• Hou buite bereik van kinders.
• If a battery shows signs of leakage, discoloration, deformation, or any other abnormality, discontinue use immediately.
• Always replace all batteries in a device simultaneously. Mixing old and new batteries, or different types of batteries, can reduce performance and potentially cause leakage.
• Consult your device's manual for specific battery requirements and compatibility with 1.2V NiMH batteries. Note that 1.2V NiMH batteries may have a shorter runtime than 1.5V alkaline batteries in some devices.
• NiMH batteries are slightly larger than alkaline batteries to meet IEC standards. Verify proper fit in your device.

7. Probleemoplossing

If you encounter issues with your charger or batteries, refer to the following:

• Batteries not charging (Rapid Flashing LED):
  • Ensure the battery is a NiMH rechargeable type. The charger is not compatible with alkaline or other battery chemistries.
  • Check for correct battery polarity. Reinsert the battery, ensuring the '+' and '-' terminals align with the charger's markings.
  • The battery may be defective. Try charging a different NiMH battery to confirm charger functionality.
• Slow charging or reduced battery life:
  • Ensure the charger is plugged directly into a functional wall outlet.
  • Batteries have a limited number of charge cycles. If batteries are very old or have been recharged many times, their capacity may naturally decrease.
  • Ensure the batteries are fully discharged before recharging for optimal performance, though NiMH batteries do not suffer from a "memory effect" as severely as NiCd.
• Laaier word nie aangeskakel nie:
  • Verifieer dat die muuraansluiting funksioneel is deur 'n ander toestel in te prop.
  • Ensure the charger is securely plugged into the outlet.
