INTRODUCTION

Read this Instruction Manual and follow the instructions carefully before using this unit.

CHARGING/RECHARGING

Lead-acid batteries require routine maintenance to ensure a full charge and long battery life. All batteries lose energy from self-discharge over time and more rapidly at higher temperatures. Therefore, batteries need periodic charging to replace energy lost through self-discharge. When the unit is not in frequent use, manufacturer recommends the battery be recharged at least every 30 days.

Notes: This unit is delivered in a partially charged state – you must fully charge it upon purchase and before using it for the first time. Initial AC charge should be for 24 hours.
Recharging battery after each use will prolong battery life; frequent heavy discharges between recharges and/or overcharging will reduce battery life. The battery can be recharged using either the Built-In 120 Volt AC Charger.
Make sure all other unit functions are turned off during recharging, as this can slow the recharging process.

RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE: Failure to keep the battery charged will cause permanent damage and result in poor jump starting performance.

Charging/Recharging Using the 120V AC Charger and a Standard Household Extension Cord (not included)

1. Lift the AC adapter cover located on the back of the unit and connect an extension cord to the unit. Plug the other end of the cord into a standard 120V AC wall outlet.
2. Charge until two red and one green LED Battery Status Indicators light.
3. Disconnect the extension cord and depress the battery status button. If all 3 status lights illuminate, the unit is fully charged.

Note: The unit cannot be overcharged using this method.

JUMP-STARTER

This Jump-Starter is equipped with an On/Off Power Switch. Once the connections are properly made, turn the switch on to jump-start the vehicle.

1. Turn off vehicle ignition and all accessories (radio, A/C, lights, connected cell phone chargers, etc.). Place vehicle in "park" and set the emergency brake.
2. Make sure the Jump-Starter Power Switch is turned to off.
3. Remove jumper clamps from clamp tabs. Connect the red clamp first, then the black clamp.
4. Procedure for jump-starting a NEGATIVE GROUNDED SYSTEM (negative battery terminal is connected to chassis) (MOST COMMON)
   1. Connect positive (+) red clamp to vehicle battery's positive terminal.
   2. Connect negative (–) black clamp to chassis or a solid, non-moving, metal vehicle component or body part. Never clamp directly to negative battery terminal or moving part. Refer to the automobile owner's manual.
5. Procedure for jump-starting POSITIVE GROUND SYSTEMS
   Note: In the rare event that the vehicle to be started has a Positive Grounded System (positive battery terminal is connected to chassis), replace steps 4a and 4b above with steps 5a and 5b, then proceed to step 6.
   1. Connect negative (–) black clamp to vehicle battery's negative terminal.
   2. Connect positive (+) red clamp to vehicle chassis or a solid, non-moving, metal vehicle component or body part. Never clamp directly to positive battery terminal or moving part. Refer to the automobile owner's manual.
6. When clamps are connected properly, turn the Jump-Starter Power Switch to ON.
7. Turn ON the ignition and crank the engine in 5-6 second bursts until the engine starts.
8. Turn the Jump-Starter Power Switch back to the OFF position.
