INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on selecting the VECTOR

®

JUMP-STARTER and 12 VOLT DC POWER

SUPPLY. This compact jump-starter is unique in the amount of energy it can supply for
its size. The internal battery is a high density sealed, lead-acid battery that stores and
delivers energy comparable to full sized ordinary jump-starters. Please read this
guide carefully before use to ensure optimum performance and avoid damage to the
unit or items that you are using it with. 

The VECTOR

®

JUMP-STARTER & 12 VOLT DC POWER SUPPLY is a compact, durable

and portable jump-start system for vehicles and boats that have a standard 12 Volt
battery system. This self-contained, rechargeable system will start most vehicles and
boats without the need for a host vehicle or 110/120 Volt AC power supply. It 
can also be used as a safe, portable source of 12 Volt DC electric power in remote
locations and/or emergency situations. It is ideal for use with Vector 12 Volt DC 
cordless, portable, rechargeable products and MAXXSST DC/AC Power Inverters.

Use the VECTOR JUMP-START SYSTEM to:

Jump-start any engine system with a standard 12 Volt DC battery:

boat; truck; car; air-

plane; RV; personal watercraft; snowmobile; garden tractor; gasoline engine
generator, etc.

Operate:

12 Volt DC fans, inflators, fluorescent worklights, cellular phones (can

quick-charge a cellular phone by using the phone’s 12 Volt DC adapter cord),
spotlights, TVs, portable radios, cassette or CD players, and more.   

Operate:

Certain 110/120 Volt AC Accessories (requires a Vector 12 volt power

inverter, sold separately).

The JUMP-START SYSTEM has an easy-to-read series of LED (Light Emitting Diode)
charge indicators that show when the unit is fully charged, or the level of charge in
the battery. Charge level can be viewed when the charge status push button is
pressed. A 12 Volt DC power accessory socket is provided for use with appliances
that can operate from a vehicle 12 Volt DC accessory outlet. This allows maximum
portability and utility when the Jump-Start System is used in remote locations.

The Jump-Start System  can be recharged from any standard 110/120 Volt AC power
source using the supplied AC Recharge Adapter. The adapter barrel connector 
attaches to the Recharge Port on the top panel of the jump-starter.  A built-in 12 Volt
appliance socket and the appropriate DC/DC charging/adapter cord is used to
recharge the battery from another 12 Volt DC source. When pressed, the CHARGE
STATUS button will show the battery power level status (from Low to Full). The green
LED full indicator illuminates when the unit is fully recharged and charging can be 
discontinued. An ON/OFF switch operates the built-in work/emergency light.
