TEST PROCEDURES / OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT
WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including
arsenic, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer.
1. For testing 12 volt batteries, and for testing 12 and 24 volt charging systems.
2. Suggested operation range 0ºC (32ºF) to 50ºC (122ºF) in ambient temperature.
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
the vicinity of the battery. Observe cautionary markings on these items.
3. DO NOT expose the tester to rain or snow.

PERSONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
PREPARING TO TEST
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 ood eye with running cold water for at least ten
minutes and get medical attention immediately.
5. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or ame 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.
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 specied by the manufacturer. This helps purge
excessive gas from cells. Do not overll.
5. If necessary to remove battery from vehicle to test, always remove ground
terminal from battery rst. Make sure all accessories in the vehicle are o 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
verication 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.
1. Before you test a battery in a vehicle, turn o the ignition, all accessories and loads.
Close all the vehicle doors and the trunk lid.
2. Make sure you have put 1x CR2032 battery into the battery chamber and set the
date & time. Replace this battery if the date & time goes slower than it should be.
BEFORE TESTING

OPERATION & USE
3. 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.
Note that nothing will be seen on the display until the tester is connected to a
vehicle battery.
