Starting the tester for the first time

couple of items. The items are used to set-up specific utilities
such as date/time stamps and hour indication. Changes can
be made afterwards by going in to the Utility Menu and
selecting CONFIG TESTER.
Safety
Because of the possibility of personal injury, always use
extreme caution when working with batteries. Follow
all manufacturers’ instructions and BCI (Battery Council
International) safety recommendations.
