e. If you are not going to need the MKS400 right away you may
leave the MKS400'S internal charger connected to the AC

the MKS400 is not in use.
2. USING THE DC POWER EXTENSION CORD. Plug one end of
the DC power extension cord into the MKS400's power receptacle
and the other end into a vehicle's lighter outlet (the vehicle's
engine should be running first). Push the test button once every

USED AS AN ALTERNATIVE POWER SUPPLY
FOR VEHICLES
The MKS400 is an essential tool for all who replace automobile
batteries. Most vehicles have some type of electronic component
with memory, such as alarm systems, computers, radios, phones,
etc... and when the vehicle's battery is replaced, memory is lost.
However, if the cigar lighter power extension cord is plugged from
the MKS400 into the vehicle's cigar lighter socket, the memories can
be saved.
Note: Some vehicles may require the MKS400 to be connected to
the vehicle's OBD2 connector to save all memory functions. The
MS6209 memory saver may be purchased separately for these
applications.
MULTI PURPOSE POWER SUPPLY
The MKS400 is also a portable power supply for all 12 VDC
accessories equipped with a male cigar lighter plug or USB
connector. The DC outlet and USB port have automatic overload
protection.
To use the USB port, press and hold the Status button for 5
seconds, the display will flash "USB". To turn off the USB press and
hold the Status button for another 5 seconds, the display will flash
"USB OFF".
For maximum battery life do not discharge below 11V.
When the MKS400 is used with an inverter, it can operate
appliances normally powered by 120 VAC or 220 VAC in Europe.
Recommended inverter for the MKS400 is 300 watts maximum. For
more information contact your nearest MKS400 dealer.
