Important Safety Instructions

WARNING: Charge unit fully prior to use.

  

Keep unit clear of fire and water. The 400W mobile power pack is not 

intended for use in connection with life support systems or other medical 

equipment or devices.

WARNING: Shock hazard

.  

Keep away from children. The power pack generates the same potentially 

lethal AC power as a normal household wall outlet. Do not insert foreign 

objects into the AC outlet, the DC power pack socket, the jump start cable 

port, or the ventilation hole, do not expose this product to water, rain, snow, 

condensation, or spray. Do not open the power pack expect to replace the 

internal battery. Have a qualified technician perform any service work.

WARNING: Explosion hazard

Do not use this product where there are flammable fumes or gases, such as 

in the bilge of a gasoline-powered boat, or near propane tanks. Do not use 

this product in an enclosure containing automotive-type lead-acid batteries. 

These batteries, unlike the sealed AGM battery in power pack, vent explosive 

hydrogen gas which can be ignited by sparks from electrical connections.

When working on electrical equipment, always ensure someone is nearby to 

help you in an emergency.

WARNING: Heated surface

Ensure at least 2” (5cm) air space is maintained on all sides of the power 

pack. During operation, keep away from materials that may be affected by 

high temperatures such as blankets, pillows and sleeping bags.

WARNING: Fire hazard

Never allow jump start cables’ red and black clamps to touch each other 

or another common metal conductor. This could cause damage to the unit 

and/or create a sparking/explosion hazard. Always disconnect the jump start 

cables from the unit after use and clip the plastic guard over the jump start 

cable port.
Jump start cable clamps must be connected positive to positive (red clip 

to battery “+”) and negative to negative (black clip to battery “-“or engine 

ground). A reverse polarity connection (positive to negative) may cause 

damage to the unit and/or create a sparking/explosion hazard.
