starting the car. Select In-Car operation on the rear of the VL-MR4. Connect DC Cable.
Locate the unit in a suitable position, maybe on the floor passenger’s side?
Please note that when powering the VL-MR4 from the vehicles cigar socket that some cars allow
you to draw power whilst the car has not been started, others only supply an output voltage after
the car has been started!
If during charge the supply voltage falls to 11.5volts the VL-MR4 will flash the chargers Red LED
to indicate low voltage, where possible the VL-MR4 will complete charging the current battery
being charged. In this mode the charger will not continue to charge any more batteries until the
supply voltage has re-covered to a usable level.
