If you push the button "START" for the duration of 3 seconds, the charger will review the connected rechargeable
battery (the display will show "CHECK BATTERY.....").
Charging starts when everything is OK.

button "BACK" will return you to the previous menu in that case.

After charging starts, various information is displayed.
•
Use the button "GRAPH" to get to the graphical display of the

•
Push the button "STOP" to manually interrupt or terminate charg-

will take you back to the setting menu.
c) Automatic Charge Mode ("AUTO CHG.")
In automatic mode, the charger checks the rechargeable battery condition (e.g. the inner resistance) and calculates
the charging current from this. You need to set an upper limit for the charging current so that the rechargeable battery
is not damaged by a too-high charging current.
Depending on the rechargeable battery and its inner resistance, shorter charging times may be achieved in the
rechargeable battery programme "AUTO CHG." than in the rechargeable battery programme "CHARGE" (chapter
11. b).
Proceed as in the rechargeable battery programme "CHARGE" for setting and operation (chapter 11. b).
The only difference is that you do not set the actual charging current, but the limit for the maximum charging
current that the charger must not exceed.
