Selecting the Battery Type
After you power on the X1, press the ■ button repeatedly until you reach the

BEFORE YOU BEGIN CHARGING YOUR BATTERY, MAKE SURE YOU
HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL OF THE WARNINGS AND SEFETY

After selecting the correct battery type, if the screen does not read “

use the ✚ or ▬ buttons to change it to the “
CHARGE
“ mode.
Press the ► button and the amp rate value will begin
fl ashing. Use the ✚ or ▬ buttons to adjust the value
to the desired rate. Follow the instructions provided with your battery when
setting the amp rate.
The charge rate can be set to “

“

Man
“, the charge rate
will remain the same throughout the entire charge
cycle. If you choose “
Aut
