SMART CHARGER
Cellular Phone, Video Camera, and AA/AAA size Battery Charger
INTRODUCTION
SMART CHARGER is a technologically advanced product that uses an
intelligent IC to detect voltage change, temperature change, short circuit, and
time. It is capable of charging, discharging, and deep conditioning 4.8 - 6 -
7.2V Nickel Cadmium (Ni-Cd) and Nickel Metal-Hydride (Ni-MH) cellular
phone and video camera batteries of various models, and can also work with
4, 5, or 6 pieces of AA or AAA batteries with the change of a battery
mounting adaptor.
WARNINGS
1.A new battery pack or batteries which have not been used for several
months have their special characteristics that do not work well with the
battery charger. Please use “Deep Condition Mode” on these batteries to
remedy this condition.
2.This battery charger is designed to work with rechargeable AA and AAA
size batteries, Ni-Cd or Ni-MH cellular phone and video camera batteries of
4.8V, 6V or 7.2V only. Do not attempt to recharge any other types of
battery to avoid safety hazard.
3.It is normal for the battery and the adaptor to become warm when in
operation. Please make sure there is adequate space and air for the
charger to operate.
4. This battery charger is designed for indoor or in-vehicle use only at normal
temperature. Keep the charger away from direct sunlight, moisture, direct
heat, or extreme cold.

speed, and the corresponding LED will light
up at the top right of the unit.
3.As a general guideline, it is recommended
that "NORMAL" or "FAST" speed be used for
most batteries, and the "SLOW" speed setting
be used with batteries that have a small
capacity (i.e. less than 600mA), although the
optimal speed/charge current differs for each
type of battery.
SELF TEST MODE

functional.
2.Do not place a battery pack on the charger.
