Operating Instructions
Reverse Polarity Alarm: When battery clamps are connected in reverse polarity, an audible alarm (continuous beep) will sound, and the LCD screen will display the Reverse Polarity Indicator icon. Do not activate the unit. If this occurs, carefully disconnect the clamps and re-connect with the proper polarity. Ensure that the grounded clamp has a firm and clean connection.
Battery Charge: Once clamps are correctly connected, press to start charging. NOTE: This unit is a high-frequency smart charger. It will need to sense baseline voltage in your battery to engage charging mode. If it does not sense sufficient voltage, it will enter reconditioning mode.
Engine Start: This unit is equipped with an Engine Start function that delivers concentrated, high amperage charging for a 40-second period to start your vehicle. This is NOT a jump-starting function. After engaging, the unit will display a timer. Once the timer has elapsed, you may try to start your vehicle.
Alternator Check: Press to engage the alternator check process, which is designed to determine the functionality of your vehicle's internal electrical system. Please consult the Instruction Manual for full details on how to complete this process.
Battery Recondition: Press to engage a 24-hour battery reconditioning cycle. This cycle will subject your battery to intermittent high-frequency pulses to reduce the effects of corrosion and recondition your battery. This is NOT guaranteed to ensure charging. If your battery does not charge after one reconditioning cycle, discontinue charging.
