Settings are made by pressing the MODE-button. After about two seconds the charger
activates the selected program. The selected program will be restarted next time the
charger is connected.
The table explains the different Charging Programs:

BATTERIES WITH "UNDER VOLTAGE PROTECTION"
Some Lithium batteries have an on-board UVP (under voltage protection) that disconnects
the battery to avoid it becoming too deeply discharged. This prohibits the charger from
detecting that there’s a battery connected. To bypass this, the battery charger needs to
open the UVP. There are two options available to “wake up” the battery - automatic and
manual.
During the automatic “wake up” period the LED "CHECK" will flash until the charge
program is started and LED "CHECK" is lit with a steady light. Automatic "wake up" will be
active for maximum 5 minutes.
If the charger is in Standby mode after 10 minutes ( power led is flashing) the automatic
wake up did not succeed. Try the manual wake up.
To use the manual “wake up”, press the Mode button for approximately 10 seconds to
bypass the UVP. During the “wake up” period the LED "CHECK" will flash until the charge
program is started and the LED "CHECK" is lit with a steady light. If the manual wake up
is unsuccessful the power LED will start to flash after latest 10 minutes. Disconnect any
parallel loads from the battery and try again. If the charging does not start after that, the
battery may need to be replaced.
POWER LAMP
If the power lamp is lit with a:
1. STEADY LIGHT
The mains cable is connected to the wall socket.
2. FLASHING LIGHT
The charger has entered the energy save mode. This happens if the
charger can’t detect a battery in 2 minutes.
ERROR LAMP
If the error lamp is lit, check the following:
1. Polarity error: Is the charger’s positive lead connected to
the positive charging point? Is the charger’s negative lead
connected to the negative charging point?
2. Is the charger connected to a 12V battery?
3. Has charging been interrupted in "CHECK" or "CARE"?
Restart the charger by pressing the MODE-button. If charging is still
being interrupted, the battery...
CHECK:
...can not accept charge or paralell loads may be
connected to the battery. Remove the paralell loads and
restart the charging by pressing the MODE-button.
...restart the charger maximum 3 times. If the charger
doesn´t continue to Bulk after that, the battery may need
to be replaced.
CARE:
...can not keep charge and may need to be replaced.
