DISPLAY MODE SWITCH
Use this switch to set the function of the digital meter to one of the following:
•BATTERY %: The digital meter displays an estimate of the percent of charge of the battery connected to the charger battery clamps.
•VOLTAGE: The digital meter displays the voltage at the charger battery clamps in DC volts.
CHARGE RATE SWITCH
Use this switch button to set the charge rate to one of the following three.
•2A CHARGE RATE: Intended for charging small batteries such as those commonly used in garden tractors, snow mobiles and motor- cycles. The 2A rate is not intended to be used as a trickle charger for larger batteries.
•10A or 15A CHARGE RATE: Use for charging automotive batteries, marine batteries, and deep cycle batteries.
Not intended for industrial applica- tions.
BATTERY TYPE SWITCH
Use this switch button to set the type of battery to be charged to one of the following three.
•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
•DEEP CYCLE: Deep cycle batteries are usually marked as “deep cycle” or “marine”. Deep cycle batteries are usually larger than the other types.
•AGM, GEL CELL: AGM and gel cell batteries have sealed cases without vent caps. Such batteries are often smaller than the other types.
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 REGULAR setting. Make sure the battery complies with the safety instructions on page 3.
