CHARGER OPERATION
The charger will charge Ni-Cd and Ni-MH rechargeable batteries.
Note: The charging process is indicated only by the red indicator light above the appropriate charging compartment.
The indicator
ባ just shows the condition of the batteries during »TEST«, as described in the next section.
a) When you insert the batteries please make sure that the polarity (+/-) is correct and the contact is good.
b) Push the plug into the mains socket (Set the control knob ቢ to "CHARGE").
c) The red LED lights up as soon as the charging process begins.

TESTING RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES
The batteries can be tested in the first slot ቤ (near the switch) only.
1) Set the control knob ቢ to "TEST". The red LED goes out.
2) Place the battery to be tested into the first slot.
3) The charge state indicator ባ shows the residual capacity/battery strength:
– Deflection to the right ("GOOD"): the battery has adequate residual capacity
– Deflection to the left ("DEAD"): the battery is uncharged/no longer useable. Recharge/dispose.
4) Note: battery testing does not interrupt charging of the other slots.
DISCHARGING RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES
• Set the control knob ቢ to "DISCHARGE".
When you insert the batteries please make sure that the polarity (+/-) is correct and the contact is good.
