This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. This limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

•Increase the separation between equipment and receiver.

Stage One — Rapid Start Charge at 10 amps delivers maximum charging amperage to “wake up” any serviceable 12 volt battery and allows for quick engine starting in just 5 minutes (based on a midsize vehicle battery at 50% charge level). When battery reaches a maximum safe predetermined voltage, the charger will automatically signal a "beep" and move into Stage 2 of the charging process.

Stage Two — Absorption Charge maintains the maximum possible charge at a constant, safe, predetermined voltage. During this phase, the charging voltage remains constant, while the actual charging current is reduced to allow for the maximum proper internal chemical energy transfer. At the end of Stage 2, the charger will automatically move into Stage 3 charge mode.
