AUTO SHUTOFF
If the tester is left on while in a user select mode (other than SOC) the ATD5493 will automatically shutoff
after 3 minutes from the last user entry. This will conserve battery life in case the tester is left on
inadvertently.
REPLACING THE INTERNAL 9V BATTERY
1. The ATD5493 will alert the user when the voltage of the internal battery is low and needs to be
replaced. When this occurs, the display shows REPLACE INTERNAL BATTERY. This
message will also display if no battery is installed.
2. To replace battery: Remove screw at back of tester and lift up the battery cover. Insert the 9V
battery into the battery compartment noting the polarity label inside. (See figure below).

“WAITING TO CONNECT”
2. If remote is temporarily out of range or signal is momentarily weak the display will show:
“SYNCING”
“PLEASE WAIT”
3. If local transmitter becomes disconnected or remote cannot sync after several unsuccessful attempts and

NOTE: To properly test the Electrical System
(Full Test) the test sequence should be Battery

properly test the Starter and Charging system.
Therefore, the Starter Test Data and/or Charging

test is skipped.
