Lithium battery (LiIo/LiPo/LiFe) program

 These programs are only suitable for charging and discharging Lithium batteries 
with a nominal voltage of 3.3V(LiFe), 3.6V(LiIo) and 3.7V(LiPo) per cell. The 
final voltage of charge process is very important; it should be precisely matched 
with the charged voltage of the battery. They are 4.2V for LiPo, 4.1V for LiIo, and 
3.6V for LiFe. The charge current and nominal voltage as for cell count set on 
the charge program must always be correct for the battery to be charged.
 When you are willing to alter the parameter value in the program, press 
‘ENTER/START’ button to make it blinking. Then change the value using ‘INC’ or 
‘DEC’ button. The value will be stored by pressing ‘ENTER/START’ button once.

 The left side of the first line shows the type of 
battery and data number. The value on the left 
side of second line sets a charge current and the 
value on the right side sets the voltage of the 
battery pack. In ’AUTO’ , the charger will check 
the cell-count of battery automatically.
 After setting the current and voltage press 
‘ENTER/START’ button for more than 3 seconds 
to start the process.
(Charge current: 0.1~12.0A, Voltage: AUTO, 1~8 
series)

 This shows the number of cells you set up and 
the processor detects. 'R:' shows the number of 
cells found by the charger and 'S:' is the number 
of cells selected by you at the previous screen. 
If both numbers are identical  you can start 
charging by press ‘ENTER/START’  button. If 
not, press ‘TYPE/STOP’ button to go back to 
previous screen. Then carefully check the 
number of cells of the battery pack to charge 
again.

The screen shows the present situation during 
charge process. To stop charging forcibly press 
‘TYPE/STOP’ button once.
