PRINTING TEST
Once the test has been completed, if the tester is equipped with a printer, test results can be printed by
pressing the printer button after the test has been completed. If the tester is not equipped with a printer,
follow the instructions contained in the last section.
12V BATTERY OPERATING AND USE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Before testing a battery in a motor vehicle, switch off the motor vehicle as well as all the accessories
and loads. Close all the motor vehicle doors and the boot.
CAUTION: After switching off the motor vehicle engine, switch on the headlights, and leave them
on for approximately 30 seconds, so that the battery surface charge can be removed.
CAUTION: On 24V systems, test 12V batteries individually.
NB: The screen will not show anything if the tester is not connected to the motor vehicle battery.
2. Make sure that the battery terminals are clean. Clean with a metal brush, if necessary. Clamp the red
lead to the negative terminal on the motor vehicle battery. Clamp the red lead to the positive terminal on
the motor vehicle battery.
Make sure that the tester clamps and the battery posts make good contact with each other, so
that a correct test can be performed.

DRIVER INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT!!
Before the drivers are installed, the tester should not be connected to the computer through the USB
port; otherwise, installation will fail, and no results will be shown when the tester is connected.
If this mistake was made and the drivers were installed at a later stage, after connecting the tester to
the computer, the drivers will have to be uninstalled and reinstalled, making sure that the tester is not
connected through the USB port.
The drivers are installed through the CD supplied with the tester case.
Follow the various installation steps; when these are completed, you will be able to launch the programme.
Before launching the software, connect the tester to the USB port of your PC.

USER INFORMATION
GEL BATTERIES
A gel battery is a lead calcium battery with positive and negative plates immersed in a gelatinous
solution. It is hermetically sealed and requires no maintenance. These batteries are usually used in
