Ready: The LED continuously glows green:
Full charged
Refreshing: The LED blinks alternatively red
and green: The batteries are being discharged
for max. 10 minutes. (

: The batteries are being charged.
Error:
The LED blinks red:
The inserted batteries are not positioned
correctly in the charging slot or are defective.
Precharging
:
and afterwards being charged with a battery-
sparing impulse loading for ca. 3 minutes at a
reduced charging current.
Note:
Should type C or D batteries be charged in the outer charging
slots, the operating condition is displayed by the inner LED´s.
Warning!
The batteries could become hot during charging. After charging
batteries, first remove the power cable of the Universal Battery
Charger from the plug socket. Then allow the batteries to cool
down before removing them from the Universal Battery Charger.
NEVER touch hot batteries! There is a danger of being burnt!
Afterwards you can remove the charged batteries from the
Universal Battery Charger.
Average charging times
Depending on the type, age and remaining charge in the batteries,
the charging process can take various lengths of time. The average
charging time can be taken from the following table. Take note
however that the times given are only guiding values.

Calculating the charging time
This charger has an automatic charging control /Retention
charging.
This Universal Battery Charger controls the charging time for re-
chargable batteries of the types Ni-Cd and Ni-MH separately. This
control is based on the - U („minus Delta U“) calculation.
In mathematics, with Delta
differences are described.
„Minus Delta U“ in this case means a negative voltage difference.
This charge identification makes itself useful in the following effects:
Should a battery be charged with a constant current, its voltage
rises continuously. When the battery is full, its voltage reaches a
maximum and falls lightly with further current flow. This light fall
in voltage is recognised by the charging electronics and the charge
process is terminated. The Universal Battery Charger automatically
switches to "Retention charging".
Charging 9 Volt rechargeables
The charging time for 9 V-Block rechargeeable will not be automa-
tically detected.
You can calculate the charging time for a 9 V battery and using
the following formula: Charge time = (Battery capacity (mAh) /
charging current (mA)) x 1.4
Troubleshooting
The Universal Battery Charger displays no functions.
• Check to see if the power cable is correctly inserted into the
power socket.
The inserted batteries are not being charged:
• Check that the batteries are being inserted in accord with their
polarity.
• Check that batteries suitable for charging have been inserted
into the Universal Battery Charger. Suitable for charging are
exclusively rechargable Ni-Cd and Ni-MH batteries of the types
AAA / AA / C / D and 9V Block batteries.
• Remove the power cable from the power socket and allow the
appliance to cool down, as the temperature monitoring has
possibly activated itself.
Other malfunctions
Make contact with one of our service partners close to you if:
• the malfunction cannot be corrected as described above,
• or, when operating the UniversalBattery Charger, other mal-
functions occur.
Charging over USB device
You can charge devices with USB-input over this USB-entrance.
Connect your device by USB cable with the Universal charger.
ATTENTION: separate the external device from the charger when
the external device is fully charged.
Cleaning
Clean the housing of the Universal Battery Charger only with a dry
cloth. For stubborn soiling use a lightly moistened cloth. When
cleaning ensure that no moisture can permeate into the Universal
Battery Charger!
Never clean the insides of the charging slots with moist cloths.
Instead, use a clean soft brush to clean them. Under no circum-
stances should you use abrasive or chemical cleaners.
Disposal
Dispose of the appliance through an approved disposal
centre or at your community waste facility. Observe the
currently applicable regulations. In case of doubt, please
contact your waste disposal centre.
Disposal of batteries!
Clean the housing of the Universal Battery Charger only with
a dry cloth.
Batteries must not be disposed of in the household waste.
Every consumer is legally obligated to dispose of batteries at
a collection site of his community / city district or at a retail
store.
This obligation is intended to ensure that batteries are
disposed of in an environmentally safe fashion. Only dispose
of batteries when they are fully discharged.
Packaging
Dispose of packaging materials in an environmentally
responsible manner.
