NOTE
The maintain mode technology uti-
lized in chargers allows you to safely
charge and maintain a healthy battery
for extended periods of time. However,
problems with the battery, electrical
problems in the vehicle, improper con-
nections or other unanticipated condi-
tions could cause excessive current
draws. As such, occasionally monitor-
ing your battery and the charging pro-
cess is recommended.
Using the Battery Voltage Tester:
With the charger unplugged from the AC
outlet, connect the charger to the battery
following the instructions given in sec-
tions 6 and 7.
Plug the charger AC power cord into
the AC outlet, following the instructions
given in section 8.
If necessary, press the BATTERY TYPE
button until the correct type is indicated.
Read the voltage on the digital display.
Keep in mind that this reading is only a
battery voltage reading; a false surface
charge may mislead you.
Power-Up Idle Time Limit
If no button is pressed within 10 minutes af-
ter the battery charger is first powered up,
the charger will automatically switch from
tester to charger if a battery is connected. In
that case, the charger will be set to charge at
the maintain mode and gel cell battery type.
Testing After Charging
After the unit has been changed from tester
to charger (by selecting a charge rate), it re-
mains a charger. To change the battery charg-
er back to a tester, press the CHARGE RATE
button until all charge rate LEDs are off.
Fan
The charger is designed to control its cooling
fan for efficient operation. It is normal
for the fan to start and stop when maintaining
a fully charged battery. Keep the area near the
charger free of obstructions to allow the fan
to operate efficiently.
