If you do not set a time, the charger will run for the maximum time. After selecting the charge rate and proper time, the charger will start charging after a short delay. To see how much time remains during the charging process, touch the TIME pad.

RESET: To stop charging or to change settings once charging has begun, touch the RESET pad. Then proceed as if you’ve just turned on the charger.

VOLT/AMP: When the charger is turned on the METER will display battery voltage. Touch the VOLTS/AMPS pad to display the charge rate in amps.

TESTER: To check the battery’s state-of-charge during charging, touch the RESET pad and then the TESTER pad. The METER will show the voltage of the battery. Wait about 5 minutes before taking a reading. To continue charging, proceed as if you’ve just turned the charger ON.

ENGINE START: To use the starter feature to help crank the engine of your vehicle, touch RESET, MANUAL, and ENGINE START - in that order. Wait for the display to show RDY. The ENGINE START feature will deliver 275 amps to help crank a 12-volt system or 125 amps to help crank a 6-volt system. Crank the engine for no more than 5 seconds. If it does not start, wait three minutes before cranking again. During extremely cold weather, or if the battery is severely exhausted, charge the battery for about 5 minutes in the 60 AMP setting before cranking the engine.

CAUTION: DO NOT try to crank an engine without a battery installed. You may damage the vehicle’s electrical system.
