many conditions and/or status codes:
When AC power is applied to the charger, actual charge rate in amps, when the battery is

Below the digital display are a series of six LEDs that light on the following condi-
tions:
WET – Lights when battery type selector is on WET battery type.
GEL – Lights when battery type selector is on GEL battery type.
AGM – Lights when battery type selector is on AGM battery type.
Float Charge – Lights when automatic charge monitoring is active. This feature allows a
battery to maintain its charge over long periods of non-use. If there is any loss of power
to the charger once power is restored, charger will automatically return to the default set-
tings. Battery selector type would be "gel."
Battery Voltage – Lights when battery voltage is displayed.
Alternator Good – Lights when load or not load checks show the alternator is keeping
up with the electrical load.
Equalize – A recessed button used to start the equalize process.
CHARGE RATE SELECTION
After charger clamps are correctly connected, plug in the charger to an AC outlet and the
charger will show a circulating pattern on the digital display. This pattern indicates power
is applied. Select proper charge current rate based on battery size. Press the 2/10/25
amp push button and the charger will begin charging at 2 amps. Pressing the 2/10/25
amp push button again will advance the charge rate to 10A, then 25A. Pressing the
switch again will turn OFF the charger output and the display will show "000".
When connected to an AC outlet, digital display shows circulating pattern to
