4. FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN CONNECTING TO A BATTERY
WARNING! A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE A BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY:
4.1
Attach the output cables to the battery and chassis as indicated below. Never allow the output clamps to touch each other.
4.2
Position the DC cables to reduce the risk of damage by the hood, door and moving or hot engine parts. NOTE: If it is necessary to close the hood during the jump starting
process, ensure that the hood does not touch the metal part of the battery clips or cut the insulation of the cables.
4.3
Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys and other parts that can cause injury.
4.4
Check the polarity of the battery posts. The POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually has a larger diameter than the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
4.5
Determine which post of the battery is grounded (connected) to the chassis. If the negative post is grounded to the chassis (as in most vehicles), see step 4.6. If the
positive post is grounded to the chassis, see step 4.7.
4.6
For a negative-grounded vehicle, connect the POSITIVE (RED) clamp from the Power Pack to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +) ungrounded post of the battery. Connect the
NEGATIVE (BLACK) 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.
4.7
For a positive-grounded vehicle, connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) clamp from the Power Pack 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.
4.8
When disconnecting the unit, press the jump start button to turn off, remove the clamp from the vehicle chassis, then remove the clamp from the battery terminal.

DIGITAL DISPLAY
When the clamps are connected to a vehicle’s battery, the digital display indicates the battery’s voltage. When not connected to a battery, the digital display is used to indicate the
percent of charge of the jump starter’s internal battery. See Display Messages for a complete list of messages.
NOTE: If the vehicle’s battery voltage is too low to detect, the display will remain blank; the voltage will not display. A manual start procedure is required to enable the jump start
function. See Section 8.2, Starting a Battery with Low Voltage.
NOTE: During charging, the display will go into sleep mode and will not display any messages. To turn the display back on, press any button.
LED INDICATOR
Green LED solid – The internal battery is charging.
Green LED flashing – Charging has aborted.
Green LED pulsing – The internal battery is fully charged.
Red LED solid
–
The clamps are connected backwards to a battery.
FUNCTION BUTTONS
LIGHT – Operates the LED light
12V/USB – Enables the 12V DC port and the USB port
JUMP START – Enables the jump start function
7. CHARGING THE INTERNAL BATTERY
IMPORTANT! CHARGE IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASE, AFTER EACH USE AND EVERY 3-6 MONTHS, TO KEEP THE INTERNAL BATTERY FULLY CHARGED AND
PROLONG BATTERY LIFE.
7.1
To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug the unit’s wall charger from the outlet before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Simply turning off the controls will not
reduce this risk.
7.2
When charging the internal battery, work in a well ventilated area and do not restrict the ventilation in any way.
7.3
CHECKING THE LEVEL OF THE INTERNAL BATTERY
To check the internal battery’s charge level, make sure the unit is turned OFF, then press the or
button. The digital display will show the battery’s percent of charge.
A fully charged internal battery will read 100%. Charge the internal battery if the display shows it is under 100%.
