Boosting Using Battery Clamps; Using Usb Port/Area Light; Troubleshooting - Black & Decker POWER TO GO P2G7B Instruction Manual

BOOSTING USING THE BATTERY CLAMPS
1. Make sure all the unit functions are turned off and the AC Charging Adapter is disconnected.
2. Insert the double barrel tip of the Battery Clamp cable into the double barrel tip of the Double Barrel Charger
Connector (male-to-female and female-to-male) on the left side side of unit.
3. Set up the unit as described in the "Preparing to Charge/Boost Using the Included Battery Clamps" section
of the Important Safety Instructions at the beginning of this manual. Follow all directions and observe all
warnings and cautions.
4. When the unit is properly connected, press the Main Power Button to turn the unit on. The Operating Status
LED Indicator Ring will light one of the three colors (blue, yellow or red) as described in the "Battery Status
(Standby) Mode" section of "Reading the Operating Status LED Indicator Ring".
5. The unit will automatically detect the vehicle battery status and determine the booster period for the vehicle
battery. The Operating Status LED Indicator Ring will flash or light in one of three colors (green, yellow or
red) as described in the "Booster Mode" section of "Reading the Operating Status LED Indicator Ring".
IMPORTANT:
– If it detects that the vehicle battery has sufficient power to charge the unit's internal battery, the unit
may switch to Charging Mode and the Operating Status LED Indicator Ring will flash blue.
– If it detects the unit is overheated, the Operating Status LED Indicator Ring will flash red and blue
alternately to indicate a fault has occurred.
– If it detects the unit's internal battery is in extremely low charged state (0%), the built-in low voltage
protection will activate and the Operating Status LED Indicator Ring will flash red and yellow alternately
before automatically shut down.
– If it detects that the vehicle battery is in fault condition due to lead sulfation or an internal shorted
cell, the Operating Status LED Indicator Ring will flash red and green alternately and the unit will stop
operating until the unit is disconnected from the faulty battery.
6. When the Operating Status LED Indicator Ring lights solid green, the vehicle is ready to be started.
7. Turn on the ignition and crank the engine in 5-6 second bursts until the engine starts.
– If the vehicle doesn't start after the first attempt; press the Main Power Button to turn the unit off and
allow a resting/cooling period of 4 to 5 minutes before a making second attempt.
– If a second attempt doesn't start the vehicle, discontinue use and look for other problems that need to
be corrected. The battery may be damaged.
8. When the process is completed, press the Main Power Button to turn the unit off. First remove the clamp
from vehicle chassis, and then remove the clamp from the battery terminal. Disconnect the double barrel
tip of the Battery Clamp cable from the Double Barrel Charger Connector. Store the Battery Clamps in a safe
place. Recharge the unit fully.
Note:
If the unit remains connected to the vehicle after starting and the Main Power Button has not been turned off, the unit will revert to
Charging Mode. The Operating Status LED Indicator Ring will flash blue, indicating the unit' s internal battery is charging from the
vehicle battery.
USING THE USB PORT
The USB Port is located on the right side of the unit. Refer to the "Features" section to locate.
1. Make sure the AC Charging Adapter is disconnected.
2. Press the Main Power Button to turn the unit on.
3. Press and hold the USB/Light Button for about two seconds and then release. The USB Power/Fault
Indicator will light blue, indicating the USB Port is ready to use.
4. Plug the USB-powered device into the USB Port and operate normally.
5. Press and hold the USB/Light Button for about two seconds again and then release to turn off the USB Port.
Press the Main Power Button to turn the unit off.
Periodically check the unit's internal battery status (refer to the "Reading the Operating Status LED Indicator
Ring" section for details).
Recharge the unit fully after each use. Make sure the Main Power Button is switched off (the the Operating
Status LED Indicator Ring is not lit) when the unit is being recharged or stored.
Notes:
This unit' s USB port does not support data communication. It only provides 5 volts/2,000mA DC power to an external USB-powered
device.
Some USB-powered household electronics may not operate with this USB port. Check the manual of the corresponding electronic
device to confirm that it can be used with this type of USB port.
The USB Power/Fault Indicator will flash blue to indicate a low battery, overload, or short circuit fault condition before automatic
shutdown occurs.
