OPERATION

Checking Jump-Starter Battery Status

Press and hold the battery status button, located on the front of the unit, to check the Jump-Starter
battery charge level. The battery indicator display will indicate battery charge state as a percentage of
the full battery capacity.

Low Charge Alert (LCA)

When the battery level drops to "LO," an alarm will sound to remind the user to recharge the Jump-
Starter. When the low charge alert alarm sounds, the Jump-Starter should be charged as soon as
possible. Pressing the battery test button will silence the alarm for 1 hour.

Reset Button

Starter may need to be reset. Use a small, thin object such as a paper clip to push in the reset button.
When the reset button is being pushed in, the green LED will light momentarily.
