REVERSE POLARITY error - if the battery is connected in reverse
In our NiMH charging example above, we pressed the ENTER button when “NiMH” was blinking, to go directly
to charge rate setting. However, if you want to enter DISCHARGE or CYCLE modes, you can press the BATT
TYPE button to start NiMH blinking, then press INC/DEC buttons to scroll through the various modes. Once
the mode is settled (like CYCLE), short press ENTER to start values blinking for editing.
Below are the flow charts for all the settings in the charger. Have a play with no battery connected, to see
how to set all the parameters, for all supported battery types.

Setting charge current
Adjust and find the desired charge current which ranges from 0.1A to 5.0A with INC
& DEC buttons. Press the ENTER button to confirm setting.
Setting discharge current
NiCd DISCHARGE
D=0.50A 4.8 V
Adjust and find the desired discharge current, ranging from 0.1A to 1A, with INC &
DEC buttons. Press the ENTER button to confirm setting.
Setting discharge cutoff voltage
NiCd DISCHARGE
D=0.50A 4.8 V
This is the voltage that the charger should stop discharging the battery.
Adjust and find total discharge cutoff voltages to be discharged from 0.1V to 16.8V
with INC & DEC buttons. Press the ENTER button to confirm setting.
Setting cycle
NiCd CYCLE C->D 5
C=3.0A D=0.50A
This is to set cycling with two options ( Charge to Discharge / Discharge to Charge).
Set cycling with INC & DEC buttons, and press the ENTER button to confirm setting.
