5. For a positive-grounded vehicle, connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK)
clamp from the jump starter to the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) ungrounded
post of the battery. Connect the POSITIVE (RED) clamp to the vehicle
chassis or engine block away from the battery. Do not connect the
clamp to the carburetor, fuel lines or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to
a heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine block.
6. The green LED on the smart cable should light.
NOTE: If the vehicle battery is extremely discharged, the initial current
draw from the jump starter may activate short circuit protection in the
smart cable. When the condition is corrected, the smart cable will
automatically reset.
7. After a proper connection has been made, crank the engine. If the engine
does not start within 5-8 seconds, stop cranking and wait at least 1 minute
before attempting to start the vehicle again.
NOTE: If the car does not crank a second time, check the smart
cable to see if the green LED is lit. If you hear beeping or an LED is
flashing, refer to section 10, Troubleshooting. When the condition is
corrected, the smart cable will automatically reset.
NOTE: Cold weather may affect the performance of the jump starter's
lithium battery. If you hear only a click and the engine does not turn
over, try the following:
With the jump starter connected to the car battery and the green LED
illuminated on the smart cable, turn on all lights and electrical accessories for
one minute. This draws current from the jump starter and warms the battery.
Now try to crank the engine. If it does not turn over, repeat the procedure.
Extremely cold weather may require two or three battery warmings before
the engine will start.
NOTE: If no activity is detected, the smart cable will automatically shut
off after 90 seconds, and the red and green LEDs will be solid. To reset,
disconnect the clamps from the vehicle battery, and then reconnect.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT attempt to jump start your vehicle more
than three consecutive times. If the vehicle will not start after three
attempts, consult a service technician.
8. After the engine starts, unplug the battery clamps from the jump
starter socket and then disconnect the black clamp (-) and the red
clamp (+), in that order.
9. Recharge the unit as soon as possible after each use.
7.2 CHARGING A MOBILE DEVICE, USING THE USB PORTS
The unit includes two USB output ports. The standard one provides
up to 2.4A at 5V DC. The second is a USB Fast Charging port, which
provides up to 5V at 3A, 9V at 2A or 12V at 1.5A.
1. Consult your mobile device manufacturer for proper charging power
specifications. Connect a mobile device cable to the appropriate USB port.
2. Charging should begin automatically. The display will show which port
is in use.
3. Charging time will vary, based on the mobile device's battery size and
the charging port used.
NOTE: Most devices will charge with any of the USB ports, but may
charge at a slower rate.
