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.

You can use the AC adapter which is international capable accepting 100-240VAC (plug adapter may be required in other countries, not included), the DC car cord while on the move or plugged into a USB port on your computer (charge times are increased when USB power is used). Simply plug the desired power cable into the side of the charger unit and the other end into the appropriate power source.

2.Insert 1 to 4 pieces of AA or AAA rechargeable Ni-MH batteries into any open battery location observing the proper battery polarity to the marks in the battery compartment. Do not mix AA and AAA batteries while charging. The Blue backlight will light up for around 10 sec once the batteries inserted correctly. For charging AAA batteries, pull down the adjustable battery contact plate before inserting the AAA batteries into the compartment. The charger automatically adjusts the charging current depending on the size of the battery being charged.
