1. Ensure the vehicle battery is in a full state before beginning.
2. Connect the EM365 output terminals to the vehicle battery terminals: red clamp to positive (+), black clamp to negative (-).
3. On the EM365 display, navigate to 'Programming Power Mode' using the Left (E) and Right (D) buttons, then press OK (C).
4. Select the desired voltage range, typically between 10.8V and 16V, as required by the vehicle's ECU programming specifications. Use the Left (E) and Right (D) buttons to adjust, and OK (C) to confirm.
5. Once the voltage is set, proceed with the ECU programming or decoding process using your diagnostic tool.
6. After programming, press the Stop (G) button and disconnect the clamps.

4.2. Fast Charging Mode

This mode allows for efficient and safe charging of various battery types. The device automatically adjusts charging voltage and current and stops when the battery is fully charged to prevent overcharging.

1. Connect the EM365 output terminals to the vehicle battery terminals: red clamp to positive (+), black clamp to negative (-).
2. On the EM365 display, navigate to 'Fast Charging Mode' and press OK (C).
3. Select the correct battery type (e.g., Standard Lead-acid, AGM Flat Plate, AGM Spiral, GEL, EFB) from the options. This ensures the device applies the appropriate charging profile.
4. The device will begin the multi-stage smart charging process, automatically adjusting current and voltage. The display will show charging progress.
5. Once charging is complete, the device will automatically stop. Disconnect the clamps.

4.3. Vehicle Jump Start Mode

When the vehicle battery is too low to start the engine, this mode provides a high current boost to assist in starting.

Image 4.3.1: Steps for connecting the EM365 for a powerful emergency start.

1. Ensure the vehicle's ignition is off and all accessories are turned off.
2. Connect the EM365 output terminals to the vehicle battery terminals: red clamp to positive (+), black clamp to negative (-).
3. On the EM365 display, navigate to 'Vehicle Jump Start Mode' and press OK (C).
4. The device will prepare to deliver approximately 400A of current.
5. Attempt to start the vehicle. If the vehicle does not start immediately, wait a few minutes before trying again to allow the EM365 to recover.
6. Once the vehicle starts, immediately disconnect the EM365 clamps, starting with the negative (-) clamp.

4.4. Battery Restoration Function

This function uses advanced pulse restoration technology to help repair batteries that have been deeply discharged or have been idle for extended periods, potentially extending their lifespan.
