3. Proper use

The charger is designed for charging non-
maintenance-free or maintenance-free12 V starter
batteries (lead acid batteries) which are used in
motor vehicles. This equipment is also designed for
lead gel batteries.
The equipment is to be used only for its prescribed
purpose. Any other use is deemed to be a case of
misuse. The user / operator and not the
manufacturer will be liable for any damage or injuries
of any kind caused as a result of this.
Please note that our equipment has not been
designed for use in commercial, trade or industrial
applications. Our warranty will be voided if the
machine is used in commercial, trade or industrial
businesses or for equivalent purposes.

5. Operation
Most motor vehicle manufacturers recommend
that the battery should be disconnected from the
vehicleʼs electrical system before being charged.
We would like to point out that even standard
vehicles are fitted with a whole host of electronic
equipment (such as ABS, ASR, injection pump
and on-board computer). Any voltage peaks that
occur may cause defects in these electronic
modules. Therefore the battery should be
disconnected from the electrical system before
being charged.
Please also refer to the instructions in the
ownerʼs manuals for the car, radio, navigation
system, etc.
Notes on automatic charging
The charger is a microprocessor controlled automatic
charger, i.e. it is suitable in particular for charging
maintenance-free batteries and for the long-term
charging and maintenance-charging of batteries
which are not in constant use, e.g. for boats, lawn
mowers and the like. The integrated microprocessor
enables charging in three steps.
In step one the battery is charged to approximately
85% with an almost constant current. In step two the
battery is charged with a constant current until it
reaches 95%. Step three keeps the battery voltage
constant and the battery is always fully charged.
The charging operation does not need to be
monitored.
Proceed as follows to charge the battery:
