PERSONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS


Wear complete eye protection and protective clothing when working near lead-acid batteries. Always have someone
nearby for help.

Have plenty of fresh water, soap and baking soda nearby for use, in case battery acid contacts your eyes, skin, or
clothing. Wash immediately with soap and water and seek medical attention.

If battery acid comes in contact with eyes, flush eyes immediately for a minimum 10 minutes and get medical
attention.

Neutralize any acid spills thoroughly with baking soda before attempting to clean up.

Remove all personal metal items from your body, such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches. A battery can
produce a short circuit current high enough to weld a ring to metal, causing a severe burn.

Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery or engine.

Use the memory saver detector cable 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: 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 the power source used is greater than or equal to 12VDC. If using a portable battery device, make sure
it is fully charged.
2. Turn off the vehicle, remove the key, and make sure all accessories are off.
WARNING: Verify all vehicle accessories are OFF (fan, interior lights, etc.). Headlights must be in OFF position, not AUTO
position. To prevent overloading of a vehicle fuse, OBD-L fuse or other vehicle damage, do not use the memory saver
through the OBDII port if the vehicle's current draw is 4 amps or more when the vehicle is in a KEY OFF condition (use an
amp clamp to measure the amperage draw). If unable to measure the vehicle's current draw, turn the vehicle's key to the
