Showing the Ampere-hours total.
Press the key to show the total Ampere-hours since the totals were last
reset. Int is shown, and all the uncorrected normal total Ampere-hours
are shown in the upper numerals. They show the net charge or discharge
in Ampere-hours since the unit's counters were last reset. (A new, ex-
factory, instrument shows zero.) To reset the Ampere-hours integrator,
press the key and keep it pressed until 0 is shown.
Showing the time to go.
Press the key to show the percentage remaining battery capacity (%C),
and the up-to-date estimate of how long it will take to charge or discharge
the battery fully. As the load changes, the estimate of the time updates
continuously, reflecting the best estimate of time to fully charged or fully
discharged (0% remaining charge). Values in excess of 199 hours are
shown as 199 hr.

will display the starter battery voltage together with
the symbol ‘St’
NOTE:
The open circuit voltage can indicate the starter battery’s state of
charge. However when displaying the starter battery’s voltage, the
instrument continues to monitor all aspects of the domestic battery, and
