplug the Fast Battery Charger and remove all batteries when not in use.

Note: When 9V batteries are placed in the Charger the green light at the top of the Charger will come on. After

10 Hours for NiCd (110 mAh) and

15 hours for NiMH (150-160 mAh), remove the 9V batteries from the Charger. The 9V batteries are now ready for use.

Note: The charging of 9V batteries is by manual control. You must observe the charging time. Periodically check the condition of the charger and batter- ies. Do not over charge the batteries. The green light will stay on until you remove the 9V batteries from the Bat- tery Compartment.

Note: Unplug and then re-plug the Fast Battery Charger each time you re- charge the empty batteries, to reset the charger.
