IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains important safety and operating instructions for battery charger model
MultiCharger750 .
2. Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
3. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the battery charger manufacturer may result
in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons
4. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by plug rather than cord when
disconnecting charger.
5. An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension
cord could result in a risk of fire and electric shock. If extension cord must be used, make sure:
a) That pins on plug of extension cord are the same number, size, and shape as those
of plug on charger;
b) That extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition; and
c) That wire size is large enough for ac ampere rating of charger.
6. Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug - replace the cord or plug immediately.
7. Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in
any way; take it to a qualified serviceman.
8. Do not disassemble charger; take it to a qualified serviceman when service or repair is required.
Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
9. To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from outlet before attempting any maintenance
or cleaning. Turning off controls will not reduce this risk.
10. WARNING - RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES.

a) WORKING IN VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID BATTERY IS DANGEROUS. BATTERIES
GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION. FOR
THIS REASON, IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT EACH TIME BEFORE USING
YOUR CHARGER, YOU READ THIS MANUAL AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS
EXACTLY.
b) To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by
battery manufacturer and manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in vicinity of
battery. Review cautionary marking on these products and on engine.
11. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS

a) Someone should be within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid when
you work near a lead-acid battery.
b) Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing,
or eyes.
c) Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while working
near battery.
d) If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid
enters eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water for at least 10 minutes and get
medical attention immediately.
e) NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine.
Page 3
f) Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto battery. It might spark or
short-circuit battery or other electrical part that may cause explosion.
g) Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when
working with a lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit current
high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, causing a severe burn.
h) Use charger for charging a LEAD-ACID battery only. It is not intended to supply power to
a low voltage electrical system other than in a starter-motor application. Do not use
battery charger for charging dry-cell batteries that are commonly used with home
appliances. These batteries may burst and cause injury to persons and damage to
property.
i) NEVER charge a frozen battery.
12. PREPARING TO CHARGE

a) If necessary to remove battery from vehicle to charge, always remove grounded terminal
from battery first. Make sure all accessories in the vehicle are off, so as not to cause an
arc.
b) Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while battery is being charged. Gas can be
forcefully blown away by using a piece of cardboard or other non metallic material as a
fan.
c) Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact with eyes.
d) Add distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches level specified by battery
manufacturer. This helps purge excessive gas from cells. Do not overfill. For a battery
without cell caps, carefully follow manufacturer’s recharging instructions.
e) Study all battery manufacturer’s specific precautions such as removing or not removing
cell caps while charging and recommended rates of charge.
f) Determine voltage of battery by referring to car owner’s manual and make sure that
output voltage selector switch is set at correct voltage. If charger has adjustable charge
rate, charge battery initially at lowest rate.
13. CHARGER LOCATION

a) Locate charger as far away from battery as dc cables permit.
b) Never place charger directly above battery being charged; gases from battery will
corrode and damage charger.
c) Never allow battery acid to drip on charger when reading gravity or filling battery.
d) Do not operate charger in a closed-in area or restrict ventilation in any way.
e) Do not set a battery on top of charger
14. DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS

