READING THE OPERATING STATUS LED INDICATOR RING
The Operating Status LED Indicator Ring is a translucent ring around the Main Power Button.
Press the Main Power Button to turn the unit on. The Operating Status LED Indicator Ring
lights or flashes in one of four colors, indicating the following:
Battery Status (Standby) Mode
This displays constantly when the unit has been turned on and is not in Charging or Booster Mode.
Blue (solid):
The unit’s internal lithium-ion battery is in a fully charged state (80-100%).
Yellow (solid):
The unit’s internal lithium battery is in a partially charged state (41-79%).
Red (solid):
The unit’s internal lithium-ion battery has low battery power and should be
recharged.
Charging Mode
This displays when the unit’s internal lithium-ion battery is charging using one of the three charging methods –
using the AC Charging Adapter (recommended), the 12V DC Boosting/Charging Cable or the Battery Clamps.
Blue (flashing):
The unit’s battery is charging.
Blue (solid):
The unit’s battery is fully charged.
Booster Mode
This displays when the unit is boosting the vehicle battery using either the 12V DC Boosting/Charging Cable
or the Battery Clamps.
Important:
The length of time for each stage of the boosting process varies depending on ambient
temperature and the condition of the vehicle battery.
Red (flashing):
This continues for up to 25 minutes when the unit detects that the vehicle
battery it is connected to is at low charge level. It will automatically begin the
boosting process. The Operating Status LED Indicator Ring continues to flash
red until the process moves to stage 2, when it changes to flashing yellow.
Yellow (flashing):
This continues for up to 12 minutes until the process moves to stage 3, when
it changes to flashing green.
Green (flashing):
This continues for up to 12 minutes until the process moves to the final stage,
when it changes to solid green.
Green (solid):
The vehicle battery voltage has reached a sufficient charge level that you can
attempt to start the vehicle.
Fault Condition
Red & Blue (flashing
alternately):
A fault condition has been detected. This could include unit overheating or
reverse polarity connection of the battery clamps. The unit will stop operating
until the fault has been corrected.
Red & Green (flashing
alternately):
A vehicle battery fault condition has been detected. This could include lead
sulfation or an internal shorted cell in the vehicle battery. The unit will stop
operating until it is disconnected from the faulty battery.
Red & Yellow (flashing
alternately):
The unit’s internal lithium-ion battery has dropped to a low charged state (0%)
and must be recharged at this time or the unit’s built-in low voltage protection
will activate shortly, when the unit will stop operating until it recharged.
READING THE USB POWER/FAULT INDICATOR
The USB Power/Fault Indicator is a translucent ring around the USB Port. First press the
Main Power Button to turn the unit on. Then press and hold the USB/Light Button
for 2 seconds and then release to turn the USB port on. The USB Power/Fault Indicator
lights or flashes, indicating the following:
Blue (solid):
The USB Port is ready to use.
Blue (flashing):
A USB fault condition has been detected. This could be due to low internal
battery voltage (the unit needs to be charged), overload or short circuit. The
USB port will automatically shut down.
CHARGING/RECHARGING THE UNIT
Lithium-ion batteries require routine maintenance to ensure a full charge and long battery life. All batteries
lose energy from self-discharge over time and more rapidly when they are at higher temperatures. Therefore,
batteries need periodic charging to replace energy lost through self-discharge. When the unit is not in frequent
use, manufacturer recommends the battery be recharged at least every 3-6 months.
IMPORTANT:
If you attempt to use the unit when the unit’s battery charge level is too low, the unit will
automatically shut down. Immediately recharge the unit with all other functions turned off.
Notes:
This unit is delivered in a partially charged state – you must fully charge it after purchase and before using it for the first time. Initial
AC charge should be for up to 8 hours or until the unit shows as fully charged (the unit’s Operating Status LED Indicator Ring lights
solid blue).
Recharging battery after each use will prolong battery life; frequent heavy discharges between recharges will reduce battery life. The
battery should be recharged using the supplied 120 Volt AC Charging Adapter.
Make sure all other unit functions are turned off during recharging, as this can slow the recharging process.
If both the AC Charging Adapter and either the 12V DC Boosting/Charging Cable or battery clamps are connected at the same time,
the AC Charging Adapter will have preference for charging the unit’s battery. However, manufacturer strongly recommends that the AC
Charging Adapter and the 12V DC Boosting/Charging Cable or Battery Clamps not be connected at the same time.
USING THE AC CHARGING ADAPTER (RECOMMENDED)
1. Make sure all the unit functions are turned off.
2. Lift up the AC-DC Charging Port protective cover (on the left side of the unit) and insert the barrel connector
of the supplied AC Charging Adapter into the unit’s AC-DC Charging Port.
3. Insert the plug end into a (powered) standard North American 120 Volt 60Hz outlet.
4. The unit will automatically power on. The Operating Status LED Indicator Ring will flash blue to indicate the
unit is in charging mode.
Note:
If the Operating Status LED Indicator Ring does not come on, check the connection to the AC power source.
5. Charge until the Operating Status LED Indicator Ring changes from flashing to solid blue.
6. When charging is complete, first unplug the AC Charging Adapter from the power source, and then
disconnect the barrel connector of the AC Charging Adapter from the unit. Store the adapter in a safe place
and replace the AC-DC Charging Port rubber protective cover.
USING THE 12V DC BOOSTING/CHARGING CABLE OR INCLUDED
BATTERY CLAMPS
WARNING: TO AVOID THE RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE:
Recharge using these methods only when
necessary. Do not leave the unit unattended when charging using these methods.
12V DC Boosting/Charging Cable
1. Make sure all the unit functions are turned off and the AC Charging Adapter is disconnected.
2. Insert the double barrel tip of the 12V DC Boosting/Charging Cable cable into the Double Barrel Charger
Connector (male-to-female and female-to-male) on the left side side of unit.
3. Insert the grooved tip of the 12V DC Boosting/Charging Cable into the vehicle’s 12 volt DC accessory outlet.
4. When the unit is properly connected, press the Main Power Button to turn the unit on. The Operating
Status LED Indicator Ring will light one of the three colors (blue, yellow or red) to indicate the unit’s
battery status. The unit will automatically detect whether the vehicle battery has sufficient power to charge
