2. Veiligheidsinligting

• Omgekeerde polariteitsbeskerming: The BT60 features built-in reverse polarity protection. If the clamps are connected incorrectly (red to negative, black to positive), the device will not operate, preventing damage to both the tester and the battery.
• Korrekte verbinding: Koppel altyd die rooi clamp to the battery's positiewe (+) terminaal en die swart clamp to the battery's negatiewe (-) terminaal.
• No External Power: The device is powered directly by the battery under test. No external power adapters or batteries are required, ensuring safe, passive testing without discharging the battery.
• Ventilasie: Ensure adequate ventilation when working with lead-acid batteries, as they can produce explosive gases.
• Oogbeskerming: Dra altyd gepaste oogbeskerming wanneer u met batterye werk.
• Hou duidelik: Keep hands, hair, and clothing clear of moving engine parts.
