5. Operating Instructions
5.1. MP00205B Battery Charger/Maintainer Operation
- Automatic Charging: Once connected to the battery and AC power, the charger automatically detects the battery status and initiates the appropriate charging mode.
- LED Indicators: The charger features LED indicators to show the charging status:
- Red LED (Charging/Desulfating): Indicates the battery is actively charging or undergoing desulfation.
- Green LED (Absorption/Charged/Maintain): Indicates the battery is in the absorption phase, fully charged, or in maintenance mode.
- Pulse Charging Technology: The charger uses pulse charging to optimize battery performance and extend its lifespan, especially for batteries in poor condition. This includes a soft start and desulfation for weak batteries, and an absorption pulse mode for a 100% full charge.
- Maintenance Mode: After the battery is fully charged, the charger automatically switches to a maintenance (float) mode, keeping the battery at an optimal 13.6V without overcharging.

5.2. MP69033 OBD2 Code Reader Operation
- Read Codes: Access and display Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) that have triggered the Check Engine Light.
- Erase Codes: Clear DTCs from the vehicle's computer. Note: Erasing codes does not fix the underlying problem.
- View Freeze Frame: Display a snapshot of sensor readings at the moment a fault code was set.
- I/M Readiness: Check if the vehicle's emission systems are ready for inspection.
- Vehicle Information: Retrieve vehicle identification number (VIN), calibration ID, and calibration verification number (CVN).
- Data Flow/Real-time Curve: Monitor live sensor data in numerical or graphical format, including vehicle speed, calculated load value, engine coolant temperature, and engine RPM.
- DTC Lookup Library: Use the built-in library to understand the meaning of generic and manufacturer-specific fault codes.

- Keep battery terminals clean and free of corrosion.
- For vehicles stored for extended periods, use the maintainer function to keep the battery optimally charged.
6.3. OBD2 Scanner Care
- Keep the scanner's screen and buttons clean. Use a soft, dry cloth.
- Avoid dropping the scanner or exposing it to extreme temperatures.
7. Troubleshooting
7.1. Charger/Maintainer Issues
- Charger not turning on: Ensure the AC power cord is securely plugged into a live outlet. Check for tripped circuit breakers.
- Charger not indicating 'Charging': Verify that the battery clips/terminals are correctly connected to the battery terminals (RED to +, BLACK to -). The battery might be fully charged already.
- Charger not reaching 'Charged' status: The battery may be deeply discharged or faulty. Allow more time for charging or have the battery tested by a professional.
7.2. OBD2 Scanner Issues
- Scanner not powering on: Ensure the scanner is securely connected to the vehicle's OBD2 port. Check the vehicle's battery voltage.
- Communication error: Verify the vehicle's ignition is ON. Check for loose connections. Try the scanner on another vehicle to rule out a scanner fault.
- No codes found: The Check Engine Light may not be on, or the issue might not be emissions-related.
