TESTING OUT-OF-VEHICLE
Clean the battery posts or side terminals with a wire brush. Failure to properly
install the stud adapters, or using stud adapters that are dirty or worn, may
result in false test results. Do not use steel bolts.
TESTING IN-VEHICLE
Turn off the vehicle and all accessory loads. Testing with the ignition switch on
or vehicle loads on may cause inaccurate readings.
If the vehicle was running prior to testing, turn on the headlights for
30 seconds to remove the surface charge. Let the battery rest for 1 minute to
recover before testing.
SELECTING THE RATING SYSTEM
1. Connect the tester clamps to the battery: red to the positive (+)
terminal, black to the negative (-) terminal. For a good connection, rock
each clamp back and forth.
2. The battery rating system last selected will appear on the display for
3 seconds, and then to the default rating. If the rating system is correct,
go to step 3 in BATTERY TEST.
3. Disconnect the clamps and connect the black clamp to the negative
(-) terminal.
4. Press and hold the
button.
5. Connect the positive clamp (red) to the positive (+) terminal.
6. After the display shows the letters of the rating system with dots
(for example, .C.C.A), release the
button.
7. Use the
buttons to scroll to the correct rating system.
