These programs are for charging or discharging NiMH(Nickel-Metal-Hydride) or 
NiCd(Nickel-Cadmium) battery commonly used for R/C model applications. To alter the 
value at the display, press 

Start/Enter

 key to make it blink then change the value using 

Inc> or <

Dec key. The value will be stored by pressing 

Start/Enter

 key once.

To start the process, press 

Start/Enter

 button for more than 3 seconds.

This program simply charges the battery using 
the current you set. In 

Aut

mode,You need to 

set the upper limit of charge current to avoid from 
higher feeding current that may damage the bat
tery. Because some batteries of low impedance 
and small capacity can lead to the higher charge 
current by the processor at automatic charge 
mode. But in 

Man

 mode, it will charge the bat

tery with the charge current you set at the display. 
Each mode can be switched by pressing Inc> and 
<Dec button simultaneously when the current 
field is blinking.

The screen displays the current state of charging. 
To stop the process, press Batt type/Stop key 
once. The audible sound indicated you the end of 
process.

Charging NiCd/NiMH battery

Set discharge current on the left and final voltage on 
the right. The discharge current ranges from 0.1 to 
5.0A and the final voltage ranges from 0.1 to 30.0V. 
to start the process, press Start/Enter key for more 
than 3 seconds.

The screen displays the current state of discharge. 
You can alter the discharge current by pressing 
Start/Enter key during the process. Once you 
change the current value, store it by pressing 
Start/Enter button again. To stop discharging press 
Batt type/Stop key once. The audible sound 
indicates you at the end of process.
