Caution: First pull the plug out of the socket and observe the sequence for disconnection. This prevents
sparks from forming. Since charging generates a detonating gas, this is particularly important for the sake
of your safety.
Disconnect the charger from the mains power supply.
Then disconnect the black clips (negative). Then remove the battery clips from the positive terminal of the
battery (red clips).
Allow the battery to cool down. Only for open batteries: Fill the cells with distilled water up to the level
specified by the battery manufacturer. Close the battery cells using the caps.
Before performing a jump start on your vehicle, read how to carry out a jump start in your vehicle’s manual.
Switch off all electrical consumers in the vehicle (lights, window heater, seat heating, etc.). Connect the device to
the vehicle battery as described in section 6.3. Use the selection switch to choose the 12 V battery type appropriate
for your vehicle. Position the selection switch for charging mode/jump start to START.
Now start the vehicle’s engine. Do not operate the starter for longer than 5 seconds. If the start attempt is not
successful, wait for at least three minutes before starting the next attempt. After the third failed attempt, do not
attempt again. Instead, check your vehicle for faults.
Once the engine is running, remove the device as described in section 6.5.
Caution:
Make sure that the charger is not connected to the power socket.
Always connect the red positive cable (+) of the charger (Position 6 in the overview) to the positive ter-
minal of the battery first. Then connect the black negative cable (-) (Position 7 in the overview) to the
negative terminal of the battery. If you charge the battery in situ, connect the black negative cable (-) to
the car body (exposed part), far away from the battery, the carburettor and fuel lines. Always maintain
this sequence. Now connect the mains connection cable (Position 5 in the overview) to a power socket.
Press the selection switch for the battery type (Position 2 in the overview) several times to choose the correct
battery type. The different battery types are toggled through in the following order: 6 V STD – 12 V STD – 12 V
AGM – 12 V Gel.
Use the selection switch for the display (Position 3 in the overview) to toggle the display from the current battery
voltage to the charge status in % (5% increments).
Use the selection switch for the charging mode (Position 4 in the overview) to choose between the functions SLOW
(charge slowly), FAST (charge quickly) and START (jump start).
Once the battery is fully charged the display shows FUL (current battery voltage) or 100 in %.
