5.2. Charging Mode

When set to 'CHARGING', the hub will charge the inserted Intelligent Flight Batteries sequentially. Batteries with higher power levels will be charged first, followed by those with lower levels. This optimizes charging time by prioritizing batteries closer to full capacity.

• Insert batteries into the slots.
• Set the switch to 'CHARGING'.
• The LED indicators on the batteries will show their charging status.
• Once all batteries are fully charged, the hub will cease charging.

5.3. Storage Mode

When set to 'STORAGE', the hub will adjust the charge level of the inserted Intelligent Flight Batteries to approximately 50%. This is the optimal charge level for long-term storage, helping to preserve battery health and extend their lifespan.

• Insert batteries into the slots.
• Set the switch to 'STORAGE'.
• The hub will either charge or discharge the batteries until they reach approximately 50% capacity.
• Once the optimal storage charge is reached, the hub will stop the process.

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your charging hub:

• Cleaning: Use a dry, soft cloth to clean the exterior of the hub. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
• Storage: Store the charging hub in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the charging hub and its cables for any signs of damage or wear. Discontinue use if damage is observed.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your charging hub, refer to the following common solutions:

• Hub not powering on: Ensure the Phantom 4 Battery Charger is correctly connected to the hub and a working power outlet.
• Batteries not charging: Verify that batteries are properly seated in their slots. Check the mode switch is set to 'CHARGING'. Ensure the Phantom 4 Battery Charger is functioning correctly.
• Slow charging: Charging speed can be affected by battery condition and ambient temperature. Ensure proper ventilation.
• Storage mode not working: Confirm the switch is set to 'STORAGE'. The process may take time depending on the initial charge level of the batteries.
