TESTER FUNCTION
The charger has a built-in battery tester, which measures voltage level of
batteries, one at a time, and displays this strength using the 4 green lights.
When a battery to be tested is placed into the tester slot with the rest of the
remaining slots being empty, the voltage level of the battery is displayed for
about five seconds and if the battery is not removed from the tester slot,
automatic charging will proceed. In tester mode, the 4 x Green lights move
horizontally from left to right indicating the following conditions:
• No Green light - battery is dead or voltage is extremely low.
• 1 x Green light - Very Low strength voltage,
• 2 x Green lights - Low strength voltage,
• 3 x Green lights - Medium strength voltage,
• 4 x Green lights - High strength voltage.
NOTES
• The tester shows only maximum 3 Green lights for rechargeable
batteries when "full" as their voltage rating is 1.2V instead of 1.5V like
that of alkaline batteries.
• Some exhausted and or faulty alkaline batteries show a false voltage
of up to 1.5V or higher when measured by means of a volt meter or the
built-in tester, however when you put these to use, they quickly die out.
These batteries should also be disposed of straight away to avoid
eventual battery leakage.
CLEANING
Turn the power off and remove the plug before cleaning of the charger.
• The Plastic Body can be cleaned with a damp cloth and then wiped dry
with a soft cloth. Do not use any abrasive or solvents on any plastic
surface.
• The battery compartment contacts can be cleaned using a piece of cloth
dampened with Methylated Spirits solvent (available from most hardware
stores). Alternatively a clean pencil eraser can be utilised to rub off any
dirt and or deposit that might adhere to them.
