BATTERY TEST
SELECTING A LANGUAGE
Press and hold down both ARROW buttons while connecting to a
battery. Scroll to the desired language, then press ENTER to select.
PRIOR TO TESTING
If testing out-of-vehicle
• Clean battery terminals with a wire brush before testing.
• For group 31 or side-terminal batteries, install and tighten the lead
terminal adapters provided with this analyzer. Do not use steel
bolts. Failure to properly install terminal adapters, or using
terminal adapters that are dirty or worn may result in false test
results.
If testing in-vehicle
• The preferred test position is at the battery terminals. If the battery is
not accessible, you may test at the jumper post, however the avail-
able power value could be lower than actual. If you get a REPLACE
BATTERY result, retest at the battery terminals before replacing the
battery.
• At the beginning of a test sequence, make sure all vehicle accessory
loads are off and the ignition is in the off position.
CONNECTING THE ANALYZER
• Connect red clamp to positive (+) terminal.
• Connect black clamp to negative (–) terminal.
• To ensure a proper connection, rock the clamps back and forth. The
analyzer requires both sides of the clamp to be firmly connected prior
to testing. A poor connection will prevent testing and a CHECK
CONNECTION message will appear. If this occurs, clean the termi-
nals and reconnect.
CAUTION: Because of the possibility of personal injury,
always use extreme caution when working with batter-
ies. Follow all BCI (Battery Council International) safety
recommendations.
