C) Cycle Programme („Cycle") - VOLTCRAFT Ultimate 400 W Bedienungsanleitung

c) Cycle Program („CYCLE")
To test or refresh batteries (improving performance of a weak, old battery), you can
perform up to 5 cycles in sequence. The two possible combinations are „Charge/Dis-
charge" („CHG>DCHG") and „Discharge/Charge" („DCHG>CHG").
• After you have selected the „NiMH" or „NiCd" program in the main menu with the button
„BATT TYPE/STOP" and confirmed this with the button „START/ENTER", you can select
the cycle programme using the button „INC" or „DEC" (illustration shows NiMH battery):
NiMH CYCLE
CHG>DCHG
• If you want to switch the charge/discharge sequence or set the cycle number, push the
button „START/ENTER". The text for the sequence now flashes in the bottom line of the
display.
Change the sequence using the buttons „INC" and „DEC":
NiMH CYCLE
CHG>DCHG
First the battery is charged and then discharged in the left image. In the right image, this
sequence is reversed, meaning first the battery is discharged and then charged.
• Confirm the selection by pressing the "START/ENTER" button.
• Then, the cycle number flashes; this shows how often the set sequence of discharging/
charging or charging/discharging is carried out. You can set a value from 1 to 5 cycles
with the buttons „INC" or „DEC". Confirm your entry as usual with the buttons „START/
ENTER".
• To start the cycle, keep the „START/ENTER" button pressed for longer (approx.
3 seconds).
• If the settings are wrong, or if the charger detects a problem, an audio signal is emitted
and the appropriate information is shown on the display.
• Once the cycle is completed, an audio signal is emitted.
If you wish to terminate the cycle beforehand, push the „BATT TYPE/STOP" button.
