OWNER'S MANUAL
Please read before using this system.
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing LENMAR's OmniSource®
®10•12.
The OmniSource 10•12 can charge virtually all 9.6V, 10V,
and 12V full size and VHS-C camcorder batteries. The
OmniSource 10•12 is an AC/DC Battery Charger and
Reconditioner. Two methods of charging are available. The
Discharge/Charge mode for nickel cadmium batteries will
automatically discharge and then quick charge batteries.
The discharging process eliminates any battery memory,
thereby allowing the battery to be charged to its maximum
capacity. The second method is the quick charge function,
which is especially useful for NoMEM™ batteries and lead
acid batteries where discharging should be avoided.
The OmniSource 10•12 allows you to Charge or
Discharge/Charge your batteries through a standard
household AC outlet or on the road from a 12V cigarette
lighter socket.
The OmniSource 10•12 is a complete, convenient system to
refresh and charge your full size and VHS-C camcorder
batteries.
