This menu controls the time delay in minutes between charge-discharge cycles.
A battery on the cyclic process of charge and discharge can often become warm
after a charge or discharge period. The program can insert a time delay to occur
after each charge-discharge cycle to allow the battery adequate time to cool
down before being subjected to the next charge-discharge cycle. This helps to
prevent your battery from overheating and being damaged.
1) From within the USER SET PROGRAM menu,
press the DEC or INC buttons to display the
WASTE TIME menu.
2) Press the ENTER button. The minutes value
will flash. Press the DEC or INC buttons to
select the desired minutes value, then press
the ENTER button to store that value. Choose from 0 to 60 minutes.

This menu controls the charger’s safety timer. When you start the charging
process, the safety timer automatically starts running. The safety timer helps
to prevent overcharging the battery if the battery proves to be faulty, or if the
termination circuit cannot detect the battery as being fully charged. The value for
the safety timer should be generous enough to allow a full charge of the battery.
The value you program will differ based on the capacity of the battery you’re
charging and how many amps you’re charging it at. For example, if you’re
charging a 3000mAh NiMH battery at 3.0 amps, it will take approximately 1 hour
to charge, therefore, program the safety timer value to approximately 90 minutes.
1) From within the USER SET PROGRAM menu,
press the DEC or INC buttons to display the
SAFETY TIMER menu.
