IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING – RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES
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.
To reduce the risk of a battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published
by the manufacturer of the battery and any equipment you intend to use in the vicinity
of the battery. Review the cautionary markings on these products and on the engine.
WARNING: Pursuant to California Proposition
65, this product contains chemicals known to
the state of California to cause cancer and
birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Wash hands after handling.
• Read the entire manual before using this
product. Failure to do so could result in
serious injury.
• Use the memory saver in a well-ventilated
area.
• This memory saver is not intended for use
by children.
• Do not expose the memory saver to rain
or snow.
• Do not operate the memory saver 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.
• Do not disassemble the memory saver; 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.
PERSONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• 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 in contact with eyes,
flush eyes immediately for a minimum 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 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.

CHARGING THE INTERNAL BATTERY OF THE MEMORY SAVER
IMPORTANT: CHARGE IMMEDIATELY
AFTER PURCHASE, AFTER EACH USE
AND EVERY 30 DAYS, TO KEEP THE
MEMORY SAVER’S INTERNAL BATTERY
FULLY CHARGED.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug
the memory saver’s charger from the outlet
before attempting any maintenance or
cleaning.
• When charging the internal battery, work in
a well ventilated area and do not restrict the
ventilation in any way.
LED INDICATORS
To check the internal battery’s charge
status, press the Battery Status button on
the front of the memory saver.
The LED lights indicate the charge level,
as follows:
(red) LED – The memory saver is
•
charging (connected to an AC power source.)
•
(yellow/orange) LED – Indicates a
50-75% charge. The memory saver may be
used, but should be recharged as soon as
possible.
(green) LED – The internal battery is fully
•
charged.
•4•
CHARGING THE INTERNAL
BATTERY USING THE
1. To charge, plug the charger connecter
into the charging inlet on the back of the
memory saver.
2. lug the charger into a 0
electrical
wall outlet.
3. The
R I
(red) LED will glow,
indicating charging.
4. The
R ED (green) LED will light
when the battery has reached full
charge. This could take up to 7 hours,
depending on the age and condition of
the battery. The charger will automatically
go into maintain mode and maintain the
battery at full charge without damaging it.
5. harge the memory saver as soon as
possible after use.
NOTE: To reduce the risk of damage to the
adaptor or cord, pull by the plug rather
than the cord when disconnecting the
memory saver’s charger.
You may also charge the internal battery
while driving, using a male-to-male
charger cable (not included).
NOTE: se a male-to-male
adaptor only for charging the internal
battery. You must use the BD onnector
to save memory.

1. ake sure the car is running.
2. Insert one end of the accessory cable into
the
D power outlet.
3. Insert the other end of the accessory cable
into the vehicle’s accessory outlet
(lighter socket). NOTE: The
R I
(red) LED and the
R ED (green)
LED do not operate during this method of
charging. Using this method to charge
the battery overrides the maintain mode
and the battery can be overcharged.
4. onitor the progress of the charge by
pressing the Battery Status button on the
front of the unit. When it reaches a full
( 00%) charge, disconnect the accessory
cable from the memory saver, then from
the lighter socket of the vehicle.
NOTE: ompletely disconnect the charger
cable when the engine is not running.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
se the memory saver 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.
BEFORE USING THE MEMORY SAVER
ake sure that the memory saver’s
internal battery is fully charged. See
LED I DI T RS section.
1. ake sure the unit is fully charged.
2. Turn off the vehicle, remove the key, and
make sure all accessories are off.
WARNING: erify all vehicle accessories
are
(fan, interior lights, etc.).
eadlights must be in
position, not
T position. To prevent overloading of a
vehicle fuse or other vehicle damage, do
not use the memory saver through the
BDII port if the vehicle’s current draw is 4
amps or more when the vehicle is in a EY
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
position and wait
•5•
5 minutes. This ensures that all retained
accessories are in a power
state (for
e ample: fan, headlights, etc.).
3. onnect the BD diagnostic connector
to the vehicle’s BD plug. ake sure the
connector is fully engaged.
4. Disconnect the vehicle’s battery cables
and cover the positive and negative
cables with an insulator, such as electrical
tape. This prevents the connectors from
touching metal, each other, or the chassis
and causing a short circuit, due to the
vehicle’s electrical system receiving
power through the BD connection.
WARNING: When working with the vehicle’s
battery, review all of the battery
manufacturer’s safety instructions, warnings
and directives regarding battery
disconnection, removal and replacement.
5. Remove the old battery and put the new
battery into position.
6. Remove the insulator from the positive
cable and connect it to the positive
terminal of the new battery.
7. Remove the insulator from the negative
cable and connect it to the negative
terminal of the new battery.
8. nce the new battery is connected,
unplug the memory saver’s BD
connector from the vehicle’s BD plug.
POWERING A 12V DC DEVICE:
The memory saver is a power source for all
D accessories that are e uipped with
a
accessory plug. se it for power
trip and disconnect the power to the
device. Disconnect the
D device.
The breaker will automatically reset after
an overload occurs.
IMPORTANT: The D power outlet is wired
directly to the internal battery. E tended
operation of a
D device may result
in e cessive battery drain. Recharge
immediately after unplugging the
D
device.
IMPORTANT: Do not power a
device
with the memory saver while using the BD
connector to power the on-board diagnostic
computer. Doing so will drain the memory
saver’s internal battery and reduce available
run time.
ake sure the device to be powered is
before inserting the
D accessory plug
into the
D accessory outlet.
1. pen the protective cover of the D power
outlet on the front of the memory saver.
2. lug the
D device into the D
power outlet, and turn on the
D
device (if re uired).
3. If the
D device draws more than
15A or has a short circuit, the internal
circuit breaker of the memory saver will
USING USB OUTLET:
The memory saver provides SB outlet
for SB charging.
1. lug the SB cable into the SB outlet.
2. ress the SB switch button to open
SB output, the SB status LED will
glow, indicating SB output is on.
3.
ress the SB switch button again
once finished using.
MAINTENANCE AND CARE
•
se a dry cloth to wipe all battery corrosion
and other dirt or oil from the cords and the
memory saver case.
