1. Connect DC cables to the charger and then the battery or batteries; ensure that there is a good electrical connection and
keep the terminals away from any surrounding objects that could cause a short circuit.
2. Connect the AC power cable to a mains power outlet; the BULK LED will be illuminated when the blue smart charger is
powered up.
3. Select the charge mode appropriate for the battery type; briefly press the MODE button to cycle through the available
options, the LED beside the currently selected charge mode will be illuminated.
When recondition mode is selected, the RECONDITION LED will be illuminated in addition to the selected charge mode LED.
