The Millennium Pro takes the dependability of the original Millennium charger to new
levels for even better battery performance, new or old. With large backlit display, battery
conditioning, and charge history, you get vital information that is easy to comprehend.
The Millennium Pro is equipped with Ni-Cd Linear Mode for all Ni-Cd cells, Ni-Cd Reverse
Pulse Mode for Ni-Cd cells, and the new NOVAK Ni-MH2 Mode for the ultimate charge of
all sizes of Ni-MH cells. All modes have easy to understand user-adjustable charge parameters.

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
The following precautions will help to prevent possible damage to the Millennium Pro,
the battery pack, or the input power source.
• Charge only nickel-cadmium or nickel-metal hydride rechargeable battery packs––
Damage will occur from charging other battery types
(lead-acid, lithium-ion, gel cells, etc.).
Never allow water, moisture, or other foreign materials to enter Millennium Pro.
• Do not use automobile battery chargers to power the Millennium Pro––False peaks
can occur, and excessive voltage spikes can damage the Millennium Pro.
Do not obstruct the air intake on the bottom of the Millennium Pro––This will cause
overheating and thermal shut down. Be careful if putting Millennium Pro on a pit towel.
Do not charge batteries with fewer than 4 or more than 8 cells––connected in series.
Do not charge battery packs connected in parallel––Batteries will be damaged.
Enhanced-voltage
(“zapped”)
batteries charge erratically––Consult the battery matching
company for charging recommendations.
Excessive charge current can damage batteries––Follow battery maker recommendations.
• Never exceed 15 volts DC input power source to power the Millennium Pro.
• Gases from a lead-acid battery may ignite if sparks occur when connecting or dis-
connecting the Millennium’s alligator clips––Using a lead-acid battery as a power source
may generate hydrogen gas and should only be used in a well ventilated area. Avoid
open flames and sparks which may ignite battery gases.
PLEASE FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
INPUT POWER SOURCE
VOLTAGE & CONNECTION
Input power source voltage should be 1.5 volts DC above peak-voltage of the battery.
Example 1: (6 cell Ni-Cd pack peak-voltage10.5 volts) + (1.5 volts) = 12 volts DC
Example 2: (8 cell transmitter pack peak-voltage13.5 volts) + (1.5 volts) = 15 volts DC
Remember that older battery packs peak at higher voltages.
If power supply’s voltage is not high enough to peak battery, charge 8 cell packs as two, 4 cell packs.
Input power source connection on the Millennium Pro is located on the lower corner of
the back of the case. The supplied power harness has a matching connector attached to it,
and will plug directly to the panel-mounted connector on the back of the Millennium Pro.
When looking at the input power connector, the pin marked with a raised rib in the
plastic is the positive (+) connection as shown below.

(Rib in plastic)
Install rubber feet (4)
Acceptable Input Power Sources: DC power supply* or lead-acid battery**
*Output current of power source should meet/exceed desired charge rate.
**Connect input power harness to lead-acid battery before connecting harness to Millennium Pro.
If using Millennium Pro with power supply, cut wires of included input power harness to
the desired length and secure them to the output terminal screws of the power supply.
If your power supply has post-style output terminals, or if
using Millennium Pro with a lead-
acid battery, you can solder the in
cluded alligator clips to the input power harness. Solder
the red alligator clip to the wire that goes to the Millennium Pro’s positive (+) pin (rib in
plastic of connector). Solder the black alligator clip to other wire.
The MAIN MENU screens are the
first level of navigation in
the Millennium Pro. The available screens are shown here
In each of the MAIN MENU screens the top line of the LCD
displays the available button choices. ENTER and the up ()
and down (
) arrows to prompt you to use one of these
keys to continue navigation.
The bottom line displays your current software location. To
go the second level of the Millennium’s software, simply
push the ENTER button at any of the MAIN MENU screens.
When in the Start menu screen, the display will alternate
between the Start option and Active Profile screen which
shows the active Charge Profile
(bottom line) and the profile’s
stored settings
(the top line shows charge mode, # of cells, & current)
.
The Start option begins the charge process, while the other
options take you to the next software level where you can
change charge modes and various other parameters.
SHORTCUT: At the Start option screen, pressing the BACK
button takes
you directly to the Activate Profile Screen
to let
you quickly change the Active Profile.
