INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing the 500 Amp Slim Jump-Starter. This compact jump-starter is unique in the amount of energy it can
supply for its size. The internal battery is a high density sealed, lead-acid battery that stores and delivers energy comparable to
full sized ordinary jump-starters. Please read this guide carefully before use to ensure optimum performance and avoid damage
to the unit or items that you are using it with.
The 500 Amp Slim Jump-Starter is a compact, durable, portable jump-start system for vehicles that have a standard 12 volt
battery system. This self-contained, rechargeable system will start most vehicles without the need for a host vehicle or 12 volt
DC power supply. It can also be used as a portable source of 12 volt DC electric power in remote locations and/or emergency
situations. It is ideal for use with 12 volt DC cordless, portable, rechargeable products and DC/AC power inverters.

CHARGING/RECHARGING
This product has a sealed lead acid battery. For maximum battery life, we recommend the Jump-Starter be kept fully charged at
all times. Recharge before first use, immediately after each use, and once a month if not used. Failure to do this may reduce the
battery life dramatically. To check the battery charge status at any time, press the Battery Charge Level Pushbutton.
Note: 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 24 hours.
Charging/Recharging Using the 120 Volt 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 120 volt AC wall outlet.
2. Charge until three Red and one Green LED Battery Status Indicators light.
3. Once fully charged, disconnect the extension cord.
Note: The unit cannot be overcharged using the AC 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)
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.
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.
