connections.2. Rest the 950 on a flat, stable surfacenear the vehicle battery and awayfrom moving engine parts.

3. Connect the red clamp to the positiveterminal of the vehicle battery.

4. Connect the black clamp to an un-painted and unmoving part of thevehicle chassis or engine block.CAUTION: If you have connected theclamps backwards, an audio alarmwilt sound. Reverse the connectionsand the audible alarm will stop.NOTE: If after following steps 1-4the display remains blank, check fora good connection on both jaws ofthe clamps. If the display still doesn'tlight, hold down the display switch for5 seconds. If the display doesn't blink,the external battery voltage is too lowto be detected by the 950.

5. Digital Display: The charge percent-age of the vehicle's battery wilt bedisplayed for 5 seconds. The displaywilt blink to indicate proper connectionand will then show the charge per-centage of both batteries combined(950 and vehicle)

6. Turn the key and crank the engine.The display wilt count down from10 seconds. If the engine does notstart, wait at least 1 minute beforeattempting to crank the vehicle again.This permits the battery and relay to

cool down. Only attempt to crank theengine when the display is blinking(relay is engaged).
