Important Safety Instructions; Personal Safety Precautions - Facom B12OBD.M Bedienungsanleitung

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS – This manual will show you how to use your memory saver
detector safely and effectively. Please read, understand and follow these instructions and
precautions carefully, as this manual contains important safety and operating instructions.
WORKING IN THE VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID BATTERY IS DANGEROUS. BATTERIES GENERATE
EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL OPERATION. FOR THIS REASON, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT
YOU FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS EACH TIME YOU USE THE MEMORY SAVER DETECTOR.
Read the entire manual before using this product. Failure to do so could result in serious injury.
Use the memory saver detector in a well-ventilated area.
This memory saver detector is not intended for use by children.
Do not expose the memory saver detector to rain or snow.
Do not operate the memory saver detector if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped or otherwise
damaged in any way; take it to a qualified service person.
Inspect the battery for a cracked or broken case or cover. If the battery is damaged, do not use the memory
saver detector.
Do not disassemble the memory saver detector; take it to a qualified service person when service or repair is
required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
Follow these instructions and those published by the battery manufacturer and the manufacturer of any
equipment you intend to use in the vicinity of the battery. Review the cautionary markings on these products
and on the engine.
• Wear complete eye protection and protective clothing when working near lead-acid batteries. Always have
someone nearby for help.
• Have plenty of fresh water, soap and baking soda nearby for use, in case battery acid contacts your eyes,
skin or clothing. Wash immediately with soap and water and seek medical attention.
• If battery acid comes into contact with eyes, flush eyes immediately for at least 10 minutes and get medical
attention.
• Neutralize any acid spills thoroughly with baking soda before attempting to clean up.
• Remove all personal metal items from your body, such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches. A lead-
acid battery can produce a short circuit current high enough to weld a ring to metal, causing a severe burn.
• Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery or engine.
Use the memory saver detector cable to save the vehicle's on-board diagnostic computer settings (radio
programs, diagnostic codes, etc.) while the battery is disconnected from the vehicle during repair or
maintenance.
Note: Some vehicle manufacturers do not allow the use of a memory saver through the OBDII. Consult
the vehicle manufacturer before use, to determine if a memory saver is acceptable for use on the
vehicle.
1. Make sure that the power source used is greater than or equal to 12Vdc. If using a portable battery device,
make sure it is fully charged.
2. Turn off the vehicle, remove the key, and make sure all accessories are off.
WARNING: Verify all vehicle accessories are OFF (fan, interior lights, etc.). Headlights must be in OFF posi-
tion, not AUTO position. To prevent overloading of a vehicle fuse, B12OBD.M fuse or other vehicle damage,
do not use the memory saver through the OBDII port if the vehicle's current draw is 4 amps or more when the
vehicle is in a KEY OFF condition. (Use an amp clamp to measure the amperage draw). If unable to measure
the vehicle's current draw, turn the vehicle's key to the OFF position and wait 25 minutes. This ensures that
all retained accessories are in a power OFF state (for example: fan, headlights, etc.).
3. Connect the 12V power plug of the B12OBD.M to your 12V DC power supply. Make sure plug is firmly in
place. The yellow CONNECTED LED in box #1 will light, indicating a good connection.
