7. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
7.1. Jump starting a vehicle engine
A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE A BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE THE
RISK OF A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY:
1.
Turn the vehicle’s ignition OFF before making cable connections.
2.
Connect the booster to the vehicle’s battery as described in section 4.
If you have connected the clamps backward, an audio alarm will sound. DO NOT turn the booster
ON/OFF switch to the ON position. This could cause serious damage to the booster or the vehicle.
Reverse the connections and the audio alarm will stop.
3.
Turn the booster ON/OFF switch to the ON position.
4.
Crank the engine. If the engine does not start within 8 seconds, stop cranking and wait at least 3
minutes before attempting to start the vehicle again. This permits the booster battery to cool down.
5.
After the engine starts, immediately turn the booster ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.
6.
Disconnect the booster from the vehicle, as described in section 4.6.
7.
Return the battery clamps to the clamp holders. Recharge the booster as soon as possible after use.
7.2. When using the other features of the booster, always observe the following steps:
1.
Ensure the battery clamps are securely clipped on the clamp holders.
2.
Charge the booster as soon as possible after using the feature.
7.3. Powering a 12V DC device:
The booster is a power source for all 12V DC accessories that are equipped with a 12V accessory plug.
Make sure the device to be powered is OFF before inserting the 12V DC accessory plug into the 12V
DC accessory outlet.
1.
Open the protective cover of the DC power outlet on the front of the booster.
2.
Plug the device into the outlet and turn the device on (if required).
3.
If the device draws more than 15A or has a short circuit, the circuit breaker of the booster will trip
and disconnect the power to the device. Disconnect the device and the beaker will automatically
reset. The DC power outlet is wired directly to the internal battery. Extended operation of a 12V
device may result in excessive battery drain. Recharge immediately after unplugging the device.
7.4 Powering a USB Device
The booster is a power source for all accessories that are equipped with a USB plug. The USB port
provides up to 2.1A at 5V DC.
1.
Ensure the battery clamps are securely clipped on the storage holders.
2.
Press the USB button on the front of the unit.
3.
Plug the device into the USB port on the front of the unit.
4.
Turn the USB device on.
5.
Reverse these steps when finished using the USB port.
NOTES: The USB port will shut-off automatically after 60 minutes, if no device is connected. Extended
operation of a USB device may result in excessive battery drain. Recharge the booster immediately
after unplugging the device.
