Using in Car: Battery Protection
The product features a three-level battery protection function to ensure normal operation and protect the vehicle's battery. When the product is powered on, long-press the SET button for 3 seconds. The display screen will flash 'H'. Select low voltage protection level by clicking the SET button: L (Low), M (Medium), or H (High). The factory default is H (High) protection.
Set H when the product is connected to car power. Set M or L when connected to a portable battery or other back-up battery. Due to varying vehicle output voltages, the battery protection level can be adjusted from H to M or M to L if a voltage protection code F1 is shown on the panel. Set the battery protection to H if the product needs to continue working after the car engine is turned off, to prevent battery drain.
