Operating The Charger - HITEC X1RED Instruction Manual

Operating the Charger

The following is a step-by-step guide for operating the
G
X1 RED. The screen shots and operation templates shown
below are for the operation of a Li-Po BALANCE CHARGE
program . Refer to the Available Operations chart on page
13 and 14 to setup your specific type of battery.
Whenever a parameter value in the program needs to
be adjusted, highlight the value by pressing the START/
Enter button to make it blink; to change the value press
the DEC or INC buttons. The new value will be stored by
re-pressing the START/Enter button. If there is another
parameter to be adjusted as part of a range on the same
screen, it will start blinking after the first parameter value
has been confirmed.
Before you begin charging your battery,
make sure you have read and understand
all of the warnings and safety information
contained on pages 2-4.
