IMPORTANT: Selecting 7.35V or 7.65V (for 6V batteries) or 14.7V or

damage will result, and the output will remain disabled until the
connections are corrected.
VOLTAGE SAFETY CHECK:
6V (#1a) flashing: a battery with voltage exceeding 8V is connected /
battery may be 12V.
12V (#1b) flashing: a battery with voltage below 8V is connected;
battery may be 6V or it may be a deep discharged 12V battery.
Action: Physically check battery. If nominal voltage is 6V, disconnect
