PREPARING TO TEST:
1. Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while battery is
being tested.
2. Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming
in contact with eyes.
3. Inspect the battery for cracked or broken case or cover. If battery
is damaged, do not usetester.
4. If the battery is not sealed maintenance free, add distilled water in
each cell until battery acid reaches level specified by themanu
-facturer. 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 anyarcing.
OPERATION & USE:
1. Remove the cover at the backside bottom of the battery tester.
2. Insert the connectors which contain black-white pairand
yellow-red pair in one end of the lead wire into the sockets which can

1. Before you test a battery in a vehicle, turn off the ignition, all
accessories andloads.
2. Make sure you have put 6 AA 1.5V batteries into the battery
chamber. Oxyride batteries are not recommended because of the
initial 1.7 Volt output. If the internal 1.5V batteries run out of power,
the display will show “POWER LOW”. Replace those 6 AA 1.5V
batteries before starting a newtest.
Note that nothing will be seen on the display until the tester is
connected to a battery.
3. Make sure the battery terminals are clean. Wire brush them if
necessary. Connect the red clamp to the positive battery terminal
post; connect the black clamp to the negative battery terminal post.
For the most accurate results, clamp the lead part of the terminal
only. Attaching to the fixture rather than directly on the terminal will
lead to the unstable testresults.
4. Paper load:
a. Open the clearcover.
b. Place a new paper roll in thecompartment.
c. Pull a short length of paper from the
compartment and press down the clear cover
to close.
