For best results, keep these hints in mind:

    Completely discharge the batteries before you charge them.  Repeatedly
    charging batteries that are not fully discharged can shorten their 
    useful life.

    It is normal for the batteries to become warm while charging.

    You can only charge a single AAA, AA, C, 9V, or D battery in a battery
    chamber at a time.  A 9V battery is charged between two chambers and
    you can only charge one 9V battery between two chambers at a time.

    Do not overcharge a battery.  Prolonged overcharging can shorten the
    battery's useful life.

CAUTIONS:  Charge only nickel-cadmium batteries in this charger.

           Charge batteries in an area between 60 and 85 degrees F.
           Batteries do not fully charge when they are cold.  If the area
           is too warm, the batteries can permanently lose their ability to
           charge.

           Do not try to charge a battery size other than the sizes listed
           or by connecting the battery's terminals to the charging
           contacts with a piece of metal.
