NOTE: The designated maximum amperage is the total available amperage to be supplied among all 3 outputs. Selecting an amperage less than the maximum
could result in under charging of batteries.
5. Press the
OK
button once desired speed is reached.
NOTE: Selecting High or Low will not necessarily turn the fan immediately on or increase the fan speed. In either of these settings the charger will only alter the fan
