3. If the unit detects that the alternator is out of typical voltage range, the LCD screen will display the following:
The half-full battery icon will light solid and the triangular alarm icon will flash.
4. Press the alternator check button again to stop the test.
PART 2
Next, load the alternator by turning on as many accessories as possible (except for
Under Load (accessories ON):
A/C and Defrost).
1. Press the alternator check button to start the check. The LCD screen will display the following to indicate the unit is
analyzing the alternator:
The pump engine icon and the half-full battery icon will flash.
2. If the unit detects that the alternator is good, the LCD screen will display the following:
The pump engine icon will light solid, and the bars on the battery icon will change from empty to solid (bottom to
top) repeatedly.
3. If the unit detects that the alternator is out of typical voltage range, the LCD screen will display the following:
The half-full battery icon will light solid and the triangular alarm icon will flash.
4. Press the alternator check button again to stop the test.
Notes:
The battery voltage check button is disabled in alternator check mode.
The unit may detect that the alternator is out of typical voltage range because someone has added a number of accessory loads on
the charging system, thereby increasing current demand from the alternator. MAKE SURE THAT THE ALTERNATOR IS RATED TO
SUPPORT THE APPLICATION.
This check may not be accurate for every make, manufacturer and model of vehicle. Check only 12 volt systems.
When disconnecting the charger, disconnect the ac mains plug, remove clamp from vehicle chassis, and then remove clamp from
battery terminal.
Checking the Battery Voltage
1. Set up the battery charger and connect to the battery following steps 1 through 2 in the "Charging the Battery"
section.
2. Press the battery voltage check button. The LCD screen will display the following:
The digital display shows the current voltage of the connected battery.
To check the battery voltage while in charging mode, press the battery voltage check button and the LCD screen will
display the following:
When disconnecting charger, disconnect the ac mains plug, remove clamp from vehicle chassis, and then remove
clamp from battery terminal.

Reconditioning the Battery
Periodic reconditioning is recommended to maintain a battery's optimum performance. Battery recondition sends
a series of electrical pulses to break up the crystalline form of lead sulfate and turn these chemicals into useful
battery electrolytes. The process will stop automatically after 24 hours. To stop the process sooner, press the battery
recondition button a second time. More than 24 hours may be needed to restore performance on some batteries. If so,
repeat the process.
1. Set up the battery charger and connect to the battery following steps 1 through 2 in the "Charging the Battery"
section.
2. Press the battery recondition button. The LCD screen will display the following:
The bars on the battery icon will change from solid to empty (top to bottom) repeatedly and the icons pointing to
the "+" and "–" flash.
IMPORTANT:
If 5 cycles of reconditioning does not improve battery performance, discontinue and recycle the
battery.
When disconnecting charger, disconnect the ac mains plug, remove clamp from vehicle chassis, and then remove
clamp from battery terminal.
Using the Engine Start Timer
1. Set up the battery charger and connect to the battery following steps 1 through 2 in the "Charging the Battery"
section.
2. Press the engine start timer button. The LCD screen will display the following*:
The digital display shows the countdown. The bars on the battery icon will change from empty to solid (bottom to
top) repeatedly and the arrow logos pointing to the "+" and "–" flash.
*The countdown will commence from "8" to "0".
3. When "0" is reached, the "pump engine" icon (
4. Crank the engine using manufacturer's guidelines, typically in 3 to 5 second bursts. The function requires a resting/
cooling period between attempts. Wait 4 to 5 minutes before a second attempt at starting the engine, if needed.
Two minutes after the "pump engine" icon flashes, the charger automatically reverts to charging mode. To stop
charging, press the charge button.
When disconnecting charger, disconnect the ac mains plug, remove clamp from vehicle chassis, and then remove
clamp from battery terminal.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Unit Not Charging
• Check that the charger is properly connected to a live 220-240 volt ac mains socket.
•
If the battery to be charged has fallen below 2 volts, the battery cannot be recharged with these chargers.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Storage
• Store the unit in a clean, dry, cool place when not in use.
• Clean the unit casing and cords (as necessary) with a dry (or slightly damp) cloth. Ensure that unit is completely
disconnected from battery and power source before cleaning.
• To maintain the operating condition and maximize the life of the charger cords, always coil them loosely for storage.
Do not wrap them around the unit or crimp them with a tight band.
) will begin flashing for two minutes. The vehicle is ready to start.
