section at the front of this manual.
4. When the unit is properly connected and charging, the battery
charging LED will light yellow to indicate the battery is charging.
NOTES:
A. If the Charging LED did not come on, check the connection to
the battery. If the clamps are properly connected, the battery
may be in fault condition. Manufacturer suggests to have the
battery tested by a qualified battery service technician.
B. If the clamps are incorrectly connected with regard to polarity,
the Fault LED will light. Unplug the charger; then remove the
clamps. Reconnect the clamps properly.
5. When the Full LED lights green, the battery is fully charged.
When the battery is completely charged, the unit automatically goes into

is connected to the battery and plugged into a functioning AC outlet.
When disconnecting charger, disconnect AC cord, remove clamp from
vehicle chassis, and then remove clamp from battery terminal.
