CHECKING THE BATTERY VOLTAGE
To Check the Battery Voltage in Standby Mode
1. Set up the battery charger and connect to the battery following steps 1 through 2
in the “Charging the Battery” section.
2. Press the battery voltage check button. The LCD screen will display the following:
The digital display shows the current voltage of the connected battery for 10
seconds. During this period, pressing the battery voltage check button again will
return the unit to standby mode. The gauge without the pointer will light solid. The
unit will automatically return to standby mode after 10 seconds.
To Check the Battery Voltage in Charging Mode:
Press the battery voltage check button and the LCD screen will display the following:
The digital display shows the current voltage of the connected battery for 10
seconds. During this period, pressing the battery voltage check button again will
return the unit to charging mode. Pressing the alternator check button or the
battery recondition button will have no effect. The unit will automatically return to
charging mode after 10 seconds.
When disconnecting the charger, disconnect the AC cord, remove clamp from the
vehicle chassis, and then remove the clamp from the battery terminal.
USING THE ALTERNATOR CHECK FUNCTION
Set up the battery charger and connect to the battery following steps 1 through 2 in the
“Charging the Battery” section.
Part 1
No Load (turn OFF all vehicle’s accessories):
The battery must be fully charged
before testing the alternator. Run the engine long enough to achieve normal idle speed
and verify there is a no-load voltage.
1. Press the alternator check button to start the check. The LCD screen will display
the following to indicate the unit is analyzing the alternator:
“Check” will flash, and the alternator icon and the gauge without the pointer will
light solid.
2. If the unit detects that the alternator is good, the LCD screen will display the following:
“Good”, the alternator icon and the gauge without the pointer will light solid.
3. If the unit detects that the alternator is out of typical voltage range, the LCD screen
will display the following:
The fault icon will flash; and the alternator icon, “ALT” and the gauge without the
pointer will light solid.
4. Press the alternator check button again to stop the test.
Part 2
Under Load (accessories ON):
Next, load the alternator by turning on as many
accessories as possible (except for A/C and Defrost).
1. Press the alternator check button to start the check. The LCD screen will display
the following to indicate the unit is analyzing the alternator:
“Check” will flash, and the alternator icon and the gauge without the pointer will
light solid.
2. If the unit detects that the alternator is good, the LCD screen will display the
following:
“Good”, the alternator icon and the gauge without the pointer will light solid.
3. If the unit detects that the alternator is out of typical voltage range, the LCD screen
will display the following:
4. The fault icon will flash; and the alternator icon, “ALT” and the gauge without the
pointer will light solid.
5. Press the alternator check button again to stop the test.
Notes:
All buttons except the alternator check button are disabled in alternator check mode.
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.
This check may not be accurate for every make, manufacturer and model of vehicle. Check only 12 volt
systems.
When disconnecting the charger, disconnect the AC cord, remove clamp from the
vehicle chassis, and then remove the clamp from the battery terminal.
RECONDITIONING THE BATTERY
Periodic reconditioning is recommended to maintain a battery’s optimum performance.
Battery recondition sends a series of electrical pulses to break up the crystalline form
of lead sulfate and turn these chemicals into useful battery electrolytes. The process
will stop automatically after 24 hours. To stop the process sooner, press the battery
recondition button a second time. More than 24 hours may be needed to restore
performance on some batteries. If so, repeat the process.
1. Set up the battery charger and connect to the battery following steps 1 through 2
in the “Charging the Battery” section.
2. Press the battery recondition button. The LCD screen will display the following:
The battery recondition indicator, the clamp icons, the battery icon and the gauge
without the pointer will light solid, the bars on the battery icon will change from
solid to empty (top to bottom) repeatedly and the battery recondition icons will
flash.
3. To stop the reconditioning process, press the battery recondition button again.
Pressing any other button during this process will have no effect.
IMPORTANT:
If 5 cycles of reconditioning does not improve battery performance,
discontinue and recycle the battery. The battery charger will go into charging mode after
24 hours automatically.
When disconnecting the charger, disconnect the AC cord, remove clamp from the
vehicle chassis, and then remove the clamp from the battery terminal.
USING THE ENGINE START FUNCTION
1. Set up the battery charger and connect to the battery following steps 1 through 2
in the “Charging the Battery” section.
2. Press the engine start button. The LCD screen will display the following*:
The digital display shows the countdown.* The battery charge gauge will indicate
the battery’s current charge status. The engine start icon, clamp icons and battery
icon light solid, and the bars on the battery icon will change from empty to solid
(bottom to top) repeatedly and the arrow icons will gradually and repeatedly move
downward to the battery icon.
*The countdown will commence from “60” to “00”.
3. When “00” is reached, a beep will sound, engine start icon (
) will begin
flashing. The vehicle is ready to start.
4. Crank the engine using manufacturer’s guidelines, typically in 3 to 5 second bursts.
The digital display shows “5 sec.” indicating a 5-second countdown.
5. After cranking, the unit will automatically adjust the charging current to 3A for 5
minutes and then revert to charging mode. To stop charging, press the charge
button.
IMPORTANT:
The function requires a resting/cooling period between attempts. Wait 4 to
5 minutes before a second attempt at starting the engine, if needed.
When disconnecting charger,
disconnect AC cord, remove clamp from vehicle
chassis, and then remove clamp from battery terminal.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem
Possible Solution
Unit will not charge
• Make sure all connections are secure.
• Check that the charger is properly connected to a live 120
volt AC outlet.
• If the battery to be charged has fallen below 2 volts, the
battery cannot be recharged with this charger.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug the battery charger from the
outlet before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Turning off the controls will not
reduce this risk.

unit in water. Ensure that unit is completely disconnected from battery and power
source before cleaning.
• To maintain the operating condition and maximize the life of the charger cords, always
coil them loosely for storage. Do not wrap them around the unit or crimp them with
a tight band.
• Store the unit in a clean, dry, cool place when not in use.
