Charge Mode
1.MAIN MENU -> press the (ENTER) into charge mode.
2.Set the current rate before charging. Adjustable charge rates from 300mA-5000mA.
The default current is 2A, you can use the +(INCREASE) and -(DECREASE) button
to adjust the charge rate.
See the table below to select the charge rate for Ni-Cd & Ni-MH battery packs. We
recommend that you charge 1800mAh receiver packs at 1.8 amp. (1C).
It's normal situation if the current value of Ni-Cd & Ni-MH turn to zero after period
of charging.
An exhausted Li-Po battery pack can be fully recharged in approximately 2-3 hours
with charge rate at 1C.
To Re-peak the pack, simply press the S(START) button.
Press the (ENTER) button to show MAX. voltage.
The cooling fan will work when you press the S(START) button to start charging.
Discharge Mode
1.MAIN MENU -> press the (ENTER) and then the +(INCREASE) button into
discharge mode.
2.The discharge rate is 0.3A~2.0A (Adjustable).
It's necessary to set discharge bottom voltage of Ni-Cd & Ni-MH, single cell can't
lower than 0.8V,
6cells can't lower than 4.8V.
END DISCHARGE
1.To Re-Discharge the pack simply press the S(START) button.
2.Press the (ENTER) button to return MAIN MENU.
Cycle Charge Mode (Discharge Charge)
MAIN MENU -> press the (ENTER) and then the +(INCREASE) button
twice into charge after discharge mode, and then press the S(START) button
to start.
Before you get into this mode, you have to set the charge / discharge rate and the
discharge voltage.

Plug the charger into an AC 110V/230V wall outlet or a DC 12V power source. The
charger power is on now and the LCD displays the MAIN MENU.
The LCD displays the data below.
If you need to stop charging, press the S(START) button to stop it, and then press
the START button to go back to the MAIN MENU.
*When the battery pack is fully charged or discharged, you can press the
S(START) button to RE-PEAK or RE-DISCHARGE the pack.
*After the battery pack has peaked, press the (ENTER) button, the LCD will
show MAX. voltage during charging.
*If the battery pack is not connected to the charger before
charging, the LCD will show an ERROR massage.
*If the cell number you selected does not match the battery pack,the LCD will show
an ERROR massage in Li-Po or Pb mode.
*If the cell number you selected is not coincident to the Li-Po or PB battery pack,
the LCD display will show an Error message.
1.When the number of the battery pack>select number, the LCD
display will show "[Error] OVER VOLTAGE".
2.When the number of the battery pack<select number, the
charger will charge battery pack at 0.3A about for 2 min..
If the battery voltage is still over low, the LCD display will
show "[Error] LOW VOLTAGE".
1.Using the + (INCREASE) / -(DECREASE) button to select the battery type you
want and connect the charge lead of the charger to the connector of the battery
pack..
2. Then, press the (Enter) button into the mode you selected .

Safety Precautions :
1.Please check the voltage in your house if it's consistent to this charger, you can
only use it when the voltages are the same.
2.Do not allow children to charge battery packs unless supervised by a
responsible adult.
3.Use only rechargeable batteries. This charger cannot charge primary batteries
such as "Heavy duty", "Alkaline battery" or "Mercury battery".
4.During use, please keep in a well ventilated area and never put beside
flammables chemicals.
5.This charger will be damaged if immersed in water or subjected to high level
moisture. Do not use this charger in the rain or when your hand is wet to avoid of
electric shock or accident. This is very dangerous to both the operator and the
charger.
6.There is fan built inside this charger. To avoid accidents do not allow any foreign
objects to enter into fan.
7.The positive (red lead) and negative (black lead) terminals of the battery should
be connected to the charger terminals correctly. Do not reverse the positive and
negative terminals, wrong connection will damage the battery and will cause
damage to the charger.
8.Before you start to charge, please ensure you select correct charger settings.
Double check if the battery count and type match your charger setting. Make sure
nothing goes wrong!
*Never set Li-po batteries at Ni-Cd or Ni-MH mode, otherwise will cause the
batteries to catch fire!
9.To avoid of damaging the TX (Transmitter), please keep current under 1A if you
charge it directly.
10.The best current for charge/discharge is1C (1 time of battery capacity).
Value of 1C = Cell capacity, e.g. if the battery capacity is 2000mAH, 1C is 2000mA)
11.Never discharge Ni-Cd and Ni-MH batteries below 0.8 volt per cell to protect
service life of the batteries. (For example, a 6-cell pack should not be discharged
lower than 4.8 volts)
12.If your charger has any error, send it back to OFNA with original box, we provide
great customer service. Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the charger in any
way
