Internal Batteries
The tester uses six AA, 1.5-volt batteries (alkaline batteries
recommended) to allow testing of batteries down to 1 volt and
supply power while the menu is active.
Battery Power Indicator
The square in the upper left corner of the display indicates
the charge level of the battery pack. The square is black when
the battery pack is fully charged. It gradually changes to white
as the charge level declines. The tester will display a warning
message when the batteries need replacing.

Clamps
The test cables that come with your analyzer are consumable
items. The more you use them, the shorter their useful life.
Here are a few things you can do to protect your test cables
from damage and premature wear:
Cleaning the Clamps
•
The grease, dirt, and sulfation that build up on battery ter-
minals are highly corrosive and can damage the clamps
over time. Before connecting the clamps, ensure accurate
test readings and protect the clamps by cleaning the bat-
tery case and terminals using a wire brush and a mixture
of water and baking soda.
•
Periodically clean the clamps using a mixture of baking
soda and water, or a mild hand-soap, and a small bristle
brush.
•
To protect the clamps from oil and dirt, clip them to the
back of the analyzer as shown.
