4.1.11 Auto-Off-Manual 

Switch 

OFF. 

 
4.1.12  Connect the TI to the Power Supply or Optima Battery. 
 
4.1.13  Observe the stopwatch or timer. Simultaneously Set the stop watch or note the time and press the TI switch 

to “AUTO”. The green led illuminates.  

 
4.1.14  At the end of 15 seconds, the voltmeter holds (freezes) its voltage. Approximately 3 seconds later a 

contactor click-out is heard and the green led turns-off.
