Note on standard alkaline batteries:
The charger can charge most types of alkaline batteries. Please use the setting “ALK” on the
sliding front panel of your charger. Please note due to the chemistry of standard alkaline batteries,
they cannot be recharged nearly as many times as standard rechargeable type batteries like Ni-Cd
or Ni-MH batteries. The charger can recharge most standard alkaline batteries 75-90% of their
original capacity, up to 30+ times which is really depending on the quality and condition of the
battery. Please make sure there’s no dirt, rust or leakage on your standard alkaline battery and the
battery hasn’t passed the expiration date before you charge them. To prevent battery leakage,
please use the alkaline battery within 3 days after charging.
Please note that this charger is intended to charge rechargeable Ni-Cd, Ni-MH and RAM batteries
AA, AAA, C, D and 9v block batteries. Not AllAlkaline batteries can be recharged.
On an environmental note, the cost/performance comparison between standard alkaline batteries
and rechargeable batteries such as Ni-Cd (Nickel Cadmium) and Ni-MH (Nickel Metal Hydride),
rechargeable batteries are more cost efficient with better performance. Using rechargeable
batteries can reduce the waste to our environment.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
1、This charger can charge 4 kinds of batteries Ni-Cd、Ni-MH, RAM &Alkaline.
Each charging bay functions independently
Charge up to 4 batteries simultaneously.
Note: Batteries must be the same type when charge them together (Ni-Cd、Ni-MH or
alkaline)
Accommodates both AA、AAA、C、D and 9V batteries.
Battery type is preselected, therefore only one type (Ni-Cd, Ni-MH, RAM or alkaline
(Ram Setting)) battery can be charged at one time
This charger uses the latest battery charging technology. It uses “Negative Delta V”
deletion when charging Ni-Cd &Ni-MH battery first, followed by a quick charge. Once
the battery is fully charged, a constant current trickle charge will keep the battery at
optimum capacity.
2、Discharging Ni-Cd only:
Discharge times will very depend on capacity and charge state, typically the process could take
up to one hour, before the charge cycle commences.
During the discharge process the indicator LED will glow amber
3、Operation
Please read the following instructions carefully before first use of the Charger.
Connect the AC adaptor to the charger with the DC connector end.
Insert theAC plug into the household power supply and make sure the power supply is

9
normal. LED power indicator light will turn on after the charger is plugged in.
Select the required battery type by moving the battery selector switch between
Ni-Cd ,Ni-MH or ALK.
Insert batteries into the charging bay and make sure to match the correct polarity(+ is near
the LCD display)
After approximately 2 seconds the charger will automatically detect the status of the battery.
Once battery detection is complete, one of the following charging programs will commence.
Ni-Cd batteries:A characteristic of a Ni-Cd battery is that it has memory which means after
charging the battery repeatedly, the capacity of the battery will be significantly reduced. To
improve the battery’s condition, the charger will discharge the battery first (LCD linking
“DIS”& energy LCD indicator flashing downward) while LED indicator is illuminated
yellow. Once the discharge cycle is completed, the charger will begin the quick charge
program (LCD blinking “CHA”& energy level indicator flashing upward) while the LED
indicator illuminates red.
When the battery is fully charged, the LCD will show “OK”& energy level indicator
showing full. The LED indicator turns green.
Ni-MH & Alkaline batteries: Since neither Ni-MH norAlkaline battery has memory, the
charger will automatically start the quick charging program. Both LCD & LED will have the
same display as for charging Ni-Cd battery.
When charge 9V battery, the LED light on top will light up in Red color. The LED light
will turn Green when 9V battery is fully charged.
We suggest you to use the fully charged batteries within 3 days. If you forgot to remove the
battery from the charger after it’s fully charged, the charger will automatically trickle charge
the battery keeping it at its optimum capacity. But for Alkaline battery, please remove the
battery from the charger and use it within 3 days to prevent leakage.