a) Connect and disconnect dc output clips only after setting any charger switches to off
position and removing ac cord from electric outlet. Never allow clips to touch each other.
b) Attach clips to battery and chassis as indicated in 15(e), 15(f), 16(b), and 16(d).
15. FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN VEHICLE. A SPARK NEAR
BATTERY MAY CAUSE BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR
BATTERY:
a) Position ac and dc cords to reduce risk of damage by hood, door, or moving engine part.
b) Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other parts that can cause injury to persons.
c) Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually has larger
diameter than NEGATIVE (NEG, N,-) post.
d) Determine which post of battery is grounded (connected) to the chassis. If negative post
is grounded to chassis (as in most vehicles), see (e). If positive post is grounded to the
chassis, see (f).
Page 4
e) For negative-grounded vehicle, connect POSITIVE (RED) clip from battery charger to
POSITIVE (POS, P, +) ungrounded post of battery. Connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip to
vehicle chassis or engine block away from battery. Do not connect clip to carburettor,
fuel lines, or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gage metal part of the frame or
engine block.
f) For positive-grounded vehicle, connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip from battery charger to
NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) ungrounded post of battery. Connect POSITIVE (RED) clip to
vehicle chassis or engine block away from battery. Do not connect clip to carburettor,
fuel lines, or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gage metal part of the frame or
engine block.
g) When disconnecting charger, turn switches to off, disconnect AC cord, remove clip from
vehicle chassis, and then remove clip from battery terminal.
h) See operating instructions for length of charge information.
16. FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS OUTSIDE VEHICLE. A SPARK NEAR THE
BATTERY MAY CAUSE BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR
BATTERY:
a) Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually has a larger
diameter than NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
b) Attach at least a 24-inch-long 6-gauge (AWG) insulated battery cable to NEGATIVE
(NEG, N, -) battery post.
c) Connect POSITIVE (RED) charger clip to POSITIVE (POS, P, +) post of battery.
d) Position yourself and free end of cable as far away from battery as possible –then
connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) charger clip to free end of cable.
e) Do not face battery when making final connection.
f) When disconnecting charger, always do so in reverse sequence of connecting procedure
and break first connection while as far away from battery as practical.
g) A marine (boat) battery must be removed and charged on shore. To charge it on board
requires equipment specially designed for marine use.
17. GROUNDING AND AC POWER CORD CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS –

Charger should :
be grounded to reduce risk of electric shock. Charger is equipped with an electric cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
DANGER - Never alter AC cord or plug provided - if it will not fit outlet, have proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician. Improper connection can result in a risk of an electric
shock
18. Connect only to acid batteries with rated voltage of 12V, 24V or 36V.

1 Description
1.1 General mode of operation
The MultiCharger 750 is designed to be used to for charging motor vehicle batteries. It can also be
used as an external supply of electric power to a vehicle. The MultiCharger 750 is equally suited
for use in 12V, 24V and 36V systems. Power output is 750W, sufficient to charge all popular
vehicle batteries.
The MultiCharger 750 is fed from the mains supply and converts the existing alternating current
voltage into direct current voltage. The power element is fitted with an isolating transformer that
ensures that the output voltage is electrically isolated from the mains supply.
For protection, input and output fuses are built into the MultiCharger 750. If it becomes
overloaded, a power limiter also kicks in to stop the MultiCharger 750 getting damaged.
The MultiCharger 750 is designed as a tabletop unit, which is cooled by the free flow of air from the
base to the top. You should therefore make sure that your MultiCharger 750 remains uncovered.
All connections, displays and operating controls are located on the front of the MultiCharger 750.
1.2 Connections
All of the MultiCharger 750’s connections are on the front of the unit.
Mains supply is connected on the left using an inlet connector for non-heating appliances. In the
middle is a serial interface connection, used to set the MultiCharger 750’s base parameters and for
calibration. The connection sockets for the battery are on the right, where the battery clamp cable
is attached using bayonet plugs.
Page 8
1.3 RS232 interface
On the MultiCharger 750’s connection panel there is a male 9-pin D-bus connector. You can
connect a laptop, PC or handheld terminal to this interface, enabling you to programme basic
settings and to calibrate your MultiCharger 750.
The transmit and receive lines on the 9-pin cable must be crossed (i.e. it must be a null modem
cable).
The interface configuration is as follows:
- 9600 baud data rate

- 8 data bits
- 1 start bit, 1 stop bit
- No parity
- No protocol
1.4 Displays and operating controls
1.4.1 Button 1 (On/Off)

Button 1 is used to switch the MultiCharger 750 on and off. If the connected mains power voltage
is over 95V, pressing button 1 switches the MultiCharger 750 on and makes it ready for use.
You will also need to use button 1 to re-enable the system if a fault makes the unit shut down.
1.4.2 Button 2 (Start/Stop)

