12. PREPARING TO CHARGE IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - READ EACH TIME BEFORE USING THE CHARGER a) If necessary to remove battery from vehicle to charge, always remove grounded terminal from battery first. Make sure all accessories in the vehicle are off, so as not to cause an arc. b) Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while battery is being charged. Gas can be forcefully blown away by using a piece of cardboard or other non-metallic material as a fan. c) Clean battery terminals.

18. IF THE BATTERY IS DEEPLY DISCHARGED (AND POSSIBLY SULPHATED), REMOVE FROM THE VEHICLE and inspect the battery before connecting the charger as indicated in 16(a) through 16(d). Visually check the battery for mechanical defects such as a bulging or cracked casing, or signs of electrolyte leakage.

NEW BATTERY PROGRAM (1 HOUR): PRE-QUALIFICATION TEST: RED LED #9 flashing The battery voltage is below 12V which is not expected for a new dry charged battery recently filled with acid according to the manufacturers instructions and the acid was allowed to settle for at least 60 minutes before connection to the charger; the battery may have fatal damage such as a shorted cell. DO NOT CHARGE OR USE THE BATTERY.
PAGE 7
PRE-QUALIFICATION TEST: LED #7 / 8 / 9 TEST LEDs #7/8/9 indicate the condition of the battery prior to charging. Charging commences after 10 seconds. Consult the “EARLY WARNING OF BATTERY PROBLEMS” table on page 2 (illustration 2) for TEST LED indications. LED #9 (red) flashing: The OptiMate PRO is injecting a test signal to see if the battery is recoverable. Once the indication becomes steady for up to 10 seconds charging will commence.

sustained or that despite recovery attempts the battery was irrecoverable. This may be due to a defect in the battery itself, such as a short-circuited cell or total sulphation, or, in the case of a battery still connected to the electrical system it supports, the red LED #9 may be signalling a loss of current through deteriorated wiring or a degraded switch or contact, or in-circuit current-consuming accessories.
