POWER-UP IDLE TIME LIMIT
If no button is pressed within 10 minutes
after the battery charger is first powered up,
the charger will automatically switch from
tester to charger if a battery is connected. In
that case, the charger will be set to charge
at the 6<>2A rate and Gel battery type.
TESTING AFTER CHARGING
After the unit has been changed from tester
to charger (by selecting a rate), it remains a
charger. To change the battery charger back
to a tester, press the RATE SELECTION
button until all charge rate LEDs are off.
NOTE: The battery tester is only designed
to test batteries. Testing a device with
a rapidly changing voltage could yield
unexpected or inaccurate results.
USING THE ALTERNATOR

on the vehicle's headlights or other
accessories.
4. Read the voltage on the digital display.
If you get a reading between 13.4
volts and 14.6 volts, the alternator
is working properly. If the reading
is less than 13.4 volts or more than
14.6 volts, have the charging system
checked by a qualified technician.
NOTE: Refer to your vehicle owner's
manual for appropriate voltage numbers
for your alternator.

charge within a set time period.
Circumstances that could cause an Abort
situation during maintaining:
• The battery is severely sulfated or has a
weak cell and will not hold a charge.
