• Never allow battery acid to come in contact with this unit.
• Do not operate this unit in a closed area or restrict ventilation in any way.
• This system is designed to be used only on vehicles with a 12 volt DC battery system. Do not connect to a 6 volt or 24 volt battery
system.
• This system is not designed to be used as a replacement for a vehicular battery. Do not attempt to operate a vehicle that does not
have a battery installed.
• Excessive engine cranking can damage a vehicle' s starter motor. If the engine fails to start after the recommended number of
attempts, discontinue jump-start procedures and look for other problems that may need to be corrected.
• Do not use this jump starter on a watercraft. It is not qualified for marine applications.
• Although this unit contains a non-spillable battery, it is recommended that unit be kept upright during storage, use and
recharging. To avoid possible damage that may shorten the unit' s working life, protect it from direct sunlight, direct heat and/or
moisture.
• FIRST AID – SKIN: If battery acid comes in contact with skin, rinse immediately with water, then wash thoroughly with soap and
water. If redness, pain, or irritation occurs, seek immediate medical attention.
EYES: If battery acid comes in contact with eyes, flush eyes immediately, for a minimum of 15 minutes and seek immediate
medical attention.
LCD LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY: If liquid crystal comes in contact with your skin: Wash area off completely with plenty of water.

INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on purchasing your new Digital Portable Power Station. 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 60
days.
IMPORTANT: If you attempt to use the unit when the unit' s battery charge level is too low, the unit will automatically shut down.
Recharge the unit with all other functions turned off as soon as possible.
Notes:
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 14 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 the 120 Volt AC Charger.
Make sure all other unit functions are turned off during recharging, as this can slow the recharging process.
120 Volt AC Charging
1. Insert the barrel connector of the 120 volt AC charger into the 12 volt DC charging port on the side of the unit. Insert the plug
end into a (powered) standard North American 120 volt 60Hz outlet. The LCD screen will display the following:
The digital display shows the unit' s internal battery voltage. The bars on the battery icon represent the capacity level of the
unit' s internal battery. The bars on the battery icon will change from empty to solid (bottom to top) repeatedly to indicate the
unit is charging.
Note: If the unit on/off button is pressed while the 120 volt AC charger is plugged in, the LCD screen will display the following:
The 5V USB icon will display and the bars on the battery icon will continue to change from empty to solid (bottom to top)
repeatedly to indicate the unit is still charging.
2. Charge for approximately 14 hours. The unit is fully charged when the battery icon shows 4 solid bars.
3. When charging is complete, unplug the 120 volt AC charger from the AC outlet, then disconnect the barrel connector from the
12 volt DC charging port. Store the charger in a dry, safe place.

JUMP-STARTER

This unit is equipped with a jump starter on/off button that allows energy to flow only when proper connections are made to
battery and frame. Take the following steps, observing all cautions and warnings in the "Important Safety Instructions"section at
the front of this manual.
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 unit on/off and jump-starter on/off (Start) buttons are turned 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)
4a. Connect positive (+) red clamp to vehicle battery' s positive terminal.
4b. 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.
5a. Connect negative (–) black clamp to vehicle battery' s negative terminal.
5b. 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 the clamps are connected properly, press the unit on/off button, then the jump-starter on/off (Start) button. The LCD
screen will display the following to indicate the unit is ready to jump-start:
IMPORTANT: If the clamps are disconnected from the battery, the LCD screen will display the following (the "- - -" icon will
flash) until the clamps are connected:
IMPORTANT: If the clamps are INCORRECTLY connected with regard to polarity, the LCD screen will display the following (the "-
- -" icon and the arrows pointing to the "+"and "–"will flash) until the clamps are disconnected:
Disconnect clamps and reconnect to battery with correct polarity.
IMPORTANT: If the clamps are INCORRECTLY connected with regard to short-circuit, the LCD screen will display the following
(the clamp icons and the "- - -" icon will flash) until the clamps are disconnected:
Disconnect clamps and discontinue the jump-starting procedure.
a. Check the wires for damage. If damaged, return to manufacturer for replacement immediately.
b. Assure that the vehicle has a 12 volt DC battery system. This power system is to be used ONLY on vehicles with 12 volt DC
battery systems.
8. After the engine starts, press the jump-starter on/off (Start) button, then unit on/off button to turn the unit off.
9. Disconnect the negative (–) engine or chassis clamp first, then disconnect the positive (+) battery clamp.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE:
• FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOUND IN THE "SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR JUMP STARTERS" SECTION OF
THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL.
• Never touch red and black clamps together — this can cause dangerous sparks, power arcing, and/or explosion.
• Always turn the unit off when not in use.
• Replace worn or defective parts immediately — contact manufacturer at (877) 571-2391.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE:
• Vehicles that have on-board computerized systems may be damaged if vehicle battery is jump-started. Before jump-starting this
type of vehicle, read the vehicle manual to confirm that external-starting assistance is advised.
