precautions are understood and observed; then follow the steps
outlined in the appropriate section (“Charging a battery installed
in a vehicle” or “Charging a battery that has been removed from a
vehicle”).
1. Insert the double barrel tip of the battery clamp cable into the
double barrel tip of the battery charger cable (male-to-female and
female-to-male). Then plug the battery charger’s power cord into
an AC outlet. The power LED will light blue to indicate that the
charger is plugged in and ready.
NOTE:
If the Power LED does not come on, check connection
with the AC outlet. Make sure the AC outlet is functional.
2. Connect the battery charger to the battery using the battery clamps,
following the appropriate directions in the “Preparing to Charge”
section at the front of this manual.
3. When the unit is properly connected and charging, the battery
charging LED ( ) will light yellow to indicate the battery is charging.
NOTES:
A. If the Charging LED did not come on, check the connection to
the battery. If the clamps are properly connected, the battery
may be in fault condition. Manufacturer suggests to have the
battery tested by a qualified battery service technician.
B. If the clamps are incorrectly connected with regard to polarity,
the reverse polarity/fault LED ( ) will light. Unplug the
charger; then remove the clamps. Reconnect the clamps
properly.
4. When the charging complete LED ( ) lights green, the battery is
fully charged.
When the battery is completely charged, the unit automatically goes into
Float Charge Mode. In this mode, the unit monitors the battery voltage
and charges as necessary to assure the selected battery maintains a full
charge. The unit remains in Float Charge Mode as long as the charger
is connected to the battery and plugged into a functioning AC outlet.
When disconnecting charger, disconnect AC cord, remove clamp from
vehicle chassis, and then remove clamp from battery terminal.
