USE AS A JUMP STARTER IN EMERGENCIES
For optimum performance, do not store below 50 F when using as a jump starter. The portable power source
will only jump start a battery if there is more than 3 Vdc of power remaining in the battery. If the battery is
below 3 Vdc, please refer to, “Operating Instructions: Use as a battery charger”, and follow the instructions to
recharge the battery.
1. Ignition MUST be turned off before making cable connections.
2. Be sure you operate the portable power source in a well ventilated area.
3. Be sure eyes are appropriately protected with safety eyewear.
4. Attach the red (po) clamp to the positive terminal on the battery.
5. Attach the black (negative -) clamp to the vehicle frame.
6. Be sure that all cables are clear of moving belts or fan blades.
7. Keep a safe distance from battery while jump starting.
8. Turn on the vehicle ignition. If the vehicle does not start after 6 seconds, let the portable power source
cool for 3 minutes before attempting to start the vehicle again. Damage could result to the unit if this is
not done.
9. After the vehicle has started, disconnect the black (negative -) clamp to the vehicle frame. Then remove
the red (po) from the battery terminal. The yellow Charging light will remain lit until the red
(po) cable is disconnected from the battery. After use, store the clamps in the compartments.
USE AS AN ALTERNATIVE POWER SUPPLY
Since most vehicles have electronic components (alarm systems, radios, etc.) whose memory can be lost
when the battery is disconnected, the portable power source is a useful tool when replacing a battery. By
connecting the DC extension cord to the vehicle’s cigarette lighter, the memory can be retained.
USE AS A MULTI-PURPOSE POWER SOURCE
1. The portable power source can also be used to power any equipment that incorporates a 12 Vdc male
adapter. The dc outlet on the portable power source comes equipped with overload protection. DC
power will be generated only through the dc outlet.
2. Used with an inverter, the portable power source can operate appliances normally powered by 120 Vac
or 220 Vac. A 300 Watt maximum inverter is recommended.
TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Charger works well but there is no Volt change on volt meter when the wall charger is connected to the
portable power source.
a. Possible defective battery or faulty breaker. Try using a device (light, TV etc.) with a dc plug on it to
see if it works. .
b. If it works, the portable power source breaker is operational and the battery may be the issue.
2. Charger comes up full charge but test button pressed, volt meter shows low voltage.
a. Portable power source has a defective battery. May be caused by intense use without allowing a
cool down period.
b. Use a dc plug to connect other battery or device to see if volt meter analog indicator moves. If not,
replace volt meter.
3. Portable power source is fully charged but has no power.
a. Check where the wire meets the jaw on the portable power source clamp. Make sure they are well
crimped, or if your unit has a power switch, make sure it is in the on position.
4. When trying to use an accessory through the dc outlet, a clicking Sound comes from inside the portable
power source.
a. The accessory is drawing too many amps, causing the internal circuit breaker to cycle ON and OFF.
