Chuck,
That is a very interesting looking charger that has lot's of features including progamability for NiMH battery packs. I downloaded the manual and it has some interesting cautions including this one with my corrections in syntax added...

This charger and battery to be charged and
discharged should be set up on a heat-resistant, non-flammable
and non-conductive surface. Never place
them on a car seat, carpet or similar.
