WARNING: DO NOT TEST THROUGH THE JUMPSTART POSTS. For models that hold the battery under the seat or in the trunk, the manufacturer usually includes jumpstart connector conductor posts under the hood (See Figure 3.3.2) to make jumpstarting easier. However, to ensure data accuracy and operation safety, DO NOT CONNECT THE BATTERY TESTER TO THE JUMPSTART POSTS. Figure 3.3.2 3.4 Connect the Clamps to the Battery Terminals. 1) Before connecting the clamps to the terminals, please use sandpaper to polish off any corrosion on the battery terminals. With this, you can avoid inaccurate test values.
2) Attach the red clamp to the positive (+) terminal and the black clamp to the negative (-) (See Figure 3.4.1). • ALWAYS KEEP THE RED & BLACK CLAMPS FROM TOUCHING. • ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE CABLE FROM THE BATTERY FIRST AND RECONNECT IT LAST. 3) Once the clamps are properly connected, the battery tester will power on automatically and be ready to conduct tests.
