• If the value for the charging current must be changed, push the "START/ENTER" button. The charging current
ashes. Change the charging current using the button "INC" or "DEC". Keep the respective button pressed for
quick adjustment.
The maximum possible charging current depends on the battery type and number of cells. The max. charge
output is 50 W, which may reduce the actual charge current later.
Conrm the set charging current with the "START/ENTER" button.
• When no display is ashing anymore, start charging by keeping the "START/ENTER" button pushed (approx. 3
seconds).
• The charger now examines the connected rechargeable battery. In case
of an error, a warning signal is output and the corresponding information is
displayed. You can stop the warning signal by pressing the "BATT. TYPE/
STOP" button. You then return to the previous conguration menu.
If no error is found, e.g. the display shown on the right will appear.
The rechargeable battery type is shown in the upper left ("NiMH" = NiMH
rechargeable battery), the upper middle shows the charging current and
the upper right the current rechargeable battery voltage.
The lower left shows the current rechargeable battery programme ("CHG" = "CHARGE"), in the middle the
elapsed charging time and the charged capacity in mAh are displayed to the right of this.
• After completion of charging, an audio signal is emitted (if it has not been turned off).
If you wish to cancel the charging process, push the "BATT. TYPE/STOP" button.
c) Automatic Charge Mode ("Auto CHARGE")
In automatic charge mode, the charger checks the condition of the connected
rechargeable battery (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 CHARGE" than in the rechargeable battery programme "CHARGE" (chapter
12. b).
Proceed as in the rechargeable battery programme "CHARGE" for setting and operation (chapter 12. 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 for reasons of safety.
