If the battery reaches full charge prior to the timer expiring, press START to end the charging process.
Once the timer expires, the charger will immediately stop charging and enter idle mode. An example of the display
message in this situation is below.
Manual Charge
Voltage: 12.8 Volts
CHARGING STOPPED
After charging is complete, turn off the Master Power Switch and unplug the charger from the AC power source.
Then, disconnect the charger clamp not connected directly to the battery first and DO NOT allow the clamp
to touch anything. Then, disconnect the charger clamp attached to the battery terminal. (See Connecting To
Batteries... at the beginning of this section.)

Boost Mode Sequence

Your battery charger can provide a high current output to help start a vehicle with a weak battery. However, the
electronics in some vehicles can be damaged when attempting to jump start. ALWAYS READ THE VEHICLE
OPERATOR'S MANUAL BEFORE AUXILLIARY STARTING to determine if jump starting can do damage to the
vehicle. If not, read and follow these instructions.
First, connect the charger to the vehicle (see previous section, Connecting to Batteries...). Once a proper connection
has been made, plug the unit into an AC outlet and turn the Master Power Switch to the ON position. It is
recommended to charge the battery for 5 to 10 minutes, remembering to always follow the recommended values
for charging rate and battery type found in the Controls and Indicators section of this manual for each battery to be
charged. Charge according to the steps identified in the Auto Charging Sequence section of this manual. After 10
minutes, press START to stop charging and enter idle mode.
Press the Function Selection button until the LED corresponding to "BOOST MODE" is lit.
Once you have chosen "BOOST MODE" Function Selection, the charger will enter Boost Mode. Upon entering this
mode, the only operator-defined parameter is Operating Voltage. Use the TOGGLE and SELECT buttons to identify
the voltage that matches the vehicle's operating voltage – available only in 6V and 12V operation voltages.
BOOST MODE

Press START
Start Vehicle
Press START to activate Boost Mode. Because Boost Mode can provide excessive current to the battery, it is
active for 2 minutes from the time START is pressed. After 2 minutes, the charger will return to idle mode.
Below is an example of the display in Boost Mode.

CAUTION: Do not try to boost start a vehicle that
12V
does not contain a battery or you may damage
electrical systems in the vehicle.
