RISK OF EXPLOSION
Only connect the battery leads when the mains supply is disconnected.
Explosive gases may escape from the battery during the charging process.
Prevent flames and sparks and provide adequate ventilation during charging.
Indoor use only.
Unplug the charger from the mains before breaking or making the connection to
the battery.
Not suitable for use with non-rechargeable batteries.
In addition to the battery types and capacity detailed in the specifications,the
charger is suitable for the following only:
Charging only a single battery at any one time
Charging rechargeable lead acid, Gel, EFB, AGM or calcium batteries
with 6 cells
Th Smart Charger automatically adjusts the charge rate applied as the
battery charges. With the battery fully charged the charging process stops, as
the battery naturally discharges further charge is applied until the battery is
again fully charged. This is an ongoing process to ensure a safe connection for an
indefinite period.
This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons

Pressing theAuto Charge function will automatically apply the fastest charge rate the battery connected can safely take.
With this mode selected`AUTO`is displayed on the LCD display
Charging is complete when 100% is displayed on the LCD screen
Battery Charging Mode
For standard battery charging at temperatures over 5C
Increases the battery voltage to 14.4v(standard vehicle)or 14.6v (start/stop vehicle).
。
Winter Mode
Used for charging batteries at low temperatures(-20C to +5C). Increases the battery voltage to 14.6v
(standard vehicle) or 14.8v(Start/Stop vehicle).
Recondition Mode
Applies a controlled increased charging voltage to allow recovery of deeply discharged batteries
Maintenance Mode
Applies to low 0.8A charging rate, ideal for long term seasonal connection
1.Press the navigation arrows to select the battery charging icon and press SET.
*Default charging modes
Battery analysing modes operate with and without AC mains supply. Connecting the battery clips to the battery
automatically activates the charger

F01
Battery voltage below 12v
after charging for 300mins
If after 20 hours(five times in Recondition
mode) due to a faulty battery, the
battery does not enter the float stage
Battery is defective
or Load maybe connected to the battery
Battery is sulphated
beyond reconditioning
Replace the battery
Disconnect load from the battery
Replace the battery
F02
Battery voltage too high Battery rated above 12v Check the battery rating
F03
Actual charging rate
exceeds the charge rate set
Charger error
or Interference from another device
Disconnect the charger and the AC supply, then
reconnect, if error happens again charger faulty
Turn off/ disconnect other devices
that may caues interference.
F04
Charger temperature too high High ambient temperature
or Poor ventilation
Select a lower charging current to charge
Allow the charger to cool for 30mins
Ensure enough space for adequate
ventilation(10cm clearance)
F05
Does not enter float stage within 24hrs Charge current too low
or Load maybe connected to a battery
or Battery is defective
Disconnect battery and AC supply.
Reconnect and select a higher charging rate
Disconnect load from battery
Replace the battery
