REASON/SOLUTION
Check for a poor connection
to the battery and/or frame.
Make sure connection points
are clean. Rock the clips
back and forth for a better
connection.
Unplug the charger and
reverse the clips.
If your battery does not have
.2V, you must press and
hold the CHARGE ON/OFF
button for five seconds to get
the charge cycle started.
Have the battery checked.
Have the battery checked.
Verify the CHARGE VOLT-
AGE setting on the charger.
Make sure it matches the
battery being charged.
In the case of a severely dis-
charged battery, the charger
will go into abort mode. If,
after the output turns off, the
battery voltage drops to un-
der .2 volts, the charger will
reset to the default settings
and the display will show
12V FAST on the top line
and CONNECT BATTERY
on the bottom line.
