Switch ON / OFF Key Sound Beep 

Whenever a key is pressed, there is a corresponding beep sound which can be heard to indicate that a key has been 
pressed. This sound can be switched ON or OFF by doing the following: 
 

1.  Go to the Main Menu as shown in (Fig.4). 
2.  Press and hold            key for about 3 seconds and a long beep sound will be heard which indicates that 

the change has taken place.  

3.  Then, press any key and the sound is OFF

.

 

4.  To reverse back, do the same procedure as mentioned in step 2 and the sound will be switched ON. 

 

Car / Truck Battery Test 

 

This test is intended for 

12V batteries 

but not for 24V

.

 The reason is, most trucks that use 24V systems have two 12V 

batteries  connected  in  series  to  produce  24V.  To  test  on  24V  system  (12V  battery  x  2),  disconnect  the  connection 
between each battery and test one battery at a time. The test results of an individual battery are more accurate than 
testing two batteries at once due to the unwanted resistance created by the cable joining the first battery to the second 
battery that makes 24V. So, the battery test is catered for 12V batteries only. 
 

Performing Battery Test While it is Still in the Car or Truck: 

A vehicle that was running must have its engine OFF first and then switch ON the headlights for 30 seconds to remove 
the surface charge. After the headlights  are switched OFF, let the battery rest for at least 1 minute to recover before 
testing commences. 
 
The car or truck engine and all other accessory loads must be 

OFF

 during test in order to have accurate results. 

When attaching the analyzer clips, make sure that the battery  posts  were not oxidized or badly corroded. Clean 
them first before clamping to it. Do not clamp onto the steel bolts directly which may give inaccurate and inconsistent 
results.  

If  the  red  and  black  clips  were  accidentally  clamped  directly  on  to  the  24V  output  terminals  of  the  battery  while 
testing truck batteries, the Analyzer display will show (Fig.7 and Fig.8) as below: 

 

 

 

 

This is to indicate that it cannot test a 24V battery. In this case, if the truck consists of two 12V batteries, then test 
them individually (one at a time) see (Fig.9): 

 

 

 

 
 

Testing on stand-alone Batteries: 

Clean the battery posts with a wire brush prior to testing. For side post batteries, install stud adapters. For better results, 
do not use steel bolts. 
 

1.  Clamp  the  Analyzer  red  clip  to  the  battery  positive  terminal  (+)  clamp  the  black  clip  to  the  battery  negative 

terminal (-). The Analyzer LCD will light up with the wake-up screen (Fig.10) on following page:
