When powered on for the first time the X4-80 will load a set of default parameters most
commonly used by most users. The screen displays the information in the following
sequence. The user can customize the parameters on each screen to suit their own
preferences.

To change the parameter values in the program, press the Start/Enter key to choose the
parameter you want to change. Once the parameter is blinking you can change the value
with the INC (up/forward) or DEC (down/back) keys. The value will be stored by pressing
the Start/Enter key once and the blinking stops.

WARNING

DO NOT CONNECT A BATTERY TO THE CHARGER BEFORE SETTING
UP THE DEFAULT USER PREFERENCES

Main User Setup Screen

The first screen displayed is the Lithium battery set-up screen, you
can press ENTER to bypass this screen and go to the next user
setup screen, or you can set the default Lithium battery type before
moving on.

The Lithium Battery Select Screen

Here you can choose one of the three kinds of Lithium batteries
supported by the X4-80, LiFe (3.3V), Lilo (3.6V) or LiPo (3.7V). If you
plan to use one type of Lithium chemistry battery you can set the
default here. WARNING: Make sure when you connect your battery
that you have selected the proper type of battery before you begin
charging your battery. Once you have established the desired
settings press Start/Enter to confirm the setting then press INC to
move on to the next parameter.

LiPo /LiIo/LiFe Check Time

To avoid an erroneous setting by the user the X4-80 will automati-
cally detect the cell count of a Lithium battery at the beginning of the
charge or discharge process. To prevent an over-discharged battery
from being detected incorrectly, resulting in an error, you can set a
time limit for the processor to verify the cell count. The default setting
is 10 minutes which is typically enough time to properly detect the
cell count. It is not recommended that you change this setting as
setting to long of a “Check Time” can produce dangerous results.
Once you have established the desired settings press Start/Enter to
confirm the setting then press INC to move on to the next parameter.
