Default Thunder Power 1010C

I am trying to go to larger electrics and have a Tp 1010C with a TP 210V balancer. The instructions are worse than a quick start guide. I plugged the balancer into the charger then connected a battery to the charger and it reads "auto calibration press enter key". Once I press the enter key it goes through some kind of check and ends up with "calibration error please recheck". I have tried this sequence with a lp-po attached only with balance leads, with bal. & power, no li-po and without the balancer attached at all. Is it trying to calibrate itself, the balancer or the battery.? The Inst. do not adress this error code they just go straight to setting up the charging. The info for the 210v isnt any better. If you put a li-po no it and press start it goes through its config but seems to go forever with series of blinking lights in the 1-10 window. I've tries 3s, 5s, 6s batts and I cant tell what its doing when its finished or how long it should take. Of course the 3 page manual dosen't give any info but is loaded with internal wiring. They should make the instructions clearer and skip the internals unless knowing that helps but they dont address the point for the diagrams. I have Triton Jr chargers that I use reguarly to charge PB, NI-MH, Ni-Cad, Li-po 1s-3s and I have never had any problems. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I'm sure its something simple but nowhere does it say when to connect what for each step. I'm tired of guessing for hours on what to try next and I give up and am going to fly my YS 140 pattern planes instead of wasting the rest of my day.

With instructions like these no wonder people are burning up batteries.
