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 utmost importance, if you have any doubt, that each time before
using your tester, you 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 thevicinity 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.
4. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and
water. If acid enters eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water for
at least ten minutes and get medical attention immediately.
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 electrical parts 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.
GROUNDING AND AC POWER CORD CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS
The device must be grounded to reduce risk of electric shock. The device is
equipped with an electric cord having an equipment grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER –Never alter AC cord or plug provided –if it will not fit outlet, have
proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Improper connection can result in
a risk of an electric shock.
USE OF AN ADAPTER IS NOT ALLOWED IN SOME COUNTRIES LIKE
CANADA. IF AGROUNDING-TYPE RECEPTACLE IS NOT AVAILABLE, DO
NOT USE THIS APPLIANCE UNTIL THE PROPER OUTLET IS INSTALLED BY
A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

5
This battery Tester is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding
plug that looks like the plug illustrated in sketchA. A temporary adapter, which
looks like the adapter illustrated in sketches Band C, may be used to connect this
plug to a two-pole receptacle as shown in sketch B if a properly grounded outletis
not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly
grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.
DANGER –Before using adapter as illustrated, be certain that center screw of
outlet plate is grounded. The green-colored rigid ear or lug extending from
adapter must be connected to a properly grounded outlet–make certain it is
grounded. If necessary, replace original outlet cover plate screw with a longer
screw that will secure adapter ear or lug to outlet cover plate and make ground
connection to grounded outlet.

INSTALL THE CLAMP SET:
1. Follow the below instruction to plug two connectors of the clamp set to the
back of the tester.
2. Insert the top three connectors by matching the color of the connectors.
NOTE: ALWAYS HOLD THE CONNECTORS INSTEAD OF THE WIRES WHEN
INSERTING OR REPLACING THE CLAMP SET.
REPLACE THE CLAMP SET:
1. Hold the connectors and pull them off from the back off the tester.
2. Insert a new clamp set by following above install the clamp set instruction.
NOTE: ALWAYS HOLD THE CONNECTORS INSTEAD OF THE WIRES WHEN
INSERTING OR REPLACING THE CLAMP SET.

7
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 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 it is 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.
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.
