Jumpstarting
a
Vehicle
lf
your battery
is
too
weak
to
start
your vehicle, you
can use the
Jumpstart
System.
Make sure
that
the
vehicle's
accessories are all
turned off
(lights,
AC,
heater, radio, etc.)
prior
to
using the
Jumpstart
System. For
maximum power,
make sure
there
are
no
12-volt accessories connected
to the
unit.
Turn
the dome light
of
your vehicle ON.
Even if
your
battery does
not
have
enough "juice"
left to actually make it illuminate.
Plug the Portable Power Source
into your vehicle's
12-volt
power port.
Turn the
ignition
key
to the "accessory"
position.
Push
the
ON/OFF
switch
on
the unit to
turn it ON. The
LED
light
marked "VL"
will
illuminate
AMBER/GREEN.
Your dome light should begin
to brighten, showing that the unit
is charging
your battery.
lf
the dome light was not
lit
before, it should begin
to light up. At
this point, turn your dome light
off
for maximum
charging.
Keep
the Portable Power Source
plugged
in for about 40 minutes. After this
time you
can try to start
your vehicle. lf it
does not start,
DO
NOTTRYTO
START
lT
AGAIN. Wait another 20 minutes before
you try to
start
your vehicle
again.
Your vehicle should start.
After jumpstarting your vehicle,
recharge the Poftable Power Source.
Please be sure
to reference your vehicle's owner's manual. Gheck to
be sure
if
there are any other requirements
for your vehicle when
jumpstarting it.
Power
forYour
12-Volt Accessories
The
12-volt
power pofts will operate most
12-volt accessories
with
a
draw of
10
amps
or
less.
(Check the
accessory
for the
rated amperage.)
Note:
lf
you
connect a dc/ac
power inverter (such as a COLEMAN@
POWERMATE@ PMP200) to the 12-volt
power port in
order
to operate
an
AC
powered
accessory, run
time may
be reduced due
to the design parameters of
the inverter.
Typically,
power invefters
will
shut
off
when input voltage
is
below
10
-
10.5
volts.
So even
though there
is reserve
capacity
in
the
Portable Power
Source,
the inverter may shut down
as
voltage drops below approximately
10.5
volts.
You do not need to plug the unit into your vehicle's
12-volt
power port to
operate a 12-volt accessory. Simply plug the
12-volt
item you wish to
operate
into the power port
on
the
Portable Power Source. This
will
provide
a
portable
power
source
that you
can take
with you
anywhere.
lf
the
LED
light marked "VL" changes from
GREEN/AMBER
to
RED,
discontinue
use IMMEDIATELY lt
is
time to recharge the
unit.
Successfully using
a
Jumpstart
System
Jumpstart
systems,
in general, are designed to provide emergency
battery
power to jumpstart
a
vehicle with
a
low battery.
They are not designed
to
provide long-term battery
backup nor are
they
designed
to operate high
amper-
age equipment or
components
for extended periods
of
time.
Depending on
your vehicle's condition and power requirements,
any
jumpstart
may
or may not provide
adequate
voltage to
successfully start
your
vehicle.
Just
as
your vehicle's battery provides
a
certain amount of reserve capacity,
a
jumpstart system
has
similar limitations. lt is possible that
a
jumpstart's
internal battery may
be
depleted
before
you
can start
your engine. The ambient
temperature
can affect
the performance
of the
jumpstart system. A
battery
at
zero degrees has less reserve capacity
than
a
battery
at
sixty degrees. This
condition applies
to both
a
jumpstart system
and
your vehicle's
battery.
ln
the
event
that your vehicle fails to start after repeated attempts, additional
servicing
or
tune
up
may
be
required.
Consult
your dealership or
local servicing
professional for
advice.
