Voltage/charging LED indicator lights
To check the voltage level of the internal battery, turn the LED voltage meter switch
to the ON position. This
switch operates a series of five LED’s which provide a visual reading of the internal battery charge level.
When all five LED’s are illuminated, the internal battery is fully charged. Three or four LED’s indicate a
diminished charge. One or two LED’s indicate that the battery is nearly depleted.When no LED’s are
illuminated, the battery is fully depleted.
The power pack may be recharged either from a 12V vehicle battery or from a standard 230V/A.C. household
outlet. The A.C. charging adaptor plugs directly into the A.C. charging input socket
on the unit.
The 12V/D.C. charging cord
is equipped with an adaptor which plugs into the cigarette lighter socket in
your vehicle. LED A also serves as a charging indicator and will remain on while the battery is being charged.
When the battery is fully charged, this LED will flash.
If fully depleted, the battery may require up to 36 hours to recharge. A partially depleted battery will recharge
in approximately 8 to 10 hours. During recharging, turn the meter on periodically to check the battery charge
level.
NOTE:-
■
Do not charge the battery for more than 36 continuous hours or permanent damage to the unit may result.
■
To avoid serious damage to the unit, do not attempt to recharge it with any charging cords other than those
supplied with the unit.
■
If charging from a vehicle the vehicle engine must be running. Failure to do this will result in the vehicle
battery becoming depleted.
■
When recharging, the LED indicator will flicker, as the unit becomes fully charged the indicator will
repeatedly flash, stop then flash.

Access the negative terminal which is located in the compartment
at the lower right side of the unit.
Repeat the connection process as described above in step
&
.
(
Connect the red terminal clamp on the positive power cable to the positive (+) terminal on the vehicle
battery. Make certain the connection is secure.
)
Earth the black terminal clamp on the negative power cable by attaching it to a metal section of the vehicle
chassis as far removed from the vehicle battery as practical. Make certain the connection is secure.
*
Start the vehicle.
+
Disconnect the negative (-) power cable from the vehicle earth point.
