TESTING A BATTERY
Set the battery selector (C) to the
type of battery you are testing.
IMPORTANT: If the battery selector
(C) is incorrectly positioned, an
inaccurate test will result and
may damage the tester and cause
excessive drain on the battery.
Touch the red test lead (A) to the
positive (+) terminal on the battery,
and the black test lead (B) to the ne
gative (–) terminal on the battery.
Observe the battery condition on the
indicator scale (D) as indicated by
the needle.
When testing 9-volt rectangular
batteries, position the positive (+)
and negative (–) battery terminals
directly onto the positive and
negative contact points (F and G).
Then observe the battery condition
on the indicator scale (D).

ALTERNATE TESTING METHODS
Depending on the battery type, it may
be easier to use the positive and
negative contact points (F and G) on
the tester instead of touching both
test leads to the positive and negative
terminals on a battery.
Position the positive (+) terminal of the
battery on the positive contact point (F).
Then touch the black test lead (B) to the
negative (–) terminal of the battery and
observe the battery condition on the
indicator scale (D).
The reverse can be done by positioning
the negative (–) terminal of the battery
on the negative contact point (F) and
touching the red test lead (A) to the
positive (+) terminal on the battery.
