During a charge or discharge process this screen display provides all the necessary infor-
mation to keep the user informed of progress.
The top line shows the internal battery memory (e.g. 1 to 5), or “B”, if a BID key is connec-
ted. Pressing the “EDIT” button takes you to the “EDIT DATA” menu (see Chapter 8 on
page 11) or “SETTINGS” (Chapter 9 on page 13). The internal memory can be selected
directly from the working display: press the “ENTER” button and use the arrow buttons to
select the memory you wish to use, then press the “ENTER” button again to confirm your
choice.
Column 2 of the top line shows the charger’s status (‘C’ for Charge, ‘D’ for Discharge, ‘D-C’
for Discharge - Charge, ‘R’ for Ready, ‘N’ for No Battery, and ‘F’ for Finish). The battery
type can be determined by the abbreviations in the bottom line: PB = lead-acid, NC = NiCd,
NH = NiMH, LP = LiPo, LI = LiIo, LF = LiFe and LS = Lithium Storage (program for storing
Lithium batteries).
It is also possible to alter the current while a charge or discharge process is under way.
This is accomplished by pressing the “ENTER” button, then adjusting the current using the
arrow buttons. Finally press the “ENTER” button again to confirm the new value.
