JUMPSTARTER
JUMPSTART WARNINGS
Failure to follow these instructions may cause damage or explosion.
NOTE: Cranking an engine produces an accumulation of explosive gas above and near the vehicle battery. Before any attempt to jumpstart a vehicle battery, make sure explosive gas is dispelled from the area. Use a cardboard or newspaper fan to wave the gases away from the battery for a few minutes. Do not use plastic or metal sheet—they can produce sparks and ignite the gas.
- Jumpstart cables connected to iOnBoost are ALWAYS live! Never allow the clamps to touch together or contact the same piece of metal.
- Do not attempt to jumpstart your vehicle when iOnBoost is below 75% charge (observe battery status indicator lights on the unit— 75%=3 solid lights).
- Only use this jumpstarter with 12 Volt negative–grounded systems. Most US vehicles have negative (-) battery terminals connected to the vehicle frame. (Negative – Ground). Check the negative battery terminal connecting wire to make sure it also connects to the frame.
- Make sure the jumpstarter clamps get connected to correct polarity (red to positive battery terminal, black to vehicle frame for negative ground systems when jumpstarting).
- Use safety glasses to protect eyes while jumpstarting a battery.
- If the engine fails to start after two 3-second cranking attempts, discontinue jumpstart procedure. Excessive engine cranking can damage the vehicle's starter motor. Look for other problems that may need to be corrected or call for professional service.
- Disconnecting cable clamps is always done in reverse order from connection sequence (see Jumpstart Procedure below).
- Vehicles equipped with on-board computers may be affected if the engine battery is jumpstarted. Read your vehicle owner's manual before attempting to start the vehicle to determine if external starting assistance can be used.
- If the iOnBoost is overloaded while in the jumpstart mode, quickly disconnect the negative then positive clamps. All functions on the iOnBoost will not operate if the unit was overloaded. To recover from overload, let the unit rest for 10 minutes then plug it into a power source for a few minutes to reset the unit. All functions on the iOnBoost will not operate until this is done.
Brief Recap of Sequences for Connection and Disconnection
ORDER OF CONNECTION
- Connect cables to iOnBoost.
- Connect positive (red) clamp to positive battery terminal.
- Connect negative (black) clamp to solid metal ground on engine or frame, away from battery).
ORDER OF DISCONNECTION
- Disconnect negative (black) clamp from frame.
- Disconnect positive (red) clamp from positive battery terminal.
- Disconnect cables from iOnBoost.
Read the remainder of the instructions before using the iOnBoost!
Jumpstart Procedure
- Turn off the vehicle ignition and all accessories (radios, lights, air conditioners), and disconnect electronic devices.
- Set the emergency brake and put vehicles with automatic transmission in park position.
- Determine the polarity of the vehicle's battery terminals. The positive (POS, P, +) battery terminal usually is red and larger in diameter than the negative (NEG, N, −) terminal. If you are unsure, first refer to the vehicle owner's manual. Make sure the negative battery terminal is also connected to the vehicle frame.
- If engine was recently cranked, use a non conductive material (cardboard or a folded newspaper) to wave away (dispel) explosive gases. Do this for a few minutes before any vehicle connections.
- Insert the blue plug of the jumper cables into the iOnBoost's jumper terminal. When fully inserted, the red and green lights on the cable safety block should both flash continuously.
Never allow clamps (positive & negative terminals) to touch together or contact the same piece of metal to prevent short-circuits and arcing. - Securely connect the positive (+) red clamp to the positive (POS, P, +) terminal of the vehicle battery or the remote positive (+) terminal if equipped.
- Securely connect the negative (−) black clamp to a non-moving, metal part of the engine or frame as far away from the vehicle battery as possible.
- When the clamps are properly connected to the battery, the green light on the cable safety block will illuminate (a three-second delay is normal). When the light illuminates steady green, it is safe to proceed in these instructions. If the light fails to illuminate steady green or if any red lights illuminate, consult the troubleshooting section of this manual.
- Place unit on a secure surface away from moving parts.
- Start vehicle engine. Stop if the vehicle does not start after 3 to 4 seconds of engine cranking. Wait 3 to 4 minutes, then try again. If engine does not start after second attempt, discontinue cranking and consult a professional.
- The internal safety timer will automatically disconnect the circuit after 30 seconds to prevent the vehicle battery from reverse charging the unit. Both the red and green lights will illuminate steady. If your vehicle still has not started, disconnect the cables and try the procedure again.
- When finished, disconnect the clamps in reverse sequence of connecting procedure—first disconnect negative (black), then positive (red) clamps. Do not let the clamps touch each other.
- Disconnect the jumper cable assembly from the unit.
- When convenient, completely charge the iOnBoost battery.
- Store the unit in a cool, dry environment, away from flammable materials.
Remember to fully charge the unit every three months.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Jumpstart Warning Lights
The iOnBoost is ready to jumpstart when the cables are connected and a steady green light illuminates on the cable safety block. The following chart displays the combinations of warning lights that occur when the iOnBoost fails to display the ready light:
Warning lights | Type of warning | Solution |
Flashing red and green light | No vehicle battery detected | Check cable connection. |
Cables are not making a good connection | Check terminals for corrosion. Make sure the iOnBoost is fully charged. |
Vehicle battery voltage too high for jumpstarting | Check with a mechanic for other starting related issues. |
Solid red and green lights | 30-second timer has expired; the smart cable has shut down | Disconnect cables from both the battery and the iOnBoost and follow connection procedure again. |
Solid red light (no green) | iOnBoost charge is too low for jumpstarting | The iOnBoost needs to be recharged. |
Flashing red light with alarm (no green) | Short-circuit or reverse polarity | Disconnect immediately and follow proper connection procedure again. |
Over heating | Disconnect and allow unit to cool for 10 minutes. |
Flashing red and green with alarm | Reverse charge | Disconnect the iOnBoost from the vehicle battery immediately. |