Button 2 is used to start or stop the charging process or the supply of external power.
Page 9
1.4.3 Button 3 (Enter)
Button 3 is used as a button to confirm entries and for system navigation.
1.4.4 Button 4 (Up)

Button 4 is a navigation button.
1.4.5 Button 5 (Down)

Button 5 is also a navigation button.
1.4.6 Green LED

The green LED indicates that the MultiCharger 750 is ready for use. It lights up as soon as mains
power voltage is over 95V and button 1 (On/Off) has been pressed. When the MultiCharger 750 is
switched off, or when there is a mains power failure, the green LED goes out.
If the MultiCharger 750 is in battery charging mode, the charging process has been completed and
trickle charge is on, the green LED then flashes.
1.4.7 Red LED

The red LED indicates that there is either an internal or external fault affecting the MultiCharger
750. The red LED lights up whenever there is a fault or if the unit shuts down and disables itself.
1.4.8 LC Display
The MultiCharger 750’s LCD has two lines and can show 16 characters per line.
The current output voltage and power output are displayed on the top line. The bottom line acts as
a status display, showing in plain text the operating state and details of any faults that occur (see
Appendix A).
The LCD is illuminated and can therefore be easily read both in the dark and in direct sunlight.
Page 10
2 Operating modes
2.1 Setting operating mode

You can only set the operating mode if the MultiCharger 750 is ready for use, i.e. if it has been
switched on via button 1 (On/Off). However, the unit does not have to be charging a battery and
no battery needs to be connected to the charger output.
When you press button 3 (Enter) a prompt to enter a password appears on the LCD display. The
password is made up of four numerical characters and is explained in more detail in section 5.
After correctly entering the password, you get to the MultiCharger 750’s service menu. You
navigate this menu by using buttons 3, 4 and 5 (see section 5).
Operating mode is set via ‘Set mode’ on the menu. This lets you select one of the following
operating modes (described below): ‘Charging’, ‘EPS 12V’, ‘EPS 24V’, ‘EPS 36V’ or ‘EPS
autostart’.
Operating modes for 24V and 36V operation must be separately enabled via the ‘Activate mode’
menu item, which enables them to be activated. To do this for 36V operation you also need to
enter a 6-digit password.
The MultiCharger 750 is supplied from the factory set to battery charging mode.
2.2 Battery charging mode (CHRG)

This is the mode used to charge vehicle batteries. The MultiCharger 750 is ready for use as soon
as you have switched it on by pressing button 1 (On/Off). Ready for use means that the
MultiCharger 750’s output voltage will remain at zero volts until a battery is attached to the output
connector.
When a battery is connected, the charger first measures the voltage. This determines the battery’s
rated voltage (12V, 24V or 36V). The output voltage is then set accordingly and the battery starts
to be charged.
The following table gives an overview of valid voltage ranges:
Voltage range MultiCharger Error MultiCharger MultiCharger MultiCharger

750 msg 750 750 750
Ready for use At 14.8V At 28.8V At 43.2V
0V - 5V x
5V - 7V x
7V - 15V x
15V - 17V x
17V - 30V x
30V - 33V x
33V - 48V x
>48V x
If the voltage of the battery that is connected is outside of one of the permitted ranges, the
MultiCharger 750 disables itself, the output voltage remains at 0V and a ‘Faulty battery’ error
message appears on the LCD display. To re-enable your MultiCharger 750 switch button 1
(On/Off) off and back on again.
Page 11
If the battery voltage is in one of the valid ranges, the MultiCharger 750 sets the output voltage
accordingly and starts charging the battery. ‘Charging’ appears on the LCD display. Charging
continues until the charge current drops below the 2.5A limit. Thereafter the MultiCharger 750
stays on charge for a preset period (the factory setting is 120 minutes), after which it goes to trickle
charge.
If the current rises back above 2.5A during this secondary charging period or while on trickle
charge, the MultiCharger 750 switches back to full charging and begins the charge cycle again.
If the charge current fails to drop below 2.5A within a preset period (factory setting is 10 hours), the
MultiCharger 750 switches to trickle charge.
The green LED flashes to indicate when the unit is on trickle charge.
The following table gives an overview of the MultiCharger 750’s factory-set voltage levels:
Charging 12V Trickle Charging 24V Trickle Charging 36V Trickle

