B.  Using the charger 

 

1.  Check the supplied accessories: 

 

AC cord, Remote Battery temperature sensor, CD (software) & USB cable are with the package.   

 

2.    Remove the magnetic dummy remote control panel on the front of the charger to select the battery type and the max. output 

  (charging) current, you may need to ply it open to get a hold the edge of the panel in order to lift it out . 

 

3.  Battery Type Selection 

  Check against the Absorption and Float Voltage with the battery type and specifications given in section 

N.

 

  Make sure the charger is power OFF. 

  Use a small slot type screw driver to select the battery through Battery Selection Switch (4).
