WARNING 1. Working in the vicinity of a lead acid battery is dangerous. Batteries generate explosive gases during normal battery operation. For this reason, it is of utmost importance, if you have any doubt, that each time before using your tester, please read these instructions very carefully. 2. To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by the battery manufacturer and manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in the vicinity of the battery. Observe cautionary markings on these items. 3. Do not expose the tester to rain or snow. PERSONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 1. Someone should be within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid when you work near a lead acid battery. 2. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing or eyes. 3. Wear safety glasses and protective clothing. 4. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water for at least ten minutes and get medical attention immediately. 5. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine. 6. Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto the battery. It could spark or short-circuit the battery or other electrical parts and could cause an explosion. 7. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches when working with a lead acid battery. It can produce a short circuit current high enough

to weld a ring or the like to metal causing a severe burn. PREPARING TO TEST 1. Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while battery is being tested. 2. Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact with eyes. 3. Inspect the battery for cracked or broken case or cover. If battery is damaged, do not use tester. 4. If the battery is not sealed maintenance free, add distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches level specified by the manufacturer. This helps purge excessive gas from cells. Do not overfill. 5. If necessary to remove battery from vehicle to test, always remove ground terminal from battery first. Make sure all accessories in the vehicle are off to ensure you do not cause any arcing. OPERATION & USE BATTERY TEST - MBT301 1. Before you test a battery in a vehicle, turn off the ignition, all accessories and loads. Close all the vehicle doors and the trunk lid. 2. Make sure you have put 4pcs 1.5V batteries into the battery chamber. Oxyride batteries are not recommended because of the initial 1.7 Volt output. If the 1.5V battery runs out of power, screen will show “REPLACE INTERNAL BATTERY” or” POWER LOW”. Replace those 4pcs 1.5V batteries before starting the test. Note that nothing will be seen on the display until

the tester is connected to a vehicle battery. 3. Make sure the battery terminals are clean. Wire brush them if necessary. Clamp the black load lead to the vehicle negative battery terminal. Clamp the red load lead to the vehicle positive battery terminal. Please clamp on the lead part of the terminal only. Clamping on the iron part of the terminal will lead to wrong test results. 4. Paper load: Open the clear cover. Insert paper to the paper feeding for auto running the paper into printer. Press the “↑” key to get more paper out. STEP 1: Connected the clamps to the tested battery. STEP 2: Open the clear cover STEP 3: Insert the paper into the paper feeding.