charging 12V charging 24V charging 36V
14.8V 13.4V 28.8V 26.8V 43.2V 40.1V
The charging process can be stopped by pressing button 2 (Start/Stop). If the battery remains
connected, the charging process can then be restarted by pressing button 2 (Start/Stop) again. If
the battery is unclamped, the charging process is over and will be restarted automatically if the
battery is connected again.
If the battery is unclamped during the charging process without pressing button 2 (Start/Stop), the
process will likewise be stopped. It will be restarted again automatically if the battery is
reconnected.
Warning:
Unclamping the battery without first properly ending the charging process can briefly create sparks.
The charging process can also be stopped at any time by pressing button 1 (On/Off). When the
MultiCharger 750 is switched back on the charging process would then begin again from the start.
2.2.1 Output current in battery charging mode

In battery charging mode the MultiCharger 750 can be briefly (max. 1 minute) subjected to an
output current increased by 25%.
The following table gives an overview of maximum levels of output current for the MultiCharger
750:
Inom at Imax at Inom at Imax at Inom at Imax at

12V CHRG 12V CHRG 24V CHRG 24V CHRG 36V CHRG 36V CHRG
40.0A 50.0A 20.0A 25.0A 15.0A 18.0A
If the MultiCharger 750’s rated current is exceeded during use, the unit internally measures how
long this situation lasts. After a maximum of one minute the current limit is reset to the rated value.
To avoid the MultiCharger 750 overheating the unit allows a period for the charger recover five
times as long as the length of time for which the rated current was exceeded. For example, if the
rated current is exceeded for 30 seconds, the MultiCharger 750’s current limit is held at the level of
the rated current for 2 minutes 30 seconds. After that time, the rated current can again be
exceeded.
Page 12
2.3 External power supply (EPS) mode
This operating mode enables power to be supplied to vehicles that have no battery. Once the
MultiCharger 750 has been switched on by pressing button 1 (On/Off), it is ready for use. That
means that the MultiCharger 750’s output voltage will stay at zero volts until button 2 (Start/Stop) is
pressed.
The MultiCharger 750 then goes onto charge at the relevant voltage.
The following table gives an overview of the factory-set voltage levels for the EPS mode:
EPS 12V mode EPS 24V mode EPS 36V mode

14.0V 28.0V 42.0V
The output voltage on the MultiCharger 750 remains switched on until button 2 (Start/Stop) is
pressed again. When you press this button, the MultiCharger 750 switches output voltage to 0V
until button 2 (Start/Stop) is pressed once again. Then output voltage is switched back on again.
Output voltage can also be switched off by pressing button 1 (On/Off).
Connecting a battery (with a voltage of >1V) to the MultiCharger 750 before the output voltage is
switched on is not allowed. If this is done, a ‘Return voltage’ error message will appear.
The output voltage on the MultiCharger 750 can then not be switched on until the battery is once
again removed.
Warning:
Connecting a battery to the MultiCharger 750 while it is in EPS mode is not allowed.
If the MultiCharger 750 is in EPS 36V mode, under no circumstances may a vehicle with on board
voltage of 12 or 24 volts be connected to the charger. This would inevitably cause irreparable
damage to the vehicle.
2.4 EPS autostart mode

This mode works in a similar way to EPS mode. The difference between the two operating modes
is that in EPS autostart mode a battery has to be connected to the MultiCharger 750.
The MultiCharger 750 then sets the output voltage automatically to match the battery that is
attached.
Page 13
2.5 Charging AGM batteries
It is possible that the batteries used in some vehicles may be so-called AGM (Absorbent Glass
Mat) batteries, i.e. batteries containing an absorbent glass-fibre mat.
With these batteries, you should make particularly sure that in no event does the charging voltage
exceed 14.8V (or 29.6V in the case of 24V batteries and 44.4V for 36V batteries).
When AGM batteries are used, adjustments to the MultiCharger 750’s output voltage (see section
5.4) must therefore be made with particular care.
Warning: Any AGM battery will be permanently damaged if the charging voltage exceeds
14.8V (or 29.6V in the case of 24V batteries and 44.4V for 36V batteries).
The MultiCharger 750 is supplied with the output voltage set below the allowable limit for AGM
batteries.
2.6 Charging Gel batteries

