Timer

A timer can be activated in the setup display (top left of display).  The
timer value defines the time interval until the automatic start of a charge.
Particularly for competitions, this allows charging batteries precisely to the
minute; you will never again have to begin a race with a half-charged
battery.
Pressing the 

Start

 key begins the countdown for the timer.  The display

signals countdown mode with a blinking colon on the time display.
The timer value is reset to zero when charging begins; the timer value
cannot be stored persistently.
