4. The jump starter will fully charge in 2-3 hours. When the unit is fully
charged, the display will show “100%”.
5. When the battery is fully charged, disconnect the wall charger from the

8. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
8.1 JUMP STARTING A VEHICLE ENGINE
IMPORTANT: Do not use the jump starter while charging its internal battery.
IMPORTANT: Using the jump starter without a battery installed in the
vehicle will damage the vehicle’s electrical system.
NOTE: The internal battery must have a charge if at least 40% to
jump start a vehicle.
1. Turn the ignition OFF.
2. Lay the DC cables away from any fan blades, belts, pulleys and other
moving parts. Make sure all of the vehicle’s electrical devices are turned off.
3. For a negative-grounded vehicle, connect the POSITIVE (RED) clamp
from the jump starter 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. For a positive-grounded vehicle, connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK)
clamp from the jump starter 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.
5. Plug the battery clamp cable into the jump starter’s output socket.
6. Slide the ON/OFF switch to the ON position. Press and hold the
button on the smart cable for 1 second. The green LED should light.
NOTE: If the vehicle battery is extremely discharged, the initial current
draw from the jump starter may activate short circuit protection in the
smart cable. When the condition is corrected, the smart cable will
automatically reset.
7. After a proper connection has been made, crank the engine. If the engine
does not start within 5-8 seconds, stop cranking and wait at least 1 minute
before attempting to start the vehicle again.
