The discharge voltage is fixed, and is detected automatically.
When the discharge process is finished there follows a pause
(mode „P“) lasting three minutes. The charge process then
starts.
If you wish to discharge the battery only, you can interrupt the
cycle at this point by pressing the „DISCHARGE-CHARGE“
button during the discharge process.
You can interrupt the process at any time during the charge
cycle by pressing the „CHARGE“ button. Once the complete
cycle has been completed, mode „F“ appears on the screen,
and you will hear the beeper sound.
During and after the charge process the screen shows the
discharged capacity with the „-“ prefix, and the charged-in
capacity with the „+“ prefix; the two values alternate on the
screen.
The charger now switches to a trickle charge using a current
within the range 50 to 200 mA, depending on the type of bat-
tery connected to it.
Error messages:
If an error occurs, the appropriate error message appears on
the screen and you will hear the beeper sound. After you
eliminate the problem and cancel the message by pressing
any button, the warning signal is switched off, and after about
three seconds the main screen reappears.

The main screen for mode „C“ now appears.
Once the program is started, the unit carries out a „battery
check“. During the charge process the charger checks the
state of the battery without current every minute, and adjusts
the automatic or manual charge current to the optimum level
afterwards.
The current data is displayed on the screen during the
charge cycle and at the end of the cycle.
Pressing the „CHARGE“ button briefly always interrupts the
charge process (mode „R“).
Once the charge process is finished, the beeper sounds and
mode „F“ is displayed. The charger now switches to a trickle
charge using a current within the range 50 to 200 mA,
depending on the type of battery connected to it.
When disconnecting the NC battery always disconnect
the pack from the charge leads first, and only then dis-
connect the charge leads from the charger.
Discharging / charging batteries
Connect the NC battery with correct polarity.
Press the „DISCHARGE“ button briefly to activate the auto-
matic discharge program.
If you wish to set the discharge current manually hold the
DISCHARGE-CHARGE button pressed in continuously; the
current advances in 0.5 A increments. Caution: observe the
current limits stated by the battery manufacturer.
If you are discharging a radio control system battery
check that the cable cross-section and connector do not
place further restrictions on the charge rate.
Release the button once the correct discharge current is
shown on the screen. This activates the program using the
fixed discharge current.
The main screen for mode „D“ now appears.
Once the discharge / charge program has started, you can
set the current for the subsequent charge cycle manually
using the Charge button. If you do not do this, the charge
process will be carried out with the current set automatically.
