6.3 Charging the Booster’s Internal Battery using the Included Charger
IMPORTANT
Only use the charger that was included with the booster to charge the internal battery of the
booster. Using any other charger or using the included charger for any other purpose could
result in personal injury or property damage.
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK OR FIRE.
6.4 This battery charger is for use on a nominal 230V, 50 Hz circuit. The plug must
be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances. The plug pins must fit the receptacle (outlet).
6.5
DANGER
Never alter the AC cord or plug provided – if it does not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician. An improper connection can result in a risk of an electric shock or electrocution.
6.6 An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of an improper extension cord could
result in a risk of fire and electric shock. If an extension cord must be used, make sure:
• That the pins on the plug of the extension cord are the same number, size and shape as those of the plug on
the charger.
• That the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition.
• That the wire size is large enough for the AC ampere rating of the charger.
Recommended minimum AWG size for extension cord:
• 30.5 meters long or less – use a 1.0 mm
2
extension cord.
• Over 30.5 meters long – use a 1.25 mm
2
extension cord.
6.7 Charging
1. Make sure that both the charger and booster are placed on a dry, nonflammable surface. To charge the
booster, connect the charger included into the charging port that is located on the side of the booster.
2. Confirm the AC outlet voltage matches the input voltage of the charger.
3. Connect the charger into the electrical wall outlet and confirm that the green POWER LED on the
charger turns on.
4. Check that the yellow CHARGING LED in charger starts pulsing slowly to indicate that charge process
has started. To know status of the charge, check the percentage shown at the display in booster.
5. When the display in booster shows 100 (%), the internal battery is fully charged and the booster is ready
to use. Complete charging may take up to 24 hours.
NOTE: The yellow CHARGING LED on the charge will remain flashing after display shows 100%,
because charger enters automatically into maintaining mode.
6. After charge is complete, disconnect the charger from the AC outlet, then disconnect the charger from booster.

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 in the storage holders.
2. Charge the booster as soon as possible after using the feature.
