SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• The product is intended for charging lead-acid, gel and AGM batteries. Do not attempt to use the charger as a DC power source -risk of electric shock and/or fire.

• Check that the mains voltage corresponds to the rated voltage on the rating plate. If an extension cord is used the cross-sectional area of the wires must be dimensioned for the power supply to the product.

• Do not use the product if the power cord or plug are damaged, if it is not working properly after it has been dropped or if the product is damaged in any other way.

• Do not open the product. Repairs must only be carried out by qualified personnel. Incorrect installation can cause a fire and/ or electric shock.
  Disconnect the battery charger’s charging cables from the battery and pull out the plug before cleaning.

6. Battery voltage, resolution 0.1 V.

7. Indication of incorrect polarity.

8. Indication of a defective battery.

9. The symbol for the battery clip.

HOW TO USE

• The charger’s mains plug is inserted, but no battery is connected – The backlight flashes green, o.o Vis displayed and the battery clip symbol is lit.

• The battery is connected but the charger’s mains plug is not inserted – The display is blank.

• The charger’s mains plug is inserted and the battery is connected – The backlight flashes green and the battery’s voltage is displayed. After 5
  seconds, the backlight changes to red and charging begins.

• Disconnection of clips during charging or after completed charging – The backlight flashes, o.o Vis displayed, and the battery clip symbol lights.

• The charger’s mains plug is inserted and the battery is connected with incorrect polarity – The backlight flashes and the incorrect polarity symbol is lit.

• The charger’s mains plug is inserted, the battery is connected and there is the voltage between the clips, although there is little or no charging current flowing. – The clips are not connected correctly to the battery, for example, due to oxide on the battery terminals. The display flashes, the battery clips symbol is lit and the voltage between the clips is displayed.

MAINTENANCE

• The product must be stored and used in a dry, well-ventilated area, protected from heat and direct sunlight as well as from corrosive gas. When charging, the product must be placed on a stable surface, as far from the battery being charged as the cables permit.
