PRINTING TEST RESULTS
Point the BCT-200J in the direction of the optional PR-15 printer with the printer’s
IR receiver pointed in the direction of the BCT-200J. Press (Print). You should
be within 15 ft. of the printer. Wait for the screen to clear before moving the BCT-
200J. It takes a moment to send all the test data. The BCT-200J also operates
the AC-14 printer installed in Auto Meter’s XTC-160 tester/charger or BVA-2100
heavy duty tester/analyzer.
For battery, starter, and alternator tests
a unique warranty code is generated
and printed at the bottom of the
printout. This code is used for data and
warranty verification.
Example warranty code:
WARRANTY CODE

repeatedly (up to six times) will
automatically print the test in
review and the previous tests.
