OFF - ON SWITCH
Make sure On/Off switch is in the Off position when connecting
and disconnecting charger to battery.
AUTOMATIC CHARGING
When the battery reaches the full charge state, charge current is
turned off and the charger switches to the maintainer mode of op-
eration. This action occurs when the charge tapers down to ap-
proximately 5 Amps. In this state the battery voltage is constantly
being monitored. When the battery voltage drops to a predeter-
mined value charge will turn on for a few seconds replacing the
small amount of energy that was lost while the charge current was
at 0 Amps.
POWER ON INDICATOR
The Power On LED Indicator will glow green when the unit is
turned ON and it is plugged into 120 Volt electrical outlet. Charg-
ing begins once clamps are connected to the battery.
CHARGE COMPLETE INDICATOR
When the battery reaches the full charged state, the right LED
indicator light will glow green.
NOTE: As the battery approaches the full charge state the LED
will fluctuate on and off between CHARGING and CHARGED. For
the average size automotive battery, allow 5 to 10 minutes for the
battery to stabilize.
REVERSED CONNECTION INDICATOR
If clamps are attached incorrectly to the battery posts, example:
negative to positive or positive to negative, the right LED will glow
red. When connected properly, no LED will glow.
