3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Multi-functional Data Interface
The device features multiple display interfaces. By clicking the side multi-function button, you can cycle through these interfaces to view various parameters clearly and orderly.
Figure 3.1: Various data display interfaces (Function Interface 1-6).
3.2 Zero Clearing of Data Sub-Items
The ANENG P01 allows for easy resetting of individual data items:
- Double-click: Quickly reset the cumulative capacity (mAh) to zero.
- Triple-tap: Quickly reset the cumulative energy (Wh) to zero.
- Quadruple-tap: Quickly reset the measurement timer to zero.
- Long press: Reset all accumulated values (capacity, energy, and time) to zero.

3.3 Power-off Memory Function
The device features a power-off memory function that supports single or segmented discharge. This ensures that accumulated data is preserved even if the connection is accidentally disconnected during testing.
- Unexpected Power Failure: If the connection is accidentally disconnected during testing, the accumulated data will be fully preserved by the built-in memory chip.
- Data Recording Continues: After reconnecting, the data will be fully displayed and continue to accumulate until the power bank is fully discharged, providing the final total capacity.

3.4 Capacity and Battery Level Detection
To accurately determine the capacity of a power bank:
- Full Power Preparation: Fully charge the power bank to be tested to ensure it is at its initial full capacity.
- Connect Correctly: Connect the input port of the USB tester to the output port of the power bank. Then, connect a phone charging cable from the output port of the USB tester to a load device (e.g., a smartphone).
- Data Reset: On Function Interface 1 or 2 of the USB tester, long press the multi-function button to reset the cumulative capacity (mAh), cumulative energy (Wh), and measurement time to zero.
- Discharge Record: Start the load device (e.g., by lighting up the phone screen or running an application) to begin discharging the power bank. Continue discharging until the power bank is completely depleted and automatically shuts down.
- Read the Results: After discharge is complete, the final cumulative capacity (mAh) and cumulative energy (Wh) values displayed on the screen represent the actual usable capacity and battery level of the power bank.

3.5 Fast Charging Detection
The ANENG P01 can help you determine if your mobile phone is receiving normal 5V slow charging or 9V/12V true fast charging. The major data of voltage, current, and charging protocol are clearly displayed at a glance.

4. Maintenance and Calibration
4.1 Current Reset Calibration Steps
To perform a current reset calibration:
- Turn on the detector: Connect the input terminal of the detector to a powered charging head. The screen will automatically light up.
- Enter the screen off state: Briefly press the multi-function button until the screen displays an 'off' state (all black with no display status).
- Enter background calibration mode: Long press the multi-function button while the screen is turned off until the screen lights up again and displays the background calibration interface.
- Select the empty load reset project: After entering the background mode, it defaults to staying in the first column. Briefly press the button once to switch to the second column.
- Perform no-load zeroing: Long press the button while the screen is on. The current value will change to 0.000A, and it will automatically jump to the third column.
- Exit the background calibration mode: Briefly press the button to switch to 'Exit', then long press the button to exit the background calibration mode.
- Calibration completion confirmation: After exiting, the screen will return to Function Interface 1 (initial measurement interface). At this time, the current display value should be 0.000A, indicating that the current reset calibration has been completed.
Figure 4.1: Detailed steps for current reset calibration.
5. Troubleshooting and Important Notes
5.1 Important Reminder for Background Mode
Attention: When entering the background mode, be careful and only select the reset operation in the second column. If it is set to another column, the measured value will be completely inaccurate.
5.2 Time Accumulation Logic
The time displayed on this U-meter only counts when the power is greater than 0.5W. If it is less than 0.5W, the system will not calculate the accumulated time. Only in this way can the charging time be determined. Please be aware.
