1. Read the safety notes and take the stated precautions.
2. Connect the charger’s mains plug to a power socket.
3. Connect the charger’s red cable clamp to the battery’s positive
terminal post (+), and the black cable clamp to the battery’s
negative terminal post (-). If the charger is correctly connected,
the LED will flash orange for around 3 seconds. If the cables
are incorrectly connected, the LED will change to a constant
red. If that is the case, check the connection and adjust if
required.

LED will stop flashing and changes to a constant orange.
5. When charging is complete, as indicated by a constant green
light, the charger clamps can either be disconnected from
the battery terminals or remain connected for permanent
maintenance of charge. If the charger remains connected to the
battery, it will switch to a maintenance charge of 13.7 volts as
long as it is connected to the mains.
6. Charging may be interrupted at any time, by unplugging the
charger’s mains plug from the power socket.
7. Following completion of the charge, unplug the mains, disconnect
the cable clamps from the battery terminals.
