5. Налаштування

5.1 Підключення живлення

1. Connect the appropriate power cable (AC or DC) to the charger's input port.
2. If using AC power, plug the AC cable into a wall outlet.
3. If using DC power, connect the DC cable to a compatible power source (e.g., 12V car battery).
4. Flip the power switch on the side of the charger to the 'ON' position. The screen should illuminate.

5.2 Підключення батареї

1. Визначте правильний зарядний кабель для вашого типу акумулятора.
2. Connect the main charging lead of your battery to one of the charger's output ports (CH1 or CH2).
3. For balance charging, connect the battery's balance lead to the corresponding balance socket on the charger. Ensure the balance lead is inserted correctly.

6. Інструкція з експлуатації

The HTRC T240 Duo offers various operating modes for different battery management needs. Use the touch screen to navigate and select options.

6.1 Selecting Battery Type and Mode

1. On the main screen, select the desired channel (CH1 or CH2).
2. Tap on the battery type icon (e.g., LiPo, NiMH) that matches your battery.
3. Виберіть потрібний режим роботи:
• заряд: Standard charging.
• Залишок коштів: Charges and balances individual cell voltages for lithium batteries.
• Швидка зарядка: Faster charging without balancing.
• Зберігання: Charges or discharges lithium batteries to a safe storage voltage.
• Виписка: Розряджає акумулятор до встановленого об'ємуtage.

6.2 Налаштування параметрів
