5. Charger overview. Main controls.
1,2,3,4 – selects battery slot for
additional operation mode /
electric current changes.
MODE – selects charger
operation mode: charge,
discharge, refresh, test. This
button needs to be pressed for
more than one second to
activate, it can be used together
with “1,2,3,4” button for setting
individual operating modes of
each charging slot.
DISPLAY – switches between
various information: charging/discharging currents,
elapsed time, cell’s voltage, capacity.
CURRENT – selects charging/discharging current for
inserted batteries. Button works for the first eight seconds
after inserting batteries. Can be also used after pressing
MODE button.

7
Power supply.
This charger should be used with
original power adapters only. When the
charger is powered up, LCD display
turns ON, if there are no batteries
inserted the “null” icon should appear.
6. Basic operation.
Once rechargeable batteries are inserted, their voltage
level will be shown on the
LCD display (for example
1.12V). Voltage readings will
be shown for first 4 seconds,
and afterwards for next 4
seconds display will show
“200mA” as default charging current. If not interrupted by
“Mode” and “Current” buttons within 8 seconds, the
default charge mode will start automatically. Operation
mode can be changed for all inserted batteries
simultaneously, anytime by holding “Mode” button, and if
change of electric current value is desired this operation
should be followed by pressing “Current” button. These
changes can be also made individually for each charging
slot by selecting “1,2,3,4” before holding “Mode” button.

8
Defective or completely empty (“0”
voltage) batteries may be
unrecognized by NC 1000 charger,
then “null” icons will be shown and
no further operation will be
possible*.
*Sometimes the most basic, simple charger
with small, 50 150mA charging current is able to revive such completely
discharged cells. If successful they can be charged with NC 1000
afterwards.
Mode selection.
Pressing and holding “Mode” button for about 1 second
activates mode change for all charging slots. Then short
pressing of “Mode” button will cycle between available
operating modes: “Charge”, “Discharge”, “Refresh”, “Test”.
For 4 seconds after selecting the desired operation mode
the user can adjust charging/discharging current by
pressing the “Current” button.
Additional mode/current changes can be applied to
individual cells by selecting each charging slot (pressing
“1,2,3,4” buttons) before using “Mode/Current” buttons.

9
Charging current selection.
For the first 8 seconds after the batteries are inserted user
can adjust charging current by pressing the “Current”
button. Possible values are: 200, 500, 700 and 1000mA.
Changes are applied for all inserted batteries. Charging will
start automatically after 8 seconds from the moment last
button was pressed. If further changes are needed, user
can select desired charging slot (“1,2,3,4” button) and
change mode/current anytime by using “Mode” followed
by “Current” button.
Please note that the recommended charging current
should be set to about 1/4 value in relation to inserted
battery’s rated capacity. For example for the 2000mAh
R6/AA batteries the recommended charging current is
500mA. For the 800mAh R03/AAA batteries the
recommended charging current is 200mA.
Full charge termination method ∆V is less accurate with
lower than recommended charging currents.
7. Overheat protection.
This charger is equipped with
overheat protection. Protected are
both the inserted batteries and the
charger. If temperature of any of the
inserted cells rises over 55 degrees
Celsius or the charger’s internal
circuitry temperature rises over 70

10
degrees then the operation will be interrupted and
“000mA” icon will be shown on display. The process will
resume when the battery’s temperature drops to 40
degrees Celsius or the charger’s internal circuitry
temperature drops below 50 degrees.
8. Operation modes and display readings.
Charge mode – inserted batteries will be charged
automatically with the (pre)selected charging current.
Stage 1. Charging.
Various information can be read by pressing “Display” button – time of
operation, charging current, voltage level, charged capacity in mAh/Ah.
Stage 2. End of charging process, trickle charge is applied
to maintain full charge of the inserted batteries.
