Press the Set button. The leftmost digit will start blinking. Set the Voltage lowest discharge level to 3 by pressing the up and down keys. After power up the discharcher defaults to a value of 3.00Volts which is perfectly suitable for a 18650. |

Press the Set button. Now a green led will blink, indicating the discharge current that will be used. By using the up dan down key you can cycle through 4 values: 0,5, 1, 2 and 3A. 3A is faster then 2 but it is also the hottest and least accurate. I choose 1A for easier calculation as well. |
