The high-definition VA LCD screen provides real-time information for each battery slot independently. You can view:

• Voltage: קראַנט וולtagE פון די באַטאַרייע.
• איצטיקע: Charging/discharging current.
• מאָדע: Current operating mode (Charge, Grade, Store).
• באַטערי טיפּ: Detected battery chemistry (Li-ion, Ni-MH).
• Internal Resistance (IR): Battery's internal resistance.
• קאַפּאַציטעט: Charged/discharged capacity.

Operating Modes (CH1-CH4 Only)

For bays CH1-CH4, you can long-press the "מאָדע" button to switch between three specialized modes:

1. אָפּצאָל מאָדע: נאָרמאַל טשאַרדזשינג מאָדע.
2. Grade Mode: To determine the real capacity of a battery. The charger will perform a charge-discharge-charge cycle and display the actual capacity.
3. קראָם מאָדע: To prepare batteries for long-term storage. The charger will charge or discharge the battery to its rated storage voltage to maximize its lifespan.

וישאַלט און זיכערקייַט

• באַטערי אַקטאַוויישאַן: The smart charger can activate over-discharged batteries. If a battery is severely discharged, the charger will attempt to activate it before regular charging.
• אָטאַמאַטיק פאַרמאַכן: The charger automatically stops charging when batteries are full to prevent overcharging.
• היץ דיסיפּיישאַן: The charger is designed with excellent heat dissipation. Ensure proper ventilation during operation.
• מאַטעריאַל: Constructed from PC fire-retardant material for enhanced safety.
• סטאָרידזש: For long-term storage of Li-ion batteries, use the "Store Mode" (CH1-CH4) to bring them to an optimal voltagE מדרגה.

טראָובלעשאָאָטינג

• Error Symbol on Display: If an error symbol appears, it indicates a reversed or short-circuited battery. Remove the battery, check its orientation, and reinsert it. If the error persists, the battery may be damaged.
• Charger Not Responding: Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the charger and the power outlet. Try a different outlet or adapter if available.
• באַטאַרייע ניט טשאַרדזשינג: Verify the battery is inserted with correct polarity. Check if the battery is severely over-discharged; the charger may be attempting 0V activation. If the battery is damaged, the LCD will show an error and stop charging.
