!Safety Reminder

For safe, ecient, and accurate testing, review the safety

and operating instructions in this manual before using the

analyzer. In addition, follow all manufacturers’instructions and

BCI (Battery Council International) safety recommendations.

Personal Precautions

Inspect the battery for damages and check the electrolyte level.

If the electrolyte level is too low, replenish it and fully charge

the battery. Always use the necessary safety precautions when

working with batteries to prevent severe injury or death.

Follow all manufacturers’ instructions and BCI (Battery Council

International) safety recommendations, which include the

following precautions:

DANGER—RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES: Batteries can pro-

duce a highly explosive mix of hydrogen gas and oxygen,

even when the battery is not in operation. Always work

in a well-ventilated area. Never smoke or allow a spark or

ame in the vicinity of a battery.

WARNING—REQUIRED BY CALIFORNIA PROP. 65: Bat-

tery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead

and lead compounds, chemicals known to the state of

California to cause cancer and birth defects or other re-

productive harm. Wash hands after handling.

Battery acid is highly corrosive. If acid enters your eyes, im-

mediately ush them thoroughly with cold running water

for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention. If bat-

tery acid gets on your skin or clothing, wash immediately

with a mixture of water and baking soda.

Always wear proper safety glasses or face shield when

working with or around batteries.

Keep hair, hands, and clothing as well as the analyzer cords

and cables away from moving engine parts.

Remove any jewelry or watches before you start servicing

the battery.

Use caution when working with metallic tools to prevent

sparks or short circuits.

Never lean over a battery when testing, charging, or jump

starting.

kit

Chapter 2: Overview

Connecting the Battery Test Cable

!CAUTION: To prevent damage to the analyzer’s

circuitry, do not connect the analyzer to a voltage

source greater than 30 Vdc.

To connect the battery test cable to the analyzer align the

arrow on the cable connector with the arrows on the analyzer’s

housing. Hold the part of the cable connector as shown and

Removing and Inserting the Data Card

The analyzer ships with a plastic insert in the data card slot to

protect it from dust and debris. To remove the plastic insert

or a data card, push briey on its edge to release it and pull it

from the slot.

When inserting a card, push it into the slot until it locks. The

card is correctly inserted when it is not protruding from the

slot. To protect the card slot and enable the analyzer to read

and write to the card, leave the card in the slot.

Display and Keypad

The EXP display and keypad work together to help you quickly nd and use the right tools at the right time. The display also

keeps you on track with on-screen navigation aids, directions, and messages. The illustration shows how the elements on the

screen relate to the keypad.

Internal Batteries Status Indicator

This indicator appears in the screen’s top left

corner, lets you know the status and charge level

of the analyzer’s six 1.5-volt batteries. The Xin

the top left corner of the screen shows that the

analyzer is powered by the battery you’re testing

to conserve the analyzer’s internal batteries.

Voltmeter

When you rst connect the analyzer to a battery

it functions as a voltmeter. The voltage reading

appears above the left soft key until you move to

other menus or functions.

Soft Keys

Press the two Soft Keys linked to the bottom of

the screen to perform the functions displayed

above them. The functions change depending on

the menu or test process. So it may be helpful to

think of the words appearing above them as part

of the keys. Some of the more common soft-key

functions are SELECT, BACK, and END.

POWER Key

Press the POWER button to turn the analyzer on

and o. The analyzer also turns on automatically

when you connect its test leads to a battery.

Title Bar

The title bar shows you the name of the current

menu, test tool, utility, or function.

Selection Area

The selection area below the Title Bar contains

selectable items or dialog boxes that display

information or require a response.

Menu Screen Arrows

When displayed in menu screens, the menu

screen arrows show you which ARROW key on

the keypad to press to display other icons or

screens. The Up and Down Menu Screen Arrows,

for example, indicate when to press the UP

( ) and DOWN ( ) ARROW keys to display the

screens above and below the current screen.

The Left and Right Menu Screen Arrows tell you

when to use the LEFT

( )

When displayed under a list of options, the menu

screen arrows show you which keypad arrow to

press to highlight a character or item in a list.

Data Entry Methods

To perform a particular test or function, the EXP requires

dierent types of information. This means that the methods

you use to enter information will change depending on the

type of information requested. The ve types of entry methods

are described below.

Typically, the soft key below the right half of the screen

conrms your choice, although the command above it may

vary. (Examples: SELECT, NEXT, and SAVE.) In a similar

fashion, the soft key below the left half of the screen cancels

your choice or returns you to the previous screen, although

the word above it may also vary. (Examples: BACK and END.)

Menu Icons

A menu icon is a graphical representation of a function you

can select, such as the Battery test Icon in the Main Menu. To

select an icon, use the

RIGHT ARROW

key to

highlight it. Highlighting changes the icon to a white picture

on a black background. To conrm your selection, press the

appropriate soft key.

item, use the UP or DOWN ARROW key to move the dot to the

button next to the item. To conrm your selection, press the

appropriate soft key.

Scrolling Lists

Scrolling lists contain items that extend above and below the

screen. The rst number above the right soft key indicates

the position in the list of the highlighted item. The second

number above the right soft key indicates the number of items

in the list.

To select an item, press the UP or DOWN ARROW key to

highlight the item and press the appropriate soft key.

To move the highlight bar up four lines at a time, press the
