Setting the battery type
• After setting the charging current, press the SELECT button (2) to switch to the settings
menu for the battery type. The factory setting is LiPo.
• To set the battery type for all 4 charging channels simultaneously, proceed as follows:
- Press the SETTING button (7) to switch between the different battery types. This can be
repeated as often as required.
- Press and hold the SETTING button (7) to confirm the global setting for all 4 charging
channels. "SAVE SETTING ..." will appear on the LCD display (6) to confirm that your
setting has been saved.
• To set the battery type for each charging channel individually, proceed as follows:
- Press the SELECT button (2) again to set the battery type for the first charging channel
(charging channel 1). The setting symbol for the respective charging output will start to
flash on the LCD display (6).
- Press the SETTING button (7) to change the battery type. Each additional press of this
button switches between the two battery types.
- Press the SELECT button (2) again to switch to the setting for the next charging
channel. The indicators for outputs 2 to 4 always flash individually to indicate that the
corresponding charging output is ready to be set. Press the SETTING button (7) to set
the battery type for each charging output.
- When you have finished setting the battery type, press and hold the SETTING button
(7) until "SAVE SETTING ..." appears on the LCD display (6) to confirm that the settings
have been saved successfully. The charger will then switch back to the standby display
d) Connecting batteries to the charger
Never attempt to connect more than one battery to a charging channel at the same
time. This may damage or even destroy the charger.
• For each charging channel (1-4), only connect one battery with one type of connector to the
possible battery connections. Select the appropriate connector (SM, XH, Micro, MX, JST
and mCPX) for each of the four channels and connect up to a maximum of four batteries
to the charger.
• Charging will start after the batteries have been connected.
e) Charging process
• During the charging process, the LED indicator (3) for the active charging channel will flash
in red.
• The LCD display will show the charging parameters for all connected batteries in an
alternating sequence.
- Sequence for 1S LiPo/LiHV and NiMH/NiCd batteries:
Battery type > Battery voltage > Charging current > Battery capacity
- Sequence for 2S LiPo/LiHV batteries:
Battery type > Battery voltage > Cell 1 voltage > Cell 2 voltage > Charging current >
Battery capacity
• As soon as a battery is fully charged, "FULL" will be displayed for the corresponding
charging channel. The corresponding LED indicator (3) will then stay constant green.
Safety features
a) Under/overvoltage protection
The charger stops charging when the input voltage on the DC power connection is less than
7.0 V/DC. "DC Input Low" will be displayed on the LCD display.
If you are using a rechargeable battery for the power supply, remove it as soon as
possible and recharge it later.
If you are using a power adapter for the power supply, check whether the setting is
too low or whether there is another malfunction.
The charger also stops charging when the input voltage on the DC power connection is more
than 17.0 V/DC. "DC Input High" will be displayed on the LCD display.
If this message appears, immediately adjust the input voltage to the correct value or
disconnect the charger from the voltage source (battery). Prolonged overvoltages
increase the risk of a fire or may even destroy the charger.
b) Reverse polarity protection
If you connect a battery with reversed polarity, the charger will not charge. Connect the
rechargeable battery(s) with the correct polarity.
c) Cell overvoltage
As soon as the saturation voltage exceeds 100 mV, the charger automatically stops charging
and displays an "OV" warning message for the corresponding channel.

LiPo
d) Overcurrent
If the charging current is above 1.20 A, the charger automatically stops charging and displays
the "OC" warning message for the corresponding channel.
Care and cleaning
Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents, rubbing alcohol or other chemical
solutions, as these may damage the housing or impair the functioning of the device.
• Disconnect the product from the mains before each cleaning session. Pull the mains plug
from the mains socket or disconnect the DC power supply.
• Use a dry, lint-free cloth to clean the product.
• To prevent scratch marks, do not press too hard on the surface of the enclosure or LCD
display when cleaning.
Disposal
Electronic devices are recyclable waste and must not be placed in household
waste. At the end of its service life, dispose of the product according to the relevant
statutory regulations.
You thus fulfil your statutory obligations and contribute to environmental protection.
