3. If the unit detects that the alternator is out of typical voltage range, the LCD screen will display the

following:

The fault icon and “ALT” will flash; and the alternator icon, and the gauge without the pointer will

light solid.

4. Press the alternator check button again to stop the test.

Notes:

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 AC cord, 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 battery recondition indicator, the clamp icons, the battery icon and the gauge without the

pointer will light solid, the bars on the battery icon will change from solid to empty (top to bottom)

repeatedly and the battery recondition icons will flash.

3. To stop the reconditioning process, press the battery recondition button again.

Important:

If 5 cycles of reconditioning does not improve battery performance, discontinue and

recycle the battery. The battery charger will go into charging mode after 24 hours automatically.

When disconnecting charger, disconnect AC cord, remove clamp from vehicle chassis, and then remove

clamp from battery terminal.

Using the Engine Start Function

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 button. The LCD screen will display the following*:

The digital display shows the countdown.* The battery charge gauge will indicate the battery’s

current charge status. The engine start icon flashes. The clamp icons and battery icon light solid,

and the bars on the battery icon will change from empty to solid (bottom to top) repeatedly and the

arrow icons will gradually and repeatedly move downward to the battery icon.

*The countdown will commence from “30” to “0”.
