If it is touched the STOP button at the bottom of the display during the actual
discharge process, it appears the display on the left. Tapping “Yes“ will cancel
the further running in the background discharge. Tapping “No“, the window
hides again, and takes the discharge operation run unaffectedly.

Operation Finished

After proper completion of the discharge process the charger emits audible
signals and the display shows corresponding informations.
So tap the window and afterwards, if necessary, the STOP or ESC key to re-
verse to basic display.

Menu CYCLE

In the menu „PROFILE“ you have stored the data of your batteries and these can be added to
the menu „CHARGE“ and „DISCHARGE“ to the charge or discharge parameters. In this menu,
you can now create charge / discharge cycles based on these parameters, in which both types of

cycle, as well as the number of cycles and the pause between cycles within the specifi ed limits are

customized.
The parameters offered by this mode depend on the battery type selected in the menu „PROFILE“.

The selected location is displayed in the upper display and, once this fi eld is highlighted in blue by

touching with a fi nger or the supplied stylus, it can be selected individually. Similarly proceed with

the other option fi elds as shown below.
