Operation

Prior to start-up

► Read the battery operating instructions before
connecting up the charger.
► Observe the vehicle manufacturer's
recommendation if the battery is still
connected to the vehicle.
► Clean the battery terminals. When doing so,
do not allow the dirt to come into contact
with your eyes or mouth.
► Ensure adequate ventilation. Hydrogen gas
(electrolytic gas) may escape from the battery
during charging and trickle charging.

Connection

charger to the (+) terminal of the battery.
► Connect the (–) terminal (black) (6) of the
charger to the (–) terminal of the battery.
► The (–) terminal (black) (6) can also be
connected to the car body, however well
away from fuel pipes.
Note: Make sure the (+) and (–) terminals are firm.
► Only then is the power cord to be connected
to the mains current.

Memory function

If the C3 charger is disconnected from the mains
during charging, the unit stores the mode imple-
mented. On re-connection to the mains and if the
battery is of the same type (6 V or 12 V), the unit
starts up automatically in the last mode. In the
case of a different type of battery (6 V and 12 V),
it switches to standby.
Caution: If mode 3 or 4 (12 V battery > 14 Ah) was
last implemented and a 12 V battery < 14 Ah is then
connected, this may result in overcharging and dam-
age to the battery. In such cases the mode is always
to be set appropriately for the battery to be charged.