The batteries used in some vehicles are Gel batteries.
With these batteries, you should make particularly sure that the charging voltage is between 14.1V
and 14.8V (or 28.2 - 28.8V in the case of 24V batteries and 42.3 - 44.4V for 36V batteries).
The trickle charge voltage should not exceed 13.8V (or 27.6V in the case of 24V batteries and
41.4V for 36V batteries).
When Gel batteries are used, adjustments to the MultiCharger 750’s output voltage (see section
5.4) must therefore be made with particular care.
The charging current should be between 15 - 40A for every 100Ah of battery capacity. Refer to the
technical specifications of the relevant Gel battery for the maximum permitted current.
Warning:
If a Gel battery’s charging voltage or trickle charge voltage exceeds the levels shown
above, battery life will be shortened. If these levels are regularly exceeded, the battery will
be permanently damaged.
2.7 Charging motorcycle batteries

Motorcycle batteries generally have a significantly smaller capacity than car batteries. This can
lead to the MultiCharger 750’s maximum charging current (50A for 12V batteries) being too high for
some types of battery.
Should this be the case, the MultiCharger 750’s output current limit should therefore be set lower
(see section 5.6).
For the maximum permitted charging current, refer to the technical specifications of the relevant
motorcylce battery.
Page 14
3 Internal monitoring
The MultiCharger 750 has several internal monitoring functions that ensure that the charger works
reliably. These are individually described in the following sub-sections.
3.1 Mains power monitoring

If the mains voltage drops below 85V, the MultiCharger 750 signals a fault and switches off. The
message ‘Mains error’ appears on the LCD display and the green LED goes out.
If the mains voltage rises above 95V, the MultiCharger 750 can be made ready for use by pressing
button 1 (On/Off) and the green LED lights up.
3.2 Monitoring intermediate circuit voltage

Intermediate circuit voltage is monitored both against dropping too low and rising too high. If either
limit (335V and 430V respectively) is passed, the MultiCharger 750 signals a fault and disables
itself. The message ‘PFC error’ appears on the LCD display and the red LED comes on.
3.3 Output overvoltage protection

For safety reasons output voltage is monitored for excessive levels in two totally independent
ways.
The controller independent hardware monitoring threshold for overvoltage output is fixed at 16V,
32V and 48V respectively. This monitors internal output voltage. If internal voltage goes over this
threshold, the MultiCharger 750 signals a fault and disables itself. The message ‘OVP error’
appears in the LCD display and the red LED comes on.
The digital monitoring threshold for overvoltage output is adjustable, while the factory setting for
this is also 16V, 32V and 48V respectively. If output voltage goes over this threshold, the
MultiCharger 750 signals a fault and disables itself. The message ‘Overvoltage’ appears in the
LCD display and the red LED comes on.
3.4 Output undervoltage protection

The monitoring threshold for output undervoltage is 7V, 14V and 33V respectively.
If output voltage drops below this threshold, the MultiCharger 750 signals a fault and disables itself.
The message ‘Voltage too low’ appears on the LCD display and the red LED comes on.
Page 15
3.5 Excessive output current
If, due to an internal fault in the appliance, output current exceeds the prevailing current limit level
by more than 25%, the MultiCharger 750 signals a fault and disables itself. The message
‘Overcurrent’ appears in the LCD display and the red LED comes on.
3.6 Temperature monitoring

