When powered on for the first time the X2-400 will load a set of default parameters most 
commonly used by most users. The screen displays the information in the following 
sequence. The user can customize the parameters on each screen to suit their own 
preferences.

To change the parameter values in the program, press the 

Start/Enter

 key to choose the 

parameter you want to change. Once the parameter is blinking you can change the value 
with the 

INC

 (up/forward) or 

DEC

 (down/back) keys. The value will be stored by pressing 

the 

Start/Enter

 key once and the blinking stops.

WARNING

DO NOT CONNECT A BATTERY TO THE CHARGER BEFORE SETTING 
UP THE DEFAULT USER PREFERENCES 

Main User Setup Screen 

The first screen displayed is the Lithium battery set-up screen, you 
can press 

ENTER

 to bypass this screen and go to the next user 

setup screen, or you can set the default Lithium battery type before 
moving on.

The Lithium Battery Select Screen 

Here you can choose one of the three kinds of Lithium batteries 
supported by the X2-400, LiFe (3.3V), Lilo (3.6V) or LiPo (3.7V). If 
you plan to use one type of Lithium chemistry battery you can set the 
default here. 

WARNING:

 Make sure when you connect your battery 

that you have selected the proper type of battery before you begin 
charging your battery. Once you have established the desired 
settings press 

Start/Enter

 to confirm the setting then press 

INC

 to 

move on to the next parameter. 

LiPo /LiIo/LiFe Check Time

  

To avoid an erroneous setting by the user the X2-400 will automati-
cally detect the cell count of a Lithium battery at the beginning of the 
charge or discharge process. To prevent an over-discharged battery 
from being detected incorrectly, resulting in an error, you can set a 
time limit for the processor to verify the cell count. The default setting 
is 10 minutes which is typically enough time to properly detect the 
cell count. It is not recommended that you change this setting as 
setting to long of a “Check Time” can produce dangerous results. 
Once you have established the desired settings press 

Start/Enter

 to 

confirm the setting then press 

INC

 to move on to the next parameter.
