Preparations
To ensure the battery is about 50% discharged, the following preparations can be carried
out immediately before the charge acceptance test:

2.
3.

result is positive, the device will then switch automatically to standard charging
mode and charge the battery
if the result is negative, „Test Fail" appears on the charger's screen and charging of
the battery is halted
Fully charge the battery
