Protection against short circuits and reverse polarity
The charger recognises a short circuit or a battery which has been connected with
wrong polarity automatically. In this case the selected charging programme will not
be started. LED (5) is on.
Charging the battery
First ensure that it is a lead-acid battery with a voltage of 6 V resp. 12 V or
a lithium battery (LiFePO
4
) with BMS with a voltage of 12 V.
Rechargeable
batteries with other voltages cannot be charged!
Disconnect all consumers from the rechargeable battery.
If the rechargeable battery is built into a vehicle, switch off the ignition and all
consumers.
First, connect the charger to the power supply (100 – 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz).
Connect the proper connection adapter with the charging cable of the device.
Then, you may select from various functions by pressing the MODE button (8).
Please strictly observe the information of the manufacturer of the rechargeable
battery concerning permissible final charging voltage and maximum charging
current when selecting the correct operating mode.
Connect the charger to the rechargeable battery observing correct polarity.
Reverse polarity on the connected rechargeable battery or a defective battery is
indicated by LED (5 resp. 6).
After charging, disconnect the battery charger from the power supply.
Then remove the terminal from the minus pole of the rechargeable battery and
then from the plus pole.
i
The battery charger has an Auto-Memory-Function. Following a
supply voltage failure, it ensures that the device will automatically
return to the previously selected mode after power is restarted.

Please strictly observe any and all information and safety instruc-
tions of the vehicle on how the rechargeable vehicle battery needs to
be charged. Modern vehicles are equipped with sensitive electronic
components and control units which will be damaged when handled
improperly!
