FUNCTION KEYS:

 

There are three easy-to-use function keys and four number keys on the charging unit:     

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Compartment 
Number keys 

DISPLAY 

MODE key 

CURRENT key

 

 

Compartment Number key 

Press and release the Number key to select a particular battery compartment for charge 
modes and/or display mode adjustment.   

 

MODE key   

The mode key shall first be pressed and held for about 1 second to activate the mode change. 
The subsequent pressing of the mode key will toggle between the “Charge”, “Discharge”, 
“Test” and “Refresh” mode. To change the operating mode for an individual rechargeable 
battery, first press the corresponding NUMBER key then press the MODE key.   

 

DISPLAY key 

Press and release to select the displays of the charging current (in mA), time elapsed (in 
hh:mm), the terminal voltage (in V) and accumulated capacities (in mAh or Ah) during the 
charging or discharging process.   
To change the display content of a particular rechargeable battery, first press the 
corresponding NUMBER key then press the DISPLAY key. 
 

 

CURRENT key 

Press to select the amount of current to be applied (within the first 8 seconds after batteries 
are inserted) in different operating modes (also see “

Start charging the rechargeable 

batteries

” below).   

 

OPERATING MODES OF THE CHARGING UNIT 

This powerful charging unit provides the following operating modes: 
a. 

Charge the rechargeable battery 

(CHARGE)

 – to charge the rechargeable battery, 

automatically switches to trickle charge after the rechargeable battery is full. 

b. 

Discharge then charge the rechargeable battery 

(DISCHARGE)

 – to discharge the 

rechargeable battery then charge it to minimize the memory effect. 

c. 

Refresh the rechargeable battery 

(REFRESH)

 – to refresh the rechargeable battery to 

its maximum capacity by charging and discharging the rechargeable battery repeatedly 
until no further increase in the capacity is estimated. For old rechargeable batteries or 
those have not been used for a long time, refreshing may bring the rechargeable 
battery back to the optimum condition.   

d. 

Check the rechargeable battery capacity in mAh/ Ah 

(TEST)
