Chapter 1: Before You Begin

Starting the tester for the first time

When the tester is first used the operator is asked to enter a 

couple of items such as language, date and time. Changes 

can be made afterwards by going in to the Utility Menu and 

selecting CONFIG TESTER.

Safety

Because of the possibility of personal injury, always use 

extreme caution when working with batteries. Follow 

all manufacturers’ instructions and BCI (Battery Council 

International) safety recommendations.

General Precautions

 

Battery acid is highly corrosive. If acid enters your 

eyes, immediately flush them thoroughly with run-

ning cold water for at least 15 minutes and seek 

medical attention. If battery acid gets on your skin or 

clothing, wash immediately with water and baking 
soda.

 

Always wear proper safety glasses or face shield 

when working with or around batteries.  

 

Keep hair, hands, and clothing as well as the analyzer 
cords and cables away from moving engine parts.

 

Remove any jewelry or watches before you start 
servicing the battery. 

 

Use caution when working with metallic tools to pre-

vent sparks or short circuits.

 

Never lean over a battery when testing, charging or 

jump starting it.

Risk of explosive gases. 

Never smoke or allow a spark or 

flame in the vicinity of a battery.

Batteries can produce a highly explosive mix 

of hydrogen gas and oxygen, even when the 

battery is not in operation. Always work in a 

well-ventilated area.

Wash hands after handling.

REQUIRED BY CALIFORNIA PROP. 65: Battery posts, terminals, 

and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, 

chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer and 

birth defects or other reproductive harm.

The tester is manufactured in line with the latest state of the 

art and according to recognised safety standards. If used 

incorrectly or misused, however, it can cause

- injury or death to the user or a third party,

- damage to the tester and other material assets 

belonging to the operator,

- inefficient operation of the tester.

All persons involved in commissioning, operating, maintaining 

and servicing the tester must

- be suitably qualified,

- have knowledge of and experience in dealing with 

testers and batteries and

- read and follow these operating instructions carefully.
