Quick Set Operations
After connecting to a battery:
With your OPTIMA
®
Digital 400
set up as outlined in pages 18-20, you can now make quick and easy
selections. With the charger plugged into a GFCI protected 110 VAC outlet, and properly connected to a
battery, the OPTIMA
®
Digital 400 will automatically perform a quick self-test of the display and all LEDs.
Following the self-test you will be prompted by the display and the battery type LEDs will flash indicating
the Digital 400 is ready to charge or maintain. The LCD screens you will see:
Note: Self test takes less than 2 minutes. If after 10 minutes no selection is made,
the OPTIMA
®
Digital 400 will automatically default to a safe charging/maintaining mode.
Note: It is recommended to make a selection and allow the charger to finish that selection
before making a different selection.
Below is an overview of each function that can be selected.
1. Pre-Charge Battery Status.
Note: Vehicle engine and all charging systems must be off.
This quick and easy feature allows you to understand your battery’s state of charge before
charging it. To use this feature, use the battery pre-charge status function. The LCD display will
provide the current state of battery in % of charge and DC volts in the numeric display. Below
is a typical sequence of the display during this selection.
Note: If the charger identifies a fault during this process or any quick set process it will
illuminate the
“Check Battery” icon on the charger. Read the fault message and attend
to the battery or charger. See pages 23 and 24 for Fault Screens and Troubleshooting steps.

2. Quick Set Charging by Battery Type.
From the battery type selector choose the BATTERY TYPE that matches the battery type descriptions
as outlined on page 17 titled: “Charging Battery Types & Approximate Charge Times.”
After selecting 1 of the 4 battery types the charger will begin its stage 1 “Analyzing Battery” mode. This
mode can take up to 2 minutes to complete while it determines the state of your battery and check that
all connections made are correct. The charger is charging and testing the battery at this time.
Upon completing the Stage 1 “Analyzing Battery” mode, the charger will start its multi-stage
charging process checks and will sequence through the illustrated LCD screens highlighted below:
Analyzing Battery Mode (screen not shown)
Charging Battery Mode
Conditioning Battery Mode
Maintaining Battery
30 Day Recondition Mode
Note: If the charger identifies a fault during this process or any quick set process it will
illuminate the
“Check Battery” icon on the charger. Read the fault message and attend
to the battery or charger. See pages 23 and 24 for Fault Screens and Troubleshooting steps.
