Fast Ni-Cad Charger  (230-0233)     Operation          Faxback Doc. # 15514

1.  Open the transparent compartment cover and install the batteries you
    want to charge.  Insert at least two batteries.  Be sure to observe
    proper polarity (+ and -), as marked inside the compartment.  Failure
    to observe proper polarity can damage the charger and the batteries.

    The compartments automatically adjust for different size batteries.
    Never put two different sized batteries in one charging compartment.
    9-volt batteries snap onto the connectors between the chambers.

    Only charge nickel cadmium batteries in this battery charger.  Be sure
    the batteries are fully discharged before charging.  If you repeatedly
    charge a full or partially charged battery, the battery loses its
    capacity to maintain a charge.

2.  Plug the AC cord into a standard AC outlet.

3.  Press [START].  The TIMER indicator lights, and each compartment's
    indicator lights where batteries are inserted.

    If you have inserted batteries in a compartment, and the charging
    indictor for that compartment does not light when you press [START],
    unplug the charger immediately.  Remove the batteries and clean their
    contacts.  Then, reinsert the batteries, confirm correct polarity,
    plug in the charger, and press [START] again.  If the charging
    indicator still does not light, either the charger is not working
    properly or the batteries you are trying to charge are defective.

    The battery charger automatically turns off in 5 1/2 hours.  The
    charging indicator(s) and the timer indicator turn off when charging
    is complete.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Before using the battery charger, read all instructions and cautionary
markings on the battery charger, the batteries to be charged, and the
product that uses the batteries.

CAUTION:  To reduce the risk of injury, charge only nickel-cadmium
          batteries with this charger.  Other types of batteries might
          burst, causing personal injury and damage.

          Do not expose the charger to rain or excessive moisture.

          Use of any attachments not intended for use with this battery
          charger can result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or
          personal injury.  To reduce the risk of damage to the electric
          plug and cord, unplug the charger by pulling on the plug, rather
          than the cord.

          Be sure the cord is located so that it will not be stepped on,
          tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.

          Never use an extension cord with this charger.  Doing so could
          result in a risk of fire and electric shock.

          Never operate the charger if it has a damaged cord or plug.
          Replace them immediately if they are damaged.

          Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, been
          dropped, or if it has been damaged in any way.  Have it repaired
          by qualified service personnel.

          Do not disassemble the charger.  Have it serviced or repaired by
          qualified service personnel only.  Incorrect reassembly can
          result in a risk or electric shock or fire.

          To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug the charger from
          the outlet before attempting any maintenance or cleaning.
