Charge Type:
•Use the MANUAL setting only if you check the charging progress frequently. The charger will not stop charging when the battery reaches full charge, possibly damaging the battery if left on too long. You must monitor and unplug the charger when battery is fully charged.
•Use the AUTOMATIC DEEP CYCLE setting for all deep cycle battery charging. The charger will automatically stop charging when the battery reaches full charge and begin charging again when battery requires.
•Use the AUTOMATIC REGULAR setting for all but deep cycle batteries. The charger will automatically stop charging when the battery reaches full charge and begin charging again when battery requires.
•A severely discharged battery may not have enough charge to start the control circuit in an AUTOMATIC setting. In this case, charge on MANUAL until the battery has enough charge to accept an AUTOMATIC setting.

Charge Rate:
•Use the 2 AMP charge rate setting for charging small batteries and warming large batteries.The lower the charge rate, the longer it will take to charge the battery.
•Use the 12 AMP rate setting for automotive, deep cycle and other large batteries.
•Use the 75 AMP ENGINE START setting only to assist in cranking the engine.

AMMETER:
The ammeter indicates the measured amount of amperes being drawn by the battery. When you first start charging a battery, the reading will be high, with the needle near 12 using the 12 amp charging rate.
•In the MANUAL setting, as the battery charges, the needle will fall to about 5 to 6 amps, indicating a charged battery.
•In both AUTOMATIC settings, the needle will fall to zero and the charger will shut off when the charger’s control circuit senses a full charge. A freshly charged battery’s voltage will drop shortly after charging stops, and the charger, if left con- nected, may resume charging. This
•At the 2 amp charging rate you will notice very little needle movement.
When cranking the engine while using the ENGINE START feature, the needle will swing into the Start (red) area of the scale.
LED INDICATOR:
The green LED INDICATOR will glow when the charger senses that the battery has reached a full charge.
•When using the MANUAL charge rate, stop charging when the LED glows and the AMMETER needle is about 5 to 6 amps in the 12 Amp setting.
