charger with cable and DC plug
provided, shown in
2.
Via a 12V vehicle supply using the

plug provided, shown in
A 5Amp fuse is
into the cigar
lighter plug adapter, accessed by
unscrewing the end cap of the
adapter. Take care not to loose the

Charging using the 240 Volt Charger
A.
1.
Plug the cable into the socket at the front of the
unit, then the charger in to the mains supply and
switch ON. The red LED will illuminate to denote
charging is in progress.
2.
Continue to charge until the RED charging light
goes OUT.
It is important to note that this could
take several days, depending upon the state of
charge of the battery.
NOTE: Pressing the ‘TEST’ button, with the charger
connected, will cause the needle on the voltmeter
to register the current state of charge of the battery.
Once the charger is disconnected, it will be noted that
the voltage will slowly settle back. This is normal
and should not cause alarm.
When the LED extinguishes, charging will automatically
stop, indicating that the battery is at maximum capacity.
IMPORTANT! DO NOT allow the needle to enter the RED zone as this
could damage the battery.
