Default Charging Lipo's for Dummies

Seeing as though said title doesnt seem to be in the top 10 at smiths, here is a daft question regarding charging Lipos for a novice...

I have never charged lipos before and i am slightly concerned about the possibility of losing my eyebrows in a flash of chemical horribleness

I have a Core RC UDC20 charger and some Core rc 3250 packs, normally i would just follow the instructions but to be honest they are about as much use as T*ts on a fish!

1: The pack says 1c 2 cells(?), i have set the charge current to 3.3A...is that ok?

2: I presume the voltage should be set to 4.2v per cell so 8.4V... .ok??

3: Do i use the same figures when ballancing?

4: How the hell do I know when they are done...I pressume it will knock off when complete but it reaches 8.4v and doesnt, then i start to sweat a little and hide behind my welding screen for a bit then knock it off manualy!?!

I know its lame but I aint got a clue to be honest.

Help appreciated!!
