User set up starting screen.

The  screen  displays  the  nominal  voltage  of  Lithium  battery. There 
are  three  kinds  of  Lithium  battery:  LiFe(3.3V),  Lilo(3.6V)  or  LiPo 
(3.7V).  This  is  very  important  so  you  have  to  check  the  battery 
carefully  and  set  it  up  correctly.  If  it  is  different  from  correct  value 
the battery may be exploded during charge process.

MEGA  400W×2    recognize  the  cell  count  of  Lithium  battery 
automatically  at  the  beginning  of  charge  or  discharge  process  to 
avoid  from  erroneous  setting  by  user.  But  deeply  discharged 
battery can be perceived incorrectly. To prevent the error, you can 
set the time term to verify the cell count by the processor. Normally, 
10 minutes are enough to perceive the cell count correctly. For the 
battery of larger capacity, you may extend the time term. But if you 
set  the  time  term  too  long  for  the  battery  of  smaller  capacity,  the 
charge  or  discharge  process  can  be  finished  within  the  time  term 
with the erroneous cell count. This may cause the fatal result. If the
processor recognizes the cell count incorrectly at the beginning of 
charge or discharge process, you may extend the time. Otherwise, 
you had better use with the default value.

Termination  of  NiMH  and  NiCd  battery,  the  effective  value  ranges 
from 5 to 20mV per cell. If the trigger voltage is set higher, there is 
a  danger  of  over  charging  the  battery;  if  it  is  set  lower,  there  is  a 
possibility  of  premature  termination.  Please  refer  the  technical 
specification  of  the  battery.  (NiCd  default:  12mV,  NiMH  default: 
7mV)

MEGA 400W×2 will be operated with the default value of the essential user settings when 
it  is  connected  to  a  12V  battery  for  the  first  time.  The  screen  displays  the  following 
information in sequence and the user can change the value of parameter on each screen.
When you are willing to alter the parameter value in the program, press 

start/enter

 key to 

make it blink then change the value with 

Inc> or <Dec

 key. The value will be stored by 

pressing

 key once.
