Spike Surge Protector
Many times when using battery “Jumper Cables” a
voltage surge (spike) is created when attaching the
cables to your battery or the second battery system
involved.
Your OBD unit is equipped with a voltage spike
protector designed to shield sensitive engine
computer system components from the harmful
affects of these surges. In addition, it will also
protect plug-in 12-volt accessories such as your
radar detector, cellular phone, personal computer,
etc., from momentary voltage surges during “jump
starting” or external battery charging.
As there are many different component, accessories
and systems and the amount of voltage surges
cannot be fully determined, we cannot guarantee
total 100% protection in all installations. Therefore,
always be very careful to follow the jumper cable
manufacturer’s safety and installation – connection
instructions. ■
