Charging LEDs levels
| Level (charger C) | LED1 | LED2 | LED3 | LED4 |
| C<25% | Flashing | OFF | OFF | OFF |
| 25%<C<50% | ON | Flashing | OFF | OFF |
| 50%<C<75% | ON | ON | Flashing | OFF |
| C>75% | ON | ON | ON | Flashing |
Discharging LED levels
| Level (charger C) | LED1 | LED2 | LED3 | LED4 |
| 0<C<3% | Flashing | OFF | OFF | OFF |
| 3<C<25% | ON | OFF | OFF | OFF |
| 25%<C<50% | ON | ON | OFF | OFF |
| 50%<C<75% | ON | ON | ON | OFF |
| C>75% | ON | ON | ON | OFF |
Turning ON/OFF using Trigger Signal
When the load it connected for the first time, the output is turned ON automatically. In discharge mode the PIN 7 is not functioning. When pressed once, the output is turned ON and stays ON. to turn the output OFF, press or set it to low twice.
If the load draws less then 50mA, then the output will be turned OFF for 30 seconds. If the output current is greater than 50mA, then the output will stay ON continuously.
If the output voltage is between 4.7V to 5V, the the output can be used while charging.
