The only tool to operate the charger is the joystick in front panel of the
charger. You could move the joystick up/down/left/right to make the charger
work.
When you are willing to alter the parameter value in the program, move the
joystick right to make it blink then change the value by moving the joystick
up and down. The value will be stored by re- moving the joystick right.
When you are willing to start the progress, move the joystick right and hold
it for 3 seconds. When you are willing to stop the progress or go back to
previous step/screen, move the joystick left.
When you power on the charger, it will enter LiPo Battery balance program
directly. You could change the mode (balance mode, normal charge mode,
fast charge mode, store mode or discharge mode), enter the desired
charging/discharging mode, set the referred parameter and start the
progress.
If you have no request for LiPo Battery program, please move the joystick
left to enter Program Select screen.

CONNECTING THE BATTERY
Important!!! Before connecting a battery it is absolutely essential to
check one last time that you have set the parameters correctly. If the
settings are incorrect, the battery may be damaged, and could even
burst into flames or explode.
To avoid short circuits between the
banana plugs, always connect the charge leads to the charger first,
and only then to the battery. Reverse the sequence when
disconnecting the pack.
Balance socket:
The balance wire attached to the battery must be connected to the
charger with the blackwire aligned with the negative marking.
Take
care to maintain correct polarity! (See the wiring diagram below.)
