The display shows, e.g., the following data while discharging:
The rechargeable battery type is shown in the upper left
of the display ("NiMH" = NiMH rechargeable battery),
the upper middle shows the discharging current and the
upper right the current rechargeable battery voltage.
The lower left shows the current rechargeable battery programme ("DSC" = "DISCHARGE"),
in the middle the elapsed charging time and the charged capacity in mAh are displayed to the
right of this.
• Once the discharging process has been completed, an audio signal is emitted (if it was not
turned off).
If you wish to cancel the discharging process, push the "BATT. TYPE/STOP" button.
f) Cycle Program ("CYCLE")
To test rechargeable batteries, form new rechargeable batteries or refresh older rechargeable
batteries, you can perform up to 5 cycles in sequence automatically. The two possible combina-
tions are "Charge/Discharge" ("CHG>DCHG") and "Discharge/Charge" ("DCHG>CHG").
The values that you have set in the charging programme ("CHARGE") or discharging
programme ("DISCHARGE") are used as charging or discharging current.
Proceed as follows:
• Set the rechargeable battery type as described in chap-
ter 12. a) (NiMH or NiCd) and select the rechargeable
battery programme "CYCLE".
The set rechargeable battery type is shown in the upper left of the display, and the recharge-
able battery programme next to it.
The display in the lower left represents the corresponding combination "Charging/discharging"
("CHG>DCHG") or "Discharging/charging" ("DCHG>CHG"), the lower right shows the number
of currently set cycles.
Use the buttons "INC" and "DEC" to select a different rechargeable battery pro-
gramme; use the button "BATT. TYPE/STOP" to return to the main menu.
• If any other cycle mode is to be selected or if you would like to set the number of cycles, briefly
push the button "START/ENTER". The display "CHG>DCHG" or "DCHG>CHG" flashes.
• With the buttons "INC" or "DEC", select the desired order in cycle operation:
"CHG>DCHG" = Charge + then discharge
"DCHG>CHG" = Discharge + then charge
