the battery for 5 minutes before cranking
the engine.
6. Wait three minutes before attempting
to start again. The digital display will
indicate the time remaining before
cranking again.
NOTE: During this cool down period,
the charger is supplying the battery
with a charge of up to 15A.

the starting system; there is a problem
somewhere else with the vehicle. STOP
cranking the engine until the other problem
has been diagnosed and corrected.
FLASH REPROGRAMMING
NOTE: Do not attempt to Flash Reprogram
a vehicle that has a discharged or
defective battery. Make sure that the
vehicle battery is in good condition and
FULLY CHARGED before proceeding.
The charger is designed to supply up to
100A in "Flash Reprogram" mode.
Some newer vehicles may require more
than 100A while flash reprogramming the
ECU. Consult the vehicle manufacturer's
specifications to determine the required
amperage. The charger's "Flash
Reprogram" mode cannot be used on
vehicles that require more than 100A,
or damage to the ECU and/or vehicle's
electrical system may occur. Failure to
follow these instructions may also damage
the service center's flash reprogram
equipment.
1. Set the mode to Flash.
2. Use (Up) and
to adjust the voltage needed for the
vehicle being programmed (refer to
OEM specifications). Voltage selected
is shown on the digital display. The
unit has a voltage range of 13.0 to
15.0, with a default of 14.2.
NOTE: When the
blinking, the display shows the selected
voltage.
3. Press START/STOP to activate the
output.
NOTE: During this time, the other buttons
will not work until you turn off the output.
When the display shows OFF, no buttons will
work for five seconds; then it automatically
goes back to the default state.

USING A MEMORY SAVER
Use a memory saver to save the vehicle's
on-board diagnostic computer settings (radio
programs, diagnostic codes, etc.) while the
battery is disconnected from the vehicle
during repair or maintenance.
NOTE: The 12V port is rated at 15A; the
provided OBDII cable has an 8A fuse.
IMPORTANT!
Some vehicle manufacturers do not allow
the use of a memory saver through the
OBDII. Consult the vehicle manufacturer
before use, to determine if a memory
saver is acceptable for use on the vehicle.
1. Make sure that Charge/Boost/Engine
Start are off. Do not operate or crank
when using a memory saver. Do not
charge a battery when operating the
memory saver
2. Turn off the vehicle and make sure all
accessories are off.
3. Wait at least 30 minutes before using
the memory saver. This ensures that
the accessories are no longer drawing
current from the car battery.
4. Connect the memory saver's 12V
connector to 12V port on the charger.
