Sometimes, racers get in line like lemmings to chase after the latest gimmick. We find
that these gimmicks peter out after a little while, as racers discover that they don't do
anything (useful, that is...). If you hear about some new technique, feature or device and
you want to know if it works, use the T35-GFX to check it out. Then, instead of guessing,
you'll KNOW.
Final Advice (for now...)
There's no way we at CEI could carry out all the research needed to find out the best
ways to charge, discharge, and condition cells to get the very best performance out of
them. The next best way is to give racers a tool to do it themselves, and then turn 'em
loose with it. The T35-GFX is such a tool.
Technology keeps changing. Capacities increase, cells get more durable and more
powerful. Keep an open mind. Talk to other racers. Use the internet. This way, you'll find
out what works best for you.

The T35-GFX in Detail
This section of the manual is the place to go to get detailed information on how the T35-
GFX works and how to use it. See the previous section for detailed information about
what each setting does.
What can I do with my T35-GFX?
The T35-GFX functionality is presented to the user as a set of 6 menu functions, referred
to as MODES. When the T35-GFX is first turned on, it goes through the sign-on screen,
where you see the copyright notice and the firmware revision number. After a short time,
the Charge menu appears. Moving through the various screens of the menu tree is called
navigating the menu tree.
Note the three buttons clustered to the left of the rotary dial/switch on the right hand side.
