PROBLEM
SOLUTION
Unit works well but no change in light status when
the adaptor is connected to the RoadStart unit.
Possible defective battery or faulty breaker. Use a device such as a light with a dc
plug to check that it works. If the light works, the power source
breaker is serviceable and the battery is defective.
When the adaptor is plugged into the RoadStart unit
all LEDs light. When the adaptor is unplugged and
the test button depressed, no LEDs light.
Roadstart unit battery defective which could have been caused by intense use
without a cool-down period.
Roadstart unit is fully charged but delivers no power.
Check where the wires meets the jaw on the unit clamps. Ensure they are well
crimped.
If the unit has a power switch, ensure that it is in the ON position.
When trying to use an
accessory via the dc outlet, a clicking sound is heard
inside the RoadStart unit.
The accessory is drawing too much
current, resulting in the internal circuit breaker switching between ON and OFF.
