Cord, and then disconnect the battery charger from the battery (or
batteries) following the last step of the appropriate set of directions
in the "Preparing to Charge" section of this Instruction Manual.
Notes Concerning the Alternator Check Function:
A. IMPORTANT: This check may not be accurate for every make,
manufacturer and model of vehicle. Check only 12 volt systems.
B. The unit may detect that the alternator is out of typical
voltage range because someone has added a number of
accessory loads on the charging system, thereby increasing
current demand from the alternator. MAKE SURE THAT THE
ALTERNATOR IS RATED TO SUPPORT THE APPLICATION.
C. Press and hold the Single/Multi-Bank Selection Button for one
second to toggle to view a different charging Bank in the Multi-
Bank mode.
D. Press the Single/Multi-Bank Selection Button to switch the unit
to either the Single-Bank or Multi-Bank mode.
