10. WARNING - RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES
a) WORKING IN VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID BATTERY IS DANGEROUS. BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE
GASES DURING NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION. FOR THIS REASON, IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE
THAT EACH TIME BEFORE USING YOUR CHARGER, YOU READ THIS MANUAL AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY.
b) To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by battery manufacturer and
manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in vicinity of battery. Review cautionary marking on these
products and on engine.
11. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
a) Someone should be within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid when you work near a lead-
acid battery.
b) Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
c) Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while working near battery.
d) If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters eye, immediately
flood eye with running cold water for at least 10 minutes and get medical attention immediately.
e) NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine.
f) Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto battery. It might spark or short-circuit battery or
other electrical part that may cause explosion.
g) Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with a lead-acid
battery. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal,
causing a severe burn
h) Use charger for charging a LEAD-ACID battery only. It is not intended to supply power to a low voltage electrical
system other than in a starter-motor application. Do not use battery charger for charging dry-cell batteries that
are commonly used with home appliances. These batteries may burst and cause injury to persons and damage
to property.
i) NEVER charge a frozen battery.
12. PREPARING TO CHARGE
a) If necessary to remove battery from vehicle to charge, always remove grounded terminal from battery first. Make
sure all accessories in the vehicle are off, so as not to cause an arc.
b) Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while battery is being charged. Gas can be forcefully blown away
by using a piece of cardboard or other nonmetallic material as a fan.
c) Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact with eyes.
d) Add distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches level specified by battery manufacturer. This helps purge
excessive gas from cells. Do not overfill. For a battery without cell caps, carefully follow manufacturer’s rechar-
ging instructions
e) Study all battery manufacturer’s specific precautions such as removing or not removing cell caps while charging
and recommended rates of charge.
I
ud_fr_ls_sv_01086 042006
f) Determine voltage of battery by referring to car owner’s manual and make sure it matches output rating of battery
charger.
13. CHARGER LOCATION
a) Locate charger as far away from battery as do cables permit.
b) Never place charger directly above battery being charged; gases from battery will corrode and damage charger
c) Never allow battery acid to drip on charger when reading gravity or filling battery
d) Do not operate charger in a closed-in area or restrict ventilation in any way.
e) Do not set a battery on top of charger.
14. DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS
a) Connect and disconnect dc output clips only after setting any charger switches to off position and removing ac
cord from electric outlet. Never allow clips to touch each other.
b) Attach clips to battery and chassis as indicated in 15(e), 15(f), 16(b), and 16(d).
c) Attach clips to battery posts and twist or rock back and forth several times to make a good connection. This tends
to keep clips from slipping off terminals and helps to reduce risk of sparking.
15. FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN VEHICLE. A SPARK NEAR BATTERY MAY CAUSE
BATTERY EXPLOSION TO REDUCE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR BATTERY
a) Position ac and dc cords to reduce risk of damage by hood, door, or moving engine part.
b) Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other parts that can cause injury to persons.
c) Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually has larger diameter than NEGATIVE
(NEG, N, -) post.
d) Determine which post of battery is grounded (connected) to the chassis. If negative post is grounded to chassis
(as in most vehicles), see (e). If positive post is grounded to the chassis, see (f).
e) For negative-grounded vehicle, connect POSITIVE (RED) clip from battery charger to POSITIVE (POS, P, +)
ungrounded post of battery. Connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip to vehicle chassis or engine block away from
battery. Do not connect clip to carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gage metal
part of the frame or engine block.
f) For positive-grounded vehicle, connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip from battery charger to NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -)
ungrounded post of battery. Connect POSITIVE (RED) clip to vehicle chassis or engine block away from battery.
Do not connect clip to carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gage metal part of the
frame or engine block.
g) When disconnecting charger, turn switches to off, disconnect AC cord, remove clip from vehicle chassis, and
then remove clip from battery terminal
h) See operating instructions for length of charge information
16. FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS OUTSIDE VEHICLE. A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE
BATTERY EXPLOSION TO REDUCE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR BATTERY:
a) Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually has a larger diameter than NEGATIVE
(NEG, N, -) post.
b) Attach at least a 24-inch-long 6-gauge (AWG) insulated battery cable to NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) battery post.
c) Connect POSITIVE (RED) charger clip to POSITIVE (POS, P, +) post of battery.
d) Position yourself and free end of cable as far away from battery as possible - then connect NEGATIVE (BLACK)
charger clip to free end of cable.
e) Do not face battery when making final connection.
f) When disconnecting charger, always do so in reverse sequence of connecting procedure and break first connec-
tion while as far away from battery as practical.
g) A marine (boat) battery must be removed and charged on shore. To charge it on board requires equipment
specially designed for marine use.
17. GROUNDING AND AC POWER CORD CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS – Charger should be grounded to reduce
risk of electric shock. Charger is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with

- trickle mode (to charge the battery when consumers in the vehicle are switched on)
User charging:
User charging is an additional charging mode in which charging parameters for the
device can be specified individually. The parameters for user charging mode are preset
in the factory for standby applications (e.g. emergency power systems) or for ambient
temperatures > 35° C (95° F).

CAUTION! Danger of damage to the in-car electronics by refresh charging.
Before beginning refresh charging, disconnect battery from vehicle power
supply.
Refresh charging
mode
Refresh charging mode is used to charge the battery if it is suspected that the battery
has been deeply discharged over a long period (e.g. battery sulphated)
- battery is charged to maximum acid concentration
- plates are reactivated (degradation of sulphate layer)
Important! The success of refresh charging depends on the degree of sulphation of the
battery.
NOTE! refresh charging may only be used when:
- the battery capacity has been correctly set
- refresh charging takes place in a well-ventilated area
„Flash operation“
mode
Charge acceptance test mode
The „flash operation“ mode is to ensure consumers have a power supply
- when there is increased power consumption (e.g. updating firmware/software for the
vehicle’s electronics)
- in back-up mode, to supply power to the on-board electronic systems while the
battery is being changed
(to avoid losing settings such as time, radio settings, etc.)
Charge acceptance test mode is used to test a battery’s ability to accept a charge. The
test takes place as follows:
- the automatic charge acceptance test takes only a few minutes
- the charge acceptance test is ended after a predefined period has elapsed
- if the result is positive, the device will switch automatically to standard charging
mode and charge the battery
- if the result is negative, „Test Fail“ appears on the charger’s screen and charging of
the battery is halted.

CAUTION! Risk of damage when attempting to charge a faulty battery.
Before charging, ensure that the battery to be charged is fully functional.
CAUTION! When refresh charging is selected.
Refresh charging may damage the on-board electronics. Before beginning
refresh charging, disconnect battery from vehicle power supply.
