BQ2000: RC timer need and how to calculate R and C value?

Part Number: BQ2000
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ24105

Hi,

   i have 11.1v and 2200mAh Li-Ion 3 cell battery and i selected bq2000 charger IC, Is it ok to use this IC?   If yes, there is MTO(Maximum Charge Time) They call hold of period something something, so for that MTO i have to set resister and capacitors. They say Hold off perio = MTO/32.  and that output goes to RC pin of bq2000. They say by this i am setting timer. Can you please explain why i have to need this setting?
