Maintain Mode
When the CHARGED (green) LED is lit, the charger has started Maintain
Mode. In this mode, the charger keeps the battery fully charged by deliver-
ing a small current when necessary. The voltage is maintained at a level
determined by the BATTERY TYPE selected
Flash Reprogramming
NOTE: Do not attempt to Flash Reprogram a vehicle that has a dis-
charged or defective battery. Make sure that the vehicle battery is in good
condition and fully charged before proceeding.
1. Set MODE to FLASH REPROGRAM. (The VOLTS LED will start
blinking.)
2. Use "UP" and "DOWN" (
age needed for the vehicle being programmed (refer to OEM specifica-
tions). Voltage selected is shown on the digital display. The unit has a
voltage range of 13 to 14.8, with a default of 14.2.
NOTE: When the VOLTS LED stops blinking, the display shows the
selected voltage.
3. Press Start/Stop (
4. When finished with Flash Reprogramming, press Start/Stop (
ton to exit this mode.
Using the Battery Voltage Tester
Overview
This battery charger has a built-in voltmeter to measure your battery's
voltage. The charger does not have a built in load tester. As such, a
recently charged battery could have a temporarily high voltage due to
what is known as "surface charge". The voltage of such a battery will
gradually drop during the period immediately after the charging system is
disengaged. Consequently, the tester could display inconsistent values for
such a battery. For a more accurate reading, the surface charge should be
removed by temporarily creating a load on the battery, such as by turning
on lights or other accessories for a couple of minutes before you read the
display. Read it a couple of minutes after you have shut the headlights off.
Testing Sequence: There are seven basic steps required to test the bat-
tery state of charge:
NOTE: The unit cannot be charging to test the battery voltage.
1.
With the charger unplugged from the AC outlet, connect the charger to
the battery following the instructions given in Sections 6 and 7.
2. Plug the charger AC power cord into the AC outlet.
3. The CONNECTED (yellow) LED will light if a properly connected bat-
tery is detected.
4. Confirm the CHARGING (yellow) LED is off.
5. Set the DISPLAY to VOLTS.