This monitoring function measures the temperature inside the MultiCharger 750. If this rises above
the maximum limit of 80°C, the MultiCharger 750 signals a fault and is switched off, but not
disabled. The message ‘Temperature err.’ appears on the LCD display and the red LED comes
on. The MultiCharger 750 remains ready for use.
If the temperature drops back below the maximum level, the error message is automatically
cancelled.
3.7 Relay monitoring

This function monitors the internal relay switches in the MultiCharger 750’s main circuit. If there is
a problem with any of these, the MultiCharger 750 signals a fault and disables itself. The message
‘Internal error’ appears on the LCD display and the red LED comes on.
4 External monitoring
The MultiCharger 750 also has a number of external monitoring functions that keep a constant
check on connected power consumers. These are individually described in the following sub-
sections.
4.1 Short circuit

The MultiCharger 750 can tell that it has an output short circuit if this occurs in the current limiter
and output voltage drops below the limit of 7V, 14V or 33V respectively. In that case, the
MultiCharger 750 signals a fault and disables itself. The message ‘Short circuit’ appears on the
LCD display and the red LED comes on.
Page 16
4.2 Reverse polarity
If a battery is connected the wrong way round, the MultiCharger 750 signals a fault but remains
ready for use. This does not do the MultiCharger 750 any harm. No charging or trickle charging
process will be started. ‘Reverse polarity’ appears on the LCD display and the red LED comes on.
4.3 Faulty battery

If the battery connected to the charger has an output voltage outside of the permitted limits (see
section 2.2), the MultiCharger 750 signals a fault and disables itself. The message ‘Faulty battery’
appears on the LCD display and the red LED comes on.
4.4 Clamp contact

This monitoring function is active in battery charging mode (see section 2.2) and in EPS autostart
mode (see section 2.4).
If the MultiCharger 750’s output current drops below 10mA during the charging or trickle charging
process, the MultiCharger 750 recognises this as meaning that the clamps have been removed or
come away from the battery posts. The charger then briefly signals a fault, the message
‘Clamp contact’ appears on the LCD display and the red LED comes on. However, the
MultiCharger 750 remains ready for use.
4.5 Return voltage

This monitoring function is only active in EPS mode (see section 2.3).
You are not allowed to connect a battery to the MultiCharger 750 in this operating mode. If you do
nevertheless connect a battery ahead of trying to start to charge it, the MultiCharger 750 signals a
fault. The message ‘Return voltage’ appears on the LCD display and the red LED comes on. The
4.6 Reverse polarity return voltage

This monitoring function is only active in EPS mode (see section 2.3).
You are not allowed to connect a battery to the MultiCharger 750 in this operating mode. If you do
nevertheless connect a battery ahead of trying to start to charge it, and connect it the wrong way
round, the MultiCharger 750 signals a fault. The MultiCharger 750 will not be harmed by this, but
the message ‘EPS reverse pole’ appears on the LCD display and the red LED comes on. The

5 Service menu
The service menu is used to make basic system settings on your MultiCharger 750. The structure
of this menu is set out below. To avoid mistakes these settings are protected by two different
codes. You should give access to these only to properly trained individuals.
The general code for using the service menu is: 0109.
For safety reasons, the second code for activating the 36V operating modes is known only to the
manufacturer. If you need it, please ask.
Changes to parameters such as charging voltages, current limits, monitoring limits and process
times must be made sensibly. Inappropriate changes can detrimentally impact the way the charger
works.
None of the settings can be changed unless the MultiCharger 750 is ready for use, i.e. unless it
has been switched on via button 1 (On/Off). However, the unit does not have to be charging a
battery nor does a battery need to be connected.
When you press button 3 (Enter) a prompt appears on the LCD display for you to enter a
password. This consists of four numeric characters and can be entered by using button 3 (Enter),
button 4 (Up) and button 5 (Down). Each of the four characters is selected using button 4 (Up) and
button 5 (Down) and then confirmed with button 3 (Enter).
After correctly entering the password, you get to the MultiCharger 750’s service menu. This menu
is also navigated by using buttons 3, 4 and 5.
All of the setting options are described below:
