Timer
Timer Setting : The timer allows you to set a specied time for charging.
After the timer expires, the charger stops charging your battery. The main
function of the timer is to prevent over charging while allowing a battery time
to obtain a satisfactory charge. To properly set the timer, you must know the
size of the battery in ampere hours or reserve capacity in minutes and the
state of charge. It is important that you determine the appropriate state of
charge of your battery and set the timer accordingly.
Hold : This position defeats the timer function, allowing for continuous
operation. Be sure to monitor the charging progress and stop it when
the battery is charged. Not doing so may cause damage to your
battery or may cause other personal property damage or
personal injury.
