OmniSource® Li-Ion

Universal Charger for Li-Ion Camcorder & Digital Camera Batteries

PLEASE READ THE INFORMATION AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT.

Introduction

The OmniSource Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) is a fully automatic camcorder battery charger which is compatible with virtually all 3.6 volt and 7.4 volt Li-Ion batteries for 8mm, VHS-C, digital camcorders and digital cameras from Nikon, Kodak, Fuji, Sharp, Sony, Canon, JVC, Panasonic, RCA and other manufacturers. In addition to the other adapter plates for other Li-Ion battery models.

This charger uses an advanced charging circuit, which provides a safe, full charge every time. “Charging” and “Full Charge” status of the battery is shown on the built-in LED indicators.

Flexible power input allows you to use the OmniSource Li-Ion from home with its AC Power Supply or on the road using the DC Cigarette Lighter Adapter included. Avoid prolonged use in an automobile when the engine is not running as it may drain the battery in the vehicle.

Getting Ready

Choose the adapter plate for the type of battery you will be charging. Each of the adapter plates is labeled as to the batteries it can work with. If the charger base does not already have the adapter plate you want attached, you will need to remove the adapter plate first by pushing down on the plate and sliding it to the rear of the charger base (away from the LED indicators). Then, attach the selected adapter plate to the charger unit by aligning the arrows on the sides of the adapter plates and the charger base as shown. While pressing down lightly on the adapter plate, slide the plate toward the front of the charger base until it locks.

Plug-in, either the AC Adapter or the DC Cigarette Lighter power adapter, and connect the other end of the power adapter cable to the power input jack on the rear of the charger unit.

Status LED’s

Together, the three LED’s on the front of the OmniSource Li-Ion will indicate the status of the battery and the charger. See the descriptions and diagrams included in the following sections regarding the various indications and their meaning.

Operation:

Plug-in, either the AC 110V or the DC Cigarette Lighter power adapter, depending on where you are going to use your OmniSource Li-Ion charger unit. Connect the other end of the power adapter cable to the power input socket on the charger unit. While the unit is receiving power, the red Power Indicator LED on the far right, will be on. (See diag.-1).

Diag.-1

Connect the battery to the adapter plate on the charger unit, and the red Charge Indicator LED in the center will turn on to indicate that the unit is fast charging your battery.

Diag.-2

When the red Charge LED turns off, and the green Charge Complete LED, turns on, the charger has switched to “trickle” charge mode and the battery is around 90% charged at this time. The battery will reach 100% charge within 1-2 hours (depending on the capacity of the battery) after the green LED has turned on. Be sure to remove the battery from the charger within a few hours after the green LED has turned on.
