Mounting Instructions:
BM3B battery maintainer is designed to be able to mount to flat surface.
The unit has incorporated two mounting holes at the corners of the unit.
Note: Always disconnect the maintainer at AC power source and at battery terminal when mounting the unit.
To mount the unit:
1. Make sure the surface is flat and free of obstruction so the unit can rest flat on the surface.
2. Make sure the unit is disconnected from both AC power source and the battery.
3. Use 8/32 inches (6.35mm) wood screw to mount the unit through the mounting hole.
4. Do not over tighten the screw, it will damage the housing.
5. Connect the unit to AC power outlet and the unit is ready for use.
WARNING:Do not put the screw through the plastic housing as this will permanently damage the unit and cause
potential electrical hazard.

Red LED – Bad connection, reverse polarity
connection; check that the RED clamp is connected to + battery terminal.
Blinking Green LED – Connection correct and charging
Solid Green LED – Battery fully charged
When the charger is properly connected, the LED will illuminate, indicating the inside smart circuit is functioning to
judge the battery status. This procedure may take up to 2 minutes if battery voltage is lower than 12.8 volts.
Setting the Voltage
The unit has two voltage rate settings (6v, 12v), controlled by one switch. Set the switch to either 6v or 12v
depending upon the battery you are charging.
Connecting the Charger with the Terminal Clamps
The charger's output leads have color-coded battery clamps (Figure 2) (RED-POSITIVE and
BLACK-NEGATIVE).
1. Disconnect battery and remove the battery from vehicle.
2. Unplug the battery maintainer AC cord from the AC outlet.
3. Disconnect the battery clamps from the unit at output cord connector.
4. Connect the RED POSITIVE clamp to the POSITIVE post of the battery.
5. Connect the BLACK NEGATIVE clamp to the NEGATIVE post of the battery.
6. Connect the battery clamp connector with the unit connector, as far away from the battery
as possible.
7. Slide the voltage selector to proper setting and plug the AC cord to AC outlet
8. Observe blinking GREEN LED, indicates unit is operating.
9. Monitor the unit periodically.
WARNING: FOLLOW THE STEPS OUTLINED IN "IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS" AT THE FRONT OF THIS MAN-
UAL AND THE WARNING AT THE BOTTOM OF PAGE 4, "TO REDUCE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY"
Connecting the Charger with Terminal Rings
The charger's output leads have crimped, color-coded ring terminals (Figure 3) (RED-POSITIVE and BLACK-NEGATIVE).
These rings connect directly to the corresponding connectors on the battery posts.
1. Remove the nuts from the bolts of the battery post's connectors.
2. Position the RED terminal on the bolt of the POSITIVE battery post connector.
3. Position the BLACK terminal on the NEGATIVE post connector; then replace the nuts.
4. If there is any problem connecting the output leads, check with a reputable auto supply store or contact the
Customer Service Department toll-free at (800) 544-6986 for assistance in finding an appropriate connection device
for your particular application.
