VIEWING BATTERY
STATUS
The Battery Status Icon and Battery Voltage Indicator indicate the battery charge level
as follows.
• If the battery charge level is at full capacity, four solid bars will display.
• If the battery is partially charged, two or three solid bars will display.
• If the battery is nearly empty, one solid bar will display. The unit should be charged
at this time.
• If the battery is completely empty, four blank bars will display. The unit MUST be
charged at this time or the unit’s built-in low voltage protection will activate. The empty
Battery Status Icon will flash for a short period of time before automatic shut down.
The unit will not operate until the battery is recharged.
CHARGING/RECHARGING
Lead-acid batteries require routine maintenance to ensure a full charge and long battery
life. All batteries lose energy from self-discharge over time and more rapidly at higher
temperatures. Therefore, batteries need periodic charging to replace energy lost through
self-discharge. When the unit is not in frequent use, manufacturer recommends the
battery should be recharged at least every 30 days and after each use.
IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES
1. This unit is delivered in a partially charged state – you must fully charge it before
using it for the first time. Initial AC charge should be for 20 hours or until the
Battery Status Icon shows 4 solid bars.
2. Recharging the battery after each use will prolong battery life; frequent heavy
discharges between recharges and/or overcharging will reduce battery life.
3. Make sure all other unit functions are turned off during recharging, as this can slow
the recharging process.
CAUTION –
Risk of property damage: Failure to keep the battery charged will cause
permanent damage and result in poor jump starting performance.
IMPORTANT:
If you know the unit is discharged, but the battery icon displays four solid
bars as if the unit is fully charged when connected to a charging power source, this may
be due to the internal battery having high impedance. Manufacturer suggests leaving
the unit charging for a period of 20 hours using the supplied AC charger before use.
PROCEDURE
1. Insert the barrel connector of the AC charging adapter into the AC charging port on
the front of the unit (refer to Fig. 2 to locate). Insert the plug end into a (powered)
standard North American 120 volt 60Hz outlet. When the unit is properly connected
to an AC power source, the LCD screen will display the following:
The bars on the Battery Status Icon represent the charge level of the unit’s internal
battery. The bars on the Battery Status Icon will change from empty to solid
(bottom to top) repeatedly to indicate the unit is charging. The backlight will turn on
for 10 seconds (only).
2. Charge for approximately 20 hours or until the Battery Status Icon shows 4 solid bars.
3. When charging is complete, disconnect the AC charging adapter – first unplug
the adapter from the AC power source, then disconnect the barrel connector from
the unit.
WIRELESS CHARGING
The built-in Wireless Charging feature is suitable for most appliances with a Wireless
Charging function.
Before proceeding, check the unit’s battery status on the LCD screen. Four solid bars in
the battery icon indicates a full battery. When the battery level is nearly empty with only
one solid bar, the unit MUST be recharged before use or the unit’s built-in low voltage
protection will activate. The empty Battery Status Icon will flash for a short period of
time before automatic shut down.
CAUTION –
To reduce the risk of property damage: Do not attempt to use the Jump-
Starter or Compressor when using the Wireless Charging function.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
• If the unit does not detect an appliance for 3 minutes, the Wireless Charging function
will shut down automatically.
PROCEDURE
1. Press the Wireless Charging Button to turn on wireless charging. A beep will sound,
the LCD screen will continuously display the following:
The Battery Status Icon and Battery Voltage Indicator will light solid, and the
