- Connect the tester to the battery. Red clamp to battery positive (+) terminal. Black clamp to battery negative (-) terminal. CAUTION: Connect clamps securely. If "CHECK CONNECTION" message is displayed on the screen, reconnect clamps securely.
- The tester will ask if the battery is connected "IN A VEHICLE" or "OUT OF A VEHICLE". Make your selection by pressing the arrow buttons; then press ENTER.
- Choose either CCA or CCP and press the ENTER button. NOTE: CCA: Cold cranking amps, is an SAE specification for cranking batteries at -18°C (0°F). CCP: Cold cranking amps, is an SAE specification for Korean manufacturer's for cranking batteries at -18° (0°F).
- Set the CCA value displayed on the screen to the CCA value marked on the battery label by pressing up and down buttons and press ENTER. NOTE: The battery ratings (CCA) displayed on the tester must be identical to the ratings marked on battery label.
- The tester (Micro 570) displays battery test results including voltage and battery ratings. A relevant action must be given according to the test results by referring to the battery test results as shown in «BATTERY TEST RESULTS»(ref-269575-S37616429612007110100000) table below. NOTE: The battery ratings (CCA) displayed on the tester must be identical to the ratings marked on battery label.
- To conduct starter test, press ENTER.
