GROUNDING AND AC POWER CORD CONNECTIONS
This battery charger is for use on a nominal
120 volt circuit and has a grounded plug.
The charger must be grounded, to reduce
the risk of electric shock. The plug must be
plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with
all local codes and ordinances. The plug
pins must fit the receptacle (outlet). Do not
use with an ungrounded system.
NOTE:
Pursuant to Canadian Regulations,
use of an adapter plug is not allowed in
Canada. Use of an adapter plug in the
United States is not recommended and
should not be used.
USING AN EXTENSION CORD
The use of an extension cord is not
recommended. If you must use an
extension cord, follow these guidelines:
•
Pins on plug of extension cord must be the
same number, size, and shape as those of
plug on charger.
•
Ensure that the extension cord is properly
wired and in good electrical condition.
•
Wire size must be large enough for the AC
ampere rating of charger, as specified below:

FEATURES/CONTROL PANEL
DIGITAL DISPLAY
The Digital Display gives a digital indication
of voltage, % of charge or time. The display
will show the battery VOLTAGE when the
charger is not charging a battery. When it
goes into charging mode, the display will
automatically change to
ON
(to show charging
has started) and then show the percent-of-
charge of the battery being charged and
either 6 or 12 (the battery voltage determined
by the charger). If you manually stop the
charging process (by pressing the Rate
Selection button) before the battery is fully
charged, the display will show
OFF
.
NOTE:
During charging, the display will go
into sleep mode and will not show the

• Voltage –
The Digital Display shows the
voltage at the charger battery clamps, in
DC volts.
RATE SELECTION BUTTON
Use this button to select one of the following:
• 6<>2A CHARGING/MAINTAINING –
For charging small and large batteries. Not
