Caution: All batteries loaded into the charger’s chambers must be of the same size and type.

2.Close the cover. disappears.

First, the charger checks the batter- ies’ condition. Then, if the batteries are more than 60% discharged, the charger’s Intelligent Discharge Sys- tem (IDS) automatically and com- pletely discharges them. The numeric symbol shows the batteries’ voltage, the bars in the amount-of- charge symbol scan down, and the black triangle in the IDS icon flashes to indicate that the charger is dis- charging the batteries.

Note: To stop the discharging cycle, you can press DIS-

CHARGE. The charger begins soft- start charging. How-

ever, repeatedly doing this can reduce the batteries’ maximum capacity.

If the batteries are less than 60% discharged, the charger starts soft- start charging, gradually increasing the charging current to the batteries. The bars in the amount-of-charge symbol scan inward and the black bar in the soft-start symbol icon flashes.

Next, the charger begins fast charg-

ing. flashes, and the charger charges the batteries up to 80–90%

of full capacity. The bars inside the amount-of-charge symbol scan upward.

The charger then enters the top-off charging mode to top off the remain- ing 10–20% of battery capacity.

and and the top bar inside the amount-of-charge symbol flash.

Finally, the charger enters the trickle charging mode, providing a very low current to keep the batteries at their fullest until you open the cover.

and continue to flash and appears. All bars in the amount-of- charge symbol appear.

3.Open the cover and remove the bat- teries.

4.Unplug the adapter from the AC out- let.

Warning: To prevent damage to your charger and risk of electric shock, always unplug the AC adapter from the AC outlet before you plug it into or unplug it from the charger.

Cautions:

•After you unplug the adapter from the AC outlet, wait at least 3 sec- onds before you plug it into the AC outlet again.

•Be sure to remove all batteries before you unplug the adapter to prevent battery leakage that will damage the charger.
