Notes Concerning the Alternator Check Function:
A.
IMPORTANT:
This check may not be accurate for every make,
manufacturer and model of vehicle. Check only 12 volt systems.
B. The unit may detect that the alternator is out of typical
voltage range because someone has added a number of
accessory loads on the charging system, thereby increasing
current demand from the alternator. MAKE SURE THAT THE
ALTERNATOR IS RATED TO SUPPORT THE APPLICATION.
C. Press and hold the Single/Multi-Bank Selection Button for one
second to toggle to view a different charging Bank in the Multi-
Bank mode.
D. Press the Single/Multi-Bank Selection Button to switch the unit
to either the Single-Bank or Multi-Bank mode.
Starting the Engine
IMPORTANT: The Engine Start function can ONLY be performed
in Single-Bank Mode (using the Bank 1 battery clamps).

2. Press the Engine Start Button once. A beep will sound and the
LCD Screen shows the following:
The Bank 1 Indicator and the Pump Engine Icon flash. The Digital

change from empty to solid (bottom to top) repeatedly. The Clamp
Icons and the Battery Icon will light solid.
NOTES:
A. The Engine Start function may not be started if the battery
charger detects that the battery is at full capacity (fully
charged).
B. The Engine Start countdown process can be terminated by
pressing the Engine Start Button again to stop the function.
3. When “0” is reached, a beep will sound and the LCD Screen will
show the following:
The Bank 1 Indicator flashes. The Pump Engine Icon will light
solid and the Digital Display shows “0 SEC” to indicate the
vehicle is ready to start. The Clamps Icon and the Battery Icon
light solid. The bars on the Battery Icon will change from empty
to solid (bottom to top) repeatedly.
4. Crank the engine using manufacturer’s guidelines, typically in 3 to
5 second bursts. The Digital Display shows “5 SEC” (a 5-second
countdown to use as a timer when cranking the engine).
5. After cranking, the unit will automatically adjust the charging current
to 7.5A for 5 minutes, and then revert to Charging Mode. To stop
charging, press the Battery Charge Button.
