- Select the cold cranking output with the cold cranking output selector switch.
- Select the measurement range, 80 - 379 A or 380 - 499 A, with the ON/OFF function switch.

NOTE: Batteries having a cold cranking output greater than 499A according to DIN (for example 520A, 580A or 600A), can be tested with the setting for 499A according to DIN.

- Clamp the red clamp "+" of the tester to the positive terminal.
- Clamp the black clamp "-" on the tester to the negative terminal.

NOTE:
- Make sure the test clamps make good contact
