5. Button functions

BATTERY TYPE button
When you press this button, the currently set battery type - NiCd, NiMH, Li-Po / Li-Io or Pb (lead-acid) - starts to flash.
While the battery type is flashing, further pressing of the BATTERY TYPE button will switch to the next battery type in the following
sequence (NiCD è NiMH è Li-Io / Li-Po è Pb è NiCd è ...).
If you press another button (or no button), the battery type ceases to flash after about five seconds.
Holding this button pressed in, the current charge settings are displayed for about three seconds.
ENTER / START button
If you press this button briefly, the variable value in the current menu starts flashing.
Press the ENTER button again, the next variable value starts to flash.
If you press no button for about three seconds, the value ceases flashing.
Holding this button pressed in starts the charge process or if charging is occurring, stops the charge process.
INC/DEC buttons
With these buttons the flashing values can be increased or decreased, or charging/discharging modes are selected as per the flow
charts.
