7. Clamp the negative (black –) clamp to the vehicle frame (ground).
Note: Make sure the cables are not in the path of moving engine parts (belts,
fans, etc.).
8. Once connected, the Green Status LED should light, indicating a proper battery
connection is made.
8a. If the Red Warning LED lights and a Warning Buzzer sounds, this indicates a
reverse connection. Disconnect from vehicle immediately and properly connect
to vehicle.
8b. If a proper connection has been made, but no LEDs are lit, the vehicle’s
battery may be too low for the PP15 to sense its polarity. If you check that all
connections are correct (including unit cable connection), you can circumvent
this protection by depressing the round Override Button on the front of the unit
The Green Status LED should now light.
9. Stay clear of batteries while jump starting.
10. Start the vehicle (turn on the vehicle ignition).
Note: If the vehicle doesn’t start within 6 seconds, let the CHARGE IT! cool for
3 minutes before attempting to start the vehicle again or you may damage the
CarStart.
Note: During very cold conditions, the unit may not start on the first attempt. We
suggest attempting to start a second or third time, as the starting attempt will
warm the internal battery and improve your starting chances. Do not attempt to
jump start after four attempts – either the unit does not have sufficient power
to start the vehicle or there is a more extensive problem with the vehicle than
simply a depleted battery.
11. When the vehicle is started, disconnect the negative (–) battery clamp from the
vehicle frame.
12. Disconnect the positive (+) clamp.
13. Disconnect output cables/clamps and properly store them for the next use.
