Instructions for LOSB9601 DC Nitro Peak 3-Way Charger
• Small RED BEC-type—(1A) for 4–5-cell receiver pack.
• Metal hex—(1A) for 1-cell Glow Igniter.
4. When the single connection is made the 1A LED will blink and a single beep will sound.
5. Press and hold the start/stop button 2 seconds—three (3) beeps will sound, the charger will detect the number of cells
and the LED for the correct charge rate will light.
6. When the battery is charged there will be eight (8) beeps and the LED will blink as the charger goes into Auto-Trickle
mode. A beep will sound once every minute until the battery is removed.
7. When charging a 6- to 7-cell battery using the Tamiya-type plug the charger will detect the pack voltage (cell count)
automatically. The charge rate will be 1A at first if the battery voltage is low. It will check again one minute later and
if the voltage is still low an error alert will make the beeper sound and LEDs flash. Check to make sure you have the
correct connection. If not make the correct connection and restart. If the connection is correct restart—if the error alert
sounds again the battery is probably damaged.
8. To stop charging or change items to be charged press the start/stop button until three (3) beeps sound. A long beep will
sound and the LED will start flashing. It is now safe to change the battery you wish to charge. NEVER change the item
to be charged without stopping the charging of the previous item first —even if they are the same type.
WARNINGS:
•
Always
make sure the battery pack (+) is connected to the charger output (+).
•
Never
plug another battery in to be charged until you remove the previous battery, the charger stops and the beeper
sounds three times.
•
Never
connect more than one battery to the charger at the same time.
• The 1A circuit has PTC fuse protection. If you should try to charge a 1-cell glow igniter without resetting it, the charger
will automatically shut down and go to stand-by mode.
