damage to the equipment or faulty measurements.
Instructions and tips for operation.
Numbers in illustrations (1, 2, 3 ...) refer to the corresponding numbers in brackets
(1), (2), (3) ... in the text next to the item numbers in the tables.
Instructions for which the order must be followed are numbered (1, 2, 3, ...).
Lists are marked with bullet points (●, ●, ...).
2 Safety and accident prevention rules
2.1 Important
For testing 12 volt batteries, and for testing 12 and 24 volt charging
systems.
Suggested operation range 0℃(32℉) to 50℃(122℉) in ambient
temperature.
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Do not expose the tester to rain or snow.

2.2 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.
2.3 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 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.
Performance description
3.1 Operation & Use
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.

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 the battery terminals are clean. Wire 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.

5. Press the «ENTER» key, one of the three results will be displayed along with the
actual reading measured..
HIGH CHARGING VOLTS WHEN TEST AT IDLE
The voltage output from the alternator to the battery exceeds
the normal limits of a functioning regulator. Check to ensure
there is no loose connection and the ground connection is
normal. If there is no connection issue, replace the regulator.
ALT. IDLE VOLTS
xx.xx V HIGH
Since most alternators have the regulator built-in, this will require you to replace the
alternator. The normal high limit of a typical automotive regulator is 14.7 volts +/-
0.05. Check manufacturer specifications for the correct limit, as it will vary by vehicle
type and manufacturer.
CHARGING SYSTEM NORMAL WHEN TEST AT IDLEDas The
system is showing normal output from the alternator. No
problem is detected.
ALT. IDLE VOLTS
xx.xx V NORMAL
LOW CHARGING VOLTS WHEN TEST AT IDLE
The alternator is not providing sufficient current to the
battery. Check the belts to ensure the alternator is rotating
with engine running. If the belts are slipping or broken,
