INSTANT JUMPSTART SYSTEM
Disconnect the jumpstart clips from the vehicle’s battery and redo
steps 2 and 3 in this procedure.
If no alarm sounds, and the Green Jumpstart Connection LED is
illuminated, then proceed to the next step.
4. Switch ON the Instant Jumpstart System Power Switch.
To disconnect the jumpstart clips from an external battery and
from the Instant Jumpstart System:
1. Ensure that the Jumpstart Power Switch is OFF.
2. Remove the red positive (+) clip, and then remove the black
negative (–) clip from the external battery terminals.
3. Store the jumpstart clips in the appropriate holder on each side of
the Jumpstart.
4. Recharge the Jumpstart as soon as possible after use.
Instant Jumpstart System Maintenance
Routine maintenance is required to keep your Jumpstart operating
properly. Occasionally clean the exterior of the unit with a damp cloth
to remove the accumulated dust and dirt.
Maintaining the Battery
All rechargeable batteries gradually discharge when left standing, and
you need to recharge them periodically to maintain maximum battery
capacity. The AC Charger supplied with the Jumpstart is designed to
regulate the charging process, ensuring that the battery is always fully
charged but never overcharged. To ensure safe recharging and
maximum battery life, recharge the Jumpstart only with the supplied
charger or approved battery chargers.
Recharging with the AC Charger
See “Recharging with the AC Charger” under “Instant Jumpstart
System Operation”.
Recharging Using the DC Charging Cable
Important:
Although the charge regulation circuitry in the Jumpstart
does not operate with this charging method, most vehicle voltage
regulators will ensure that the Jumpstart is not overcharged.
1. While the vehicle engine is running, plug one end of the DC
Charging Cable into the DC Power Outlet of the Instant Jumpstart
System.
2. Plug the opposite end of the DC Charging Cable into the vehicle’s
lighter socket or 12 V accessory outlet.
3. Once the Instant Jumpstart System is fully charged or if your
vehicle’s engine is not running, disconnect the DC Charging Cable
from both sockets. Most of the Instant Jumpstart System’s capacity
will be restored in 2 ½ hours while the vehicle engine is running.
Note:
The Battery Status LED will not illuminate when the Jumpstart
is recharged through the DC Charging Cable.
Important:
Do not leave the Instant Jumpstart System permanently
connected to the vehicle’s lighter socket or 12 V accessory outlet.
Recharging with a Generator’s Regulated 12 V DC
Outlet
Refer to the Owner’s Guide accompanying your generator for detailed
instructions on connecting a 12V load, like the jumpstart, to your
generator.
You can recharge using a generator in several ways:
•
Using the AC Charger to recharge the Jumpstart from a generator
is possible, but would require extended generator running time.
•
Using a generator which has an auxiliary regulated 12 V DC
output designed for charging 12 V DC batteries. Most generators
are equipped with them. Use this power source for faster charging.
•
Using a generator with a regulated 12 V DC lighter socket. Follow
the connection instructions in “Recharging Using the DC Charging
Cable”.
Recharging from a Solar Panel
Small, unregulated 12 V solar panels rated to produce a maximum of
2.5 A (or 30 W) can be used to charge the Jumpstart through the AC
Charger Input Socket. You will need to purchase a standard 5.5 mm
OD × 2.5 mm ID (0.217 × 0.10") coaxial DC (barrel type centre
positive) connector to mate with the AC Charger Input Socket. These
connectors are available at consumer electronics stores.
1. Connect the solar panel’s red positive (+) wire to the coaxial plug’s
inner or centre contact.
2. Connect the solar panel’s black negative (–) wire to the plug’s
outer contact.
Once the connector is inserted into the AC Charger Input Socket and
the solar panel is placed in the sun, the Jumpstart charges
automatically just as with the AC Charger. It takes about six hours in
direct sunlight to recharge the Jumpstart from a 2.5 A solar panel.
Replacing the Emergency Light Bulb
1. Turn the flashlight switch off.
2. Pop out the plastic lens cover.
3. Gently grasp the bulb and twist clockwise to unscrew the bulb.
Note
:
There’s a triangular notch at the neck of the bulb which
should align with the reflector assembly’s bulb socket collar.
4. Insert a replacement bulb of the same type and rating into the light
reflector assembly.
5. Gently grasp the bulb and twist counter-clockwise to screw the
bulb in.
6. Snap in the lens cover.

Warranty and Return
CAUTION
Do not recharge the Instant Jumpstart System when an external
battery is connected. The AC charger may be damaged.
CAUTION
When charging for the first time, you must completely charge the
Instant Jumpstart System. This may take up to 48 hours.
If not used for a month, or when recharging after use, charging the
Instant Jumpstart System may take 4-5 hours with vehicle DC or up
to 28 hours with household AC.
WARNING
Disconnect all sources of AC power and DC power before
performing any type of maintenance.
CAUTION
Due to inherent self-discharge, lead acid batteries must be charged at
least every month, especially in a warm environment. Leaving a
battery in a discharged state, or not recharging every month, may
result in permanent battery damage and poor jumpstarting
performance.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to recharge the Instant Jumpstart System battery if it
is frozen. Gradually warm the frozen battery to 0°C (32°F) before
recharging.
WARNING
Do not use this recharging method if your vehicle has abnormally
high voltage electrical systems that operate above 15 V DC. This
may lead to accumulations of hydrogen, causing exposure to fire and
explosion hazard.
CAUTION
Do not operate DC appliances while the Jumpstart is being recharged
with the DC Charging Cable from your vehicle.
WARNING
The generator output must be intended for battery charging and have
an output of 15 V or less. An unregulated output or one that exceeds
15 V DC can damage the battery.
This may lead to accumulations of hydrogen, causing exposure to
fire and explosion hazard.
Possible cause
Remedy
Portable device connected
has a high startup surge.
Portable device exceeds Instant
Jumpstart System surge capability, do
not use.
The Instant Jumpstart
System has overheated
due to poor ventilation.
Unplug all devices connected to the 12
V DC power supply socket and switch
off the flashlight. Allow the Instant
Jumpstart System to cool for 15
minutes. Remove objects covering the
Instant Jumpstart System. Move the
Instant Jumpstart System to a cooler
place.
Product(s) connected are
rated at more than the
Instant Jumpstart
System’s continuous
power rating.
Unplug the product that is causing the
overload. Check the 15 A fuse. If it is
blown or damaged, replace it with a
similarly rated fuse (15 A, 32 V). Use a
product with a power rating less than
the Instant Jumpstart System’s
continuous power rating.
Instant Jumpstart System
battery is completely
discharged.
Recharge Instant Jumpstart System.
Possible cause
Remedy
Instant Jumpstart System
battery is completely
discharged.
Recharge Instant Jumpstart System.
Vehicle battery is heavily
discharged or sulfated.
Replace vehicle battery.
Vehicle has 6 V or 24 V
electrical system.
Instant Jumpstart System is not
designed to jumpstart these vehicles.
Possible cause
Remedy
The input charging
voltage is out of range
(charger is defective).
Replace charger.
Vehicle battery is
completely discharged (if
recharging with vehicle
DC).
Recharge vehicle battery.
