Default Need help with a DuraTrax Ice Charge & a Lipo Battery

I just bought 2 18th Scale Mini-t and a Baja from Ebay and a DuraTrax Ice charger. I am having trouble charging the lipo's with this charger. I am 70% sure I have it set up right but every time I try to charge a battery, A error message comes up and tells me the volts are to low or wrong cell type. I am use to nitro trucks and these are my first battery powered trucks. I am using 3 cell lipo batteries and on one of them it has 1,400mah on it. Any help would be great!

if you could show pics of your setup on the ice and all the numbers on your lipos would make it easyer to help you with

Should be set to Lipo, 3 cell, 1400mah, and chg. current 1.4A maximum
all other setting should not matter for charging, if you are getting a message with these settings then you likely have a dead cell or two. get a voltmeter and check each cell voltage from the balance plug
