BATTERY SAFETY
Lead-acid batteries commonly used in vehicles, and in the
ATF

D
unit to provide remote
power, can be highly dangerous if the proper precautions are not taken while working in the
vicinity of the battery.
Batteries generate explosive hydrogen gas during normal operation that may ignite in the
presence of sparks, flames, or smoking!
Always have the Main Power switch of the unit in the off position when making connections to
avoid sparks. Connecting the negative (black) power clip to a suitable system ground away
from the battery, and never to the negative post of the battery provides additional protection
from explosive hazard.
