OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
USING AS A JUMP STARTER
A. Shield eyes and turn the vehicleʼs key to the OFF
position.
B. Make sure the ON/OFF switch of your Jump
Starter is in the OFF (counter-clockwise) position.
C. Connect the RED clamp to the positive (+) post of
the vehicleʼs battery.
D. Connect the BLACK clamp to a non moving metal
(chassis) part of the engine far away from the bat-
tery. Do not connect to carburetor or fuel lines.
Make sure the unit and cables are not in the path
of moving belts or fans. (NEVER connect to the
negative (-) post of the battery on a negative
ground vehicle).
E. If the red REVERSE light comes on and the unit
beeps, verify that the connections are correct. If
they are not, disconnect both clamps and recon-
nect starting at step C. If the green OK light
comes on, proceed to step F. If the connections
are correct and either the red REVERSE light
comes on, or the green OK light does not come
on, the vehicleʼs battery could be bad, DO NOT
proceed to step F, test and/or replace the battery.
F. If the green (OK) light is on turn the ON/OFF
switch of your Jump Starter to the ON (clockwise)
position.
G. Stay away from the batteries while starting the
engine. Turn the vehicleʼs key to the START posi-
tion for a maximum of 3 seconds.
H. If the vehicle does not start, wait at least 3 minutes
before trying again.
J. Once the vehicle has started, ALWAYS turn the
ON/OFF switch of your Jump Starter to the OFF
(counter-clockwise) position.
K. ALWAYS disconnect the clamp connected to a
non moving metal engine part (chassis) first
(BLACK on a negative ground vehicle), then dis-
connect the clamp hooked to the battery terminal
(RED on a negative ground vehicle) and put them
in their storage holsters securely.
L. Be sure to recharge the Jump Starter after every
jumpstart.
OPERATION
Using as a Battery Charger
If a vehicleʼs battery is discharged, you may plug one
end of the 12V charging cord into the 12V socket on
the front of the Jump Starter, then plug the other end
into the vehicleʼs auxiliary power port plug. (note that
some vehicles require that the key be turned to the
accessory position for the auxiliary port to be activat-
ed).
Using as a Power Supply
• Power a 12 Vdc device using the cigarette style
receptacle on the front of the unit.
• Charge or power 5Vdc devices using the USB port
such as cell phones, cameras and tablets.
Note: Press the red BATTERY LEVEL/USB button
and the yellow or green light should come on
to power the USB port. If the green light does
not come on, you should charge the Jump
Starterʼs internal battery as soon as possible
to maximize battery life.
• Be sure to recharge the Jump Starter after every
use.
Battery Level Lights
To check the battery charge level when not charging,
push the red BATTERY LEVEL/USB button to the
left of the BATTERY LEVEL lights. If the green light
comes on, the unit is fully charged. If the green light
does not come on, you should begin charging as
soon as possible or the battery life may be reduced.
Note: Be sure to press the red BATTERY
LEVEL/USB button again (the lights should go
off) or the battery will slowly discharge.
