A Mini USB socket is fitted on the front side of the charger unit which can be used to connect a
laptop or PC.
The MC1500 can be configured through this interface and software updates can be carried out.
To configure or alter the device software (Firmware Update), the software WinCharge is
required. Detailed information about this can be found in the description of the PC software

3.3.8 LC Display
The LC display of the MC1500 has two lines and can display 16 characters per line.
The current values of output voltage and output current are displayed on the top line. The
bottom line acts as a status display showing in plain text the operating state and details of any
faults that occur (see Appendix A).
The LCD is illuminated and, therefore, can be easily read both in the dark and in direct sunlight.
