Connecting Memory Saver to a Vehicle
1) The Memory Saver comes with two vehicle cables: a
cable with two cigarette lighter plugs (cigarette lighter
cable) and a cable with a cigarette lighter plug on one
end and an OBDII plug on the other end (OBDII cable).
Both cables supply power from the Memory Saver
internal battery to the vehicle, one through the vehicle
cigarette lighter receptacle, the other through the vehicle
OBDII connector. The cigarette lighter cable has identical
plugs and can be plugged either way.
2) Select one of the two cables and plug the cable cigarette
lighter plug into the Output receptacle on the front of the
Memory Saver.
3) Verify that the Off/On switch is in the Off position.
4) Plug the other end of the cable either into the vehicle
cigarette lighter receptacle, or into the vehicle OBDII
connector. DO NOT turn the Off/On switch on yet.
5) With the Memory Saver power switch still in the Off
position, the green Battery OK LED should light up
indicating a good connection to the vehicle. If it is not
lit, please check the connection.Also check the cigarette
lighter fuse or the OBDII connector fuse.
6) Turn the Memory Saver Off/On switch to the On position.
Observe the LEDs.
a. If the green Battery OK LED remains lit, the
connection is good and the internal Memory Saver
battery is sufciently charged. Proceed to step 7.

6) Mettez l’interrupteur de arrêt/marche de la batterie de
sauvegarde de mémoire sur la position On (Marche).
Surveillez les voyants DEL.
a. Si le voyant DEL vert de batterie OK reste allumé, le
branchement est correct et la batterie interne de la
batterie de sauvegarde de mémoire est sufsamment
chargée. Passez à l’étape 7.
b. Si le voyant DEL rouge de batterie faible s’allume, la
batterie interne est en partie déchargée et il ne reste
environ qu’une heure de fonctionnement. Chargez la
batterie de sauvegarde de mémoire.
c. Si aucun voyant DEL n’est allumé, la batterie interne
est complètement déchargée ou a été retirée. Vériez
que la batterie interne est installée et chargez la
batterie de sauvegarde de mémoire.
7) Vous pouvez maintenant déconnecter la batterie du véhicule
sans perdre les codes de comportement routier et les
paramètres sauvegardés dans la mémoire du véhicule.
Avertissement : assurez-vous qu’aucun accessoire n’est
allumé car cela pourrait réduire de façon importante la durée
pendant laquelle la batterie de sauvegarde de mémoire peut
préserver la mémoire du véhicule.
Avertissement : soyez vigilant lorsque vous utilisez la batterie
de sauvegarde de mémoire. Maintenez-la à distance de la
chaleur, des gaz explosifs, des ammes et des étincelles. Ne
mettez jamais l’appareil en contact avec de l’eau et ne l’exposez
pas à des températures extrêmes. Rechargez toujours la batterie
de sauvegarde de mémoire après l’avoir utilisée ou stockée
pendant une période prolongée.

b. If the red Battery Low LED is lit, the internal battery
is partly discharged and there is only approximately
one hour operating time left. Charge the Memory
Saver.

internal battery is installed and charge the Memory
Saver.
7) Now you can disconnect the vehicle battery without

loads are turned on as they will drastically reduce the time
the Memory Saver can keep the vehicle memory alive.
