TEST PROCEDURES / OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT
1. For testing 6 and 12 volt batteries, and for testing 12 and 24 volt charging
systems.
2. Suggested operation range 0℃(32℉) to 50℃(122℉) in ambient
temperature.
WARNING
WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including arsenic, which is
known to the State of California to cause cancer.
For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
1. Working in the vicinity of a lead acid battery is dangerous. Batteries generate
explosive gases during normal battery operation. For this reason, it is of
importance, if you have any doubts, before using your tester to read these
instructions very carefully.
2. To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those
published by the battery manufacturer and manufacturer of any equipment
you intend to use in the vicinity of the battery. Observe cautionary markings on
these items.
3. Do not expose the tester to rain or snow.
PERSONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
1. Someone should be within range of your voice or close enough to come to
your aid when you work near a lead acid battery.
2. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin,
clothing or eyes.
3. Wear safety glasses and protective clothing.

Version 04/2020 3
4. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, immediately wash with soap and water.
If acid enters eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water for at least
ten minutes and get medical attention.
5. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine.
6. Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto the battery. It
could spark or short-circuit the battery or other electricalparts and could cause
an explosion.
7. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and
watches when working with a lead acid battery. It can produce a short circuit
current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal causing a severe burn.
PREPARING TO TEST:
1. Be sure surrounded area of battery is well ventilated while battery is being
tested.
2. Clean battery terminals.
3. Inspect the battery for cracked or broken case or cover. If battery is damaged,
do not use tester.
4. If the battery is not sealed maintenance free, add distilled water in each cell
until battery acid reaches level specified by the manufacturer. This helps
purge excessive gas from cells. Do not overfill.
5. If necessary to remove battery from vehicle to test, always remove ground
terminal from battery first. Make sure all accessories in the vehicle are off to
ensure you do not cause any arcing.

Version 04/2020 4
OPERATION & USE:
Note: Each time you connect the tester to a battery, the tester will run a quick
cable verification to ensure a proper connection through the output cables to
sensors in the clamp jaws. If the connection checks out OK, the tester will
proceed to the Home Screen. If the connection is poor, the display will show
“CHECK CABLE”. In this case, check cable connections for visible signs of
damage, as you may need to re-connect the clamps to the battery or replace the
cable end.
HOW TO REPLACE CABLE END:
1. Detach the clamp lead when the replacement is necessary.
2. Make sure the new clamp lead is well connected.
NOTE that do not detach the cables unless it is needed to make sure
the pins are not rusted or corroded by the acid liquid.

Version 04/2020 5
BEFORE TESTING:
1. Before you test a battery in a vehicle, turn off the ignition, all accessories and
loads. Close all the vehicle doors and the trunk lid.
2. Make sure you have put 6 pcs 1.5V batteries into the battery chamber.
Oxyride batteries are not recommended because of the initial 1.7 Volt output.
If the 1.5V battery runs out of power, screen will show “POWER LOW”.
Replace those 6 pcs 1.5V batteries before starting the test.
Note that nothing will be seen on the display until the tester is
connected to a vehicle battery.
3. Make sure the battery terminals are clean. Brush them if necessary. Clamp the
black load lead to the vehicle negative battery terminal. Clamp the red load
lead to the vehicle positive battery terminal. Please clamp on the lead part of
the terminal only. Clamping on the iron part of the terminal will lead to wrong
test results.
4. Paper load:
Open the clear cover. Insert paper to the paper feeding for auto running the
paper into printer
PAPER REPLACEMENT:
A. Open the clear cover.
B. Insert replaced paper roll into thepaper feeding for auto running the paper into
the printer.
C. Pull the paper slowly and straightly from the paper roll in the chamber.

AVERTISSEMENT
AVERTISSEMENT: Ce produit peut vous exposer à des produits chimiques, y
compris l'arsenic, qui est connu dans l'État de Californie pour être une cause de
cancer.
Pour plus d'informations, consultez le site www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
AVERTISSEMENT：
1. ll est dangereux de travailler près d'une batterie au plomb-acide. Lors du
fonctionnement normal d'une batterie, des gaz explosifs sont émis. Pour
cette raison il est primordial de lire et de suivre les instructions, chaque fois
que vous utilisez votre testeur.
2. Afin de réduire les risques d'explosion de la batterie, vous devez suivre
ces instructions ainsi que celles du fabricant de la batterie ou du fabricant
de tout équipement utilisé près de la batterie. Lisez les avertissements
apposés sur ces produits.
3. Ne pas exposer le testeur à la pluie ou a la neige.
PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÉCURITÉ：
1. Assurez-vous qu'il y a quelqu'un à portée de vue ou suffisamment près pour
vous venir en aide lorsque vous travaillez près d'une batterie au plomb-acide.
2. Assurez-vous d'avoir une bonne quantité d'eau fraîche et du savon à
proximité, au cas ou votre peau, vos yeux ou vos vêtements entreraient en
contact avec l'acide de la batterie.
