Hazards, Connecting and first use
Troubleshooting
If the device does not function, check the following points:
1. Is the power socket working properly and supplying
electrical power?
2. Is the connected battery faulty or deeply discharged?
3. Is the charger connected to the battery at the correct
terminals?
To avoid damage to the battery, it is essential to ensure that
it is never deeply discharged.
Hazard instructions
Risk of connecting to the wrong terminals, short-circuit, and
contact with battery acid – it is essential to observe the safety
warnings from the battery manufacturer. Warning! Battery
acid is highly corrosive. Splashes of acid on your skin or clothing
must be removed immediately with soapy water and then
rinsed with plenty of water. If acid splashes get into your eyes,
flush immediately with a lot of water and see a doctor without
delay.
Connecting to the battery
If the battery is charged while fitted in the vehicle, you must
make sure that all the vehicle's electrically powered equipment,
such as the ignition, radio, light, mobile phone and mobile
phone charger are switched off. It may be necessary to remove
or disconnect the battery. It is essential to observe the warning
instructions from the manufacturer of the battery and vehicle.
Connecting the charger to a battery that is mounted
in the vehicle:
1. Never connect or disconnect the battery cables while the
charger is connected to the power supply.
2. Find out which terminal is connected to "ground" (i.e.

the chassis). As a rule, it is the negative terminal that is
grounded.
In that case, connect the red cable to the positive terminal of
the battery, and the black cable to the vehicle chassis. Make
sure that the black cable does not come close to the battery
and that it is not connected to the fuel line.
Connecting the charger to a battery that is not mounted
in the vehicle:
1. The charger must always be unplugged at the power socket
before connecting or disconnecting the battery cables.
2. Connect the red cable to the positive terminal of the battery,
and the black cable to the negative terminal.
Starting charging
When you have made sure that the correct current has been
selected and the charging clips are correctly attached, you
can start charging. Now connect the charger to the power
supply (green "Mains" (Netz) LED lights up). Within 5 seconds
of connecting to the power supply, press the "MODE" button
in order to set the charging current (car or motorcycle battery).
The symbol with an "exclamation mark in a triangle" activates
the special charging mode for LiPo and Li-ion starter batteries.
If the "MODE" button is not pressed for a period of 3 seconds,
the charging process will automatically start.
If the battery cables are wrongly connected, a protective
circuit will prevent damage to the charger or battery. In that
case the "Wrong polarity" (Verpolt) LED will light up, and the
error message "Err 001" will be shown on the display.
If this happens, start again at Number 1.
Charging can be interrupted at any time. The charger must
