2) Press the ENTER button. The voltage value will flash. Press the DEC or INC
buttons to select the desired Lithium battery type, then press the ENTER button
again to store that value. Choose 3.3V for Li-Fe, 3.6V for Li-Io or 3.7V for Li-Po.
This setting is very important, so make sure you check your battery type
carefully and select the correct program option. If you select the incorrect
program option, the battery can explode during the charging process!

1) Press the ENTER button to open the V.TYPE
menu.
This menu controls the time limit the charger has to auto-detect the number of cells
in your Lithium battery when it’s connected to the charger. The charger recognizes
the cell count of a Lithium battery automatically at the beginning of the charge or
discharge process to avoid incorrect settings by the user. Deeply discharged
batteries can be perceived incorrectly. To prevent this kind of error, you can
program the time interval to verify the cell count by the charger. Normally, 10
minutes is enough to perceive the cell count correctly. For batteries of larger capacity,
you may extend the time interval, but if you program the time interval too long for
small capacity batteries, the charge or discharge process can be finished within
the time interval with an erroneous cell count. If the processor recognizes the cell
count incorrectly at the beginning of the charge or discharge process, you may
extend the time. Otherwise, you are advised to use the default value.

This menu controls the trigger voltage for automatic charge termination of a
Ni-MH battery. The effective value ranges from 5 to 20mV per cell. If the trigger
voltage is programmed higher, there is a danger of overcharging the battery.
If it is programmed lower, there is a possibility of premature termination. Please
refer to the technical specification for your battery to determine the setting to use.
