BEFORE THE TEST

Testing Out-of-Vehicle

Clean the battery terminals with a wire brush before testing.
For Group 31 or side-terminal batteries, install and tighten the lead
terminal adapters provided with the analyzer.
IMPORTANT: Do not use steel bolts. Failure to properly
install terminal adapters, or using adapters that are dirty or
worn, may cause false test results.

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 available
power value could be lower than the actual value. If you get a RETEST
AT BATTERY POSTS result, disconnect the analyzer and retest at the
posts. If testing a side-post battery, the analyzer may display instructions
to CHECK FOR CORROSION, DISCONNECT & RETEST WITH
ADAPTERS. Follow the instructions before discarding the battery.
At the start of the test, make sure all vehicle accessory loads are off and
the ignition is in the off position.

CONNECTING THE ANALYZER

IMPORTANT: When you start a new test (outside of QC
mode) by connecting to the battery, the last test results in
memory will be lost.
1. Connect the red clamp to the positive (+) terminal.
2. Connect the black clamp to the negative (–) terminal.
3. For a proper connection, rock the clamps back and forth. The
analyzer requires that both sides of each clamp be firmly connected
before testing. A poor connection will prevent testing and produce a
CHECK CONNECTION (BLACK or RED CLAMP) message. If the
message appears, clean the terminals and reconnect the clamps.
NOTE: Batteries connected in parallel must have the ground
cable disconnected or false test readings may result.
