LCD Display Detail

Overview

COMMON ACTIONS AND UNIT RESPONSES
The following actions turn the unit on and activate the LCD screen:

NOTE: The unit will automatically power off once ALL the functions and the charging process are turned off.

Viewing Battery Status

The Battery Status Icon and Battery Voltage Indicator indicate the battery charge level as follows:

• If the battery charge level is at full capacity, four solid bars will display.
• If the battery is partially charged, two or three solid bars will display.
• If the battery is nearly empty, one solid bar will display. The unit should be charged at this time.
• If the battery is completely empty, four blank bars will display. The unit MUST be charged at this time or the unit's built-in low voltage protection will activate. The empty Battery Status Icon will flash for a short period of time before automatic shut down. The unit will not operate until the battery is recharged.

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 should be recharged at least every 30 days and after each use.

Important Charging Notes

1. This unit is delivered in a partially charged state – you must fully charge it before using it for the first time. Initial AC charge should be for 40 hours or until the Battery Status Icon shows 4 solid bars.
2. Recharging the battery after each use will prolong battery life; frequent heavy discharges between recharges and/or overcharging will reduce battery life.
3. The battery can be recharged using the built-in 120 Volt AC Charger or the 12 Volt DC Adapter.
4. Make sure all other unit functions are turned off during recharging, as they can slow the recharging process.

To reduce the risk of property damage: Failure to keep the battery charged will cause permanent damage and result in poor jump starting performance.

If you know the unit is discharged, but the battery icon displays four solid bars as if the unit is fully charged when connected to a charging power source, this may be due to the internal battery having high impedance. The manufacturer suggests leaving the unit charging for a period of 40 hours using the built-in AC charger before use.

Charging/Recharging Using the Built-In 120 Volt AC Charger and AC Extension Cord (not supplied)

1. Lift the protective cover of the built-in 120 Volt AC Charger located on the back of the unit (refer to Fig. 1 to locate). Connect an extension cord to the unit. Plug the other end of the cord into a standard 120-volt AC wall outlet. When the unit is properly connected to an AC power source, the LCD screen will display the following:
   
   The bars on the Battery Status Icon represent the charge level of the unit's internal battery. The bars on the Battery Status Icon will change from empty to solid (bottom to top) repeatedly to indicate the unit is charging. The backlight will turn on for 10 seconds (only).
2. Charge for approximately 40 hours or until the Battery Status Icon shows 4 solid bars.
3. When charging is complete, unplug the AC extension cord from the AC outlet and then disconnect it from the unit.

Charging the Unit Using the 12V DC Charging Adapter

To reduce the risk of property damage:

• NEVER connect this unit to a positive grounded vehicle using the 12 Volt DC Charging Adapter.
