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!

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
