TROUBLESHOOTING
TROUBLESHOOTING:
If the screen shows 'HI':
Voltage of the tested battery is over 15.00V & too high for 12V battery. bT2101 won't work under this situation. Please re-check if the tested battery is 12Volts.
Voltage of the tested battery is under 1.5 Volts. bT2101 won't work under this situation. Please recharge the battery & retest. If reading is the same, the
battery should be replaced immediately.
If the screen shows blank:
The voltage of the tested battery is too low to serve the bT2101. Please recharge the battery and retest. If reading is the same, the battery should be replaced
immediately. Or the clamps are connected to incorrect polarity. Please check & re-connect (red clamp to the positive (+) battery terminal and the black clamp
to the negative (-) terminal).
The screen flickers or shows ---- :
The voltage is unstable. A just completely charged battery or other factors can cause the battery's voltage to be unstable, the lED display shows "-----".
Please wait for 15-30 minutes to let the battery voltage stabilize & test the battery or eliminate the factors to test the battery.
