OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
ADJUSTING POSITION OF CONTACTS FOR LI-ION BATTERY
CHARGING
1. Remove the protective cover.
2. Adjust the contact terminals of the charger to match the contact points
of your battery. Slide the left and right contact adjusters until they are
properly aligned with your battery’s positive and negative terminals.
Note: The TC-U400 includes safety features, which ensure full and safe
charging for each and every charge. Should you by chance insert
the Li-ion battery in reverse polarity (the positive contact is on the
negative side of the battery, and vice versa), the unit will detect and
automatically adjust itself to ensure a full and safe charge.
CONNECTING THE CHARGER TO A POWER SOURCE:
When the charger is first connected to a power source the LEDs will blink in
sequence from left to right one time to indicate proper functioning.
The 1st LED will remain on as long as the charger is connected to a working
power source. LEDs 2-4 are to indicate charging status. This is covered in
the section “Charging batteries”.
CHARGING BATTERIES Li-Ion BATTERY PACKS
1. If you are charging or powering a USB device, please disconnect the USB
device from the USB port before inserting the Li-ion battery pack.
2. Pull back the slide lock.
3. Place the battery so that it is completely inserted into the charging tray
and battery terminals are aligned with the charger contacts.
4. For larger or longer batteries, press and hold down the release button to
extend the slide lock before inserting the battery.
5. When the battery is properly inserted and contact is made, the LED dis-
play will indicate charging status, and begin the charging cycle.
6. Secure the battery into place with the slide lock.
Note:
Some batteries can be (or may need to be) positioned vertically.

INSTRUCCIONES DE OPERACIÓN
Ajuste de la posición de los contactos para la carga de baterías de Litio-ión
1. Retire la tapa protectora.
2. Ajuste los bornes de contacto del cargador para que coincidan con los
puntos de contacto de su batería. Deslice las piezas de ajuste de contacto
izquierda y derecha hasta que queden correctamente alineadas con los
bornes positivo y negativo de su batería.
Nota: El modelo TC-U400 incluye características de seguridad que
garantizan un proceso completo y seguro para cada carga. Si llegara
a insertar la batería de Litio-ión con la polaridad invertida (el contacto
positivo del lado negativo de la batería y viceversa), la unidad lo
detectará y automáticamente hará los ajustes para garantizar una
carga completa y segura.
