6. Operating Instructions
Follow these steps to charge your rechargeable batteries:
- Inserite batterie: Insert 1 to 4 AA or AAA NiMH/NiCd batteries, or 1 to 2 9V NiMH/NiCd batteries into the corresponding charging slots. Ensure correct polarity (+ and -) as indicated on the charger and batteries.
- Automatic Charging Start: The charger will automatically detect the battery type and begin the charging process. The LED indicator for each slot will illuminate green, indicating active charging. If a red LED appears, the battery is defective (refer to Troubleshooting).
- Status di carica:
- LED verde (fissu): A batteria hè in carica.
- Green LED (Solid, after charging): Battery is fully charged and the charger has switched to trickle charge.
- LED Rossu (Fissu): Defective battery detected. Remove the battery.
- Tempu di carica: Charging time varies depending on the battery capacity and discharge level. For typical AA batteries (2500mAh), charging can take approximately 2 hours. Refer to the "Charging Time Table" in the Specifications section for estimates.
- Eliminate e batterie: Once the LED indicator for a battery turns solid green (indicating full charge), you can remove the battery. The charger will automatically stop charging that specific slot.
