VIEWING BATTERY STATUS
To check the unit's battery charge level, press the Battery Status Button.
The Battery Icon will 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: 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 40 hours.
Recharging battery after each use will prolong battery life; frequent heavy discharges between recharges
and/or overcharging will reduce battery life.
Make sure all other unit functions are turned off during recharging, as this can slow the recharging
process.
CAUTION –
Risk of property damage: Failure to keep the battery
charged will cause permanent damage and result in poor jump starting
performance.
IMPORTANT: 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 included)
1. Lift the protective cover of the built-in 120 volt AC charger located on
the lower left front of the unit (refer to the Features section 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 screen will be backlit):
The bars on the battery icon represent the capacity level of the unit's
internal battery. After 10 seconds, the backlight will shut off.
The bars on the battery icon will change from empty to solid (bottom to
top) repeatedly to indicate the unit is charging.
2. Charge for approximately 40 hours or until the battery 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.
