DIGITAL DISPLAY BUTTON

Use this button to set the function of the digital display to one of the following.

•BATTERY %: The digital display shows an estimate of the percent of charge of the battery connected to the charger battery clamps.

•VOLTAGE: The digital display shows the voltage at the charger battery clamps in DC volts.

•ALTERNATOR %: The digital display shows an estimated percentage of the output of the vehicle charging system connected to the charger battery clamps as compared to a properly functioning system.

BATTERY TYPE BUTTON

Use this button to set the type of battery to be charged to one of the following.

•12V REGULAR: This is the type of battery usually used in cars, trucks, and motorcycles. These batteries have vent caps and are often marked “low maintenance” or “maintenance-free”.

•12V DEEP CYCLE: Deep cycle batter- ies are usually marked as “deep cycle” or “marine”. Deep cycle batteries are usually larger than the other types.

•12V AGM/GEL: AGM and gel cell bat- teries have sealed cases without vent caps. Such batteries are often smaller than the other types.

•6V REGULAR: This is the type of bat- tery usually used in antique and some specialized vehicles. The 6V REGULAR battery type is not selectable for batteries greater than 8.5V DC.

With the exception of AGM and gel cell batteries, all other battery types may or may not have vent caps. Vent caps are located on top of the battery and provide a means to add distilled water when needed. Batteries should be marked with their type. If charging a battery that is not marked, check the manual of the item that uses the battery. If the battery type is unknown, use the 12V Regular setting. Make sure the battery complies with the safety instructions on page 2.

CHARGE START BUTTON

Use this button to set the maximum charge rate to one of the following.

•SMALL BATTERY: Provides 2A for charging small batteries such as those commonly used in garden tractors, snow mobiles and motorcycles. The 2A rate is not intended to be used as a trickle charger for larger batteries.

•regular battery: Automatically switches between 15 and 40 amps, or provides 15 amps continuous depend- ing on the battery. Use for charging automotive batteries, marine batteries, and deep cycle batteries. Not intended for industrial applications.

•engine start: Provides 125 amps for cranking an engine with a weak or run down battery.Always use in combination with a battery.

•off: Charger returns to tester mode and the SMALL BATTERY, REGULAR BATTERY and ENGINE START LEDs all stay OFF.
