What to Expect from the BCT-460NAV:  

The BCT-460NAV is a portable full-featured menu-driven battery tester, starting, and 

charging system analyzer that provides quick, professional load results using Auto Meter's 

Digital Pulse Load. The BCT-460NAV is user friendly. It guides you through the test and 

tells you what to do next.

Caution: 

The BCT-460NAV grill may get hot after repeated use. Be sure to hold the unit 

from the side grips only. Keep hands away from the grill. Keep oil and liquids away from 

the grill and load coils.

You have purchased one of Auto Meter's hand-held Electrical System Analyzers. It is designed 

to test each component of a truck’s electrical charging and starting system with speed and 

accuracy. If you should have any questions about your tester, testing procedures, or service 

see the last page of this booklet for contact information.

This appears during the 1st use of your new BCT-460NAV, and after 

any software updates. Touch MORE to continue reading/reviewing the 

agreement. Touch ACCEPT to continue to the testers home page. At the 

end of the agreement, if you touch DECLINE, there will be a link you can
