Performing Common Tasks:
Selecting a preset
At start up, press the MODE button to access and to scroll the Preset Menu and view/select pre-
defined, named presets and their settings, one at a time.
The preset displayed when you stop pressing the MODE button is the “selected” preset. Once the preset
is selected, you can change the parameters for this preset (see “Changing a preset”) or begin charging by
pressing and holding the START/STOP button (for one second).
Note: The Charge Control Software enables you define up to ten custom presets. Using the CCS, you
can change the names of the Factory Presets, or change any of the available parameters associated with
each preset. If you have defined custom presets, you can—at the charger—select any preset. (If you
have not defined custom presets, the factory presets are available.)
Changing a preset
You can change the charge parameters for the currently selected preset to match the characteristics of
the pack(s) you are charging.
At any time prior to starting a charge operation, press and hold the MODE button to access the
Main Menu options:
Choose Chg. Amps , Choose Chemistry , Show Help Screen , Exit .
While watching the scrolling menu options, continue holding the MODE button, then, release it
only when you see the menu option you want. Now you may use the charger’s menu to alter
parameters of presets on-the-fly. Note: Preset parameters are permanently saved the instant they are
changed.
