7. Clamp the negative (black –) clamp to the vehicle frame (ground).
Note: Make sure the cables are not in the path of moving engine parts (belts,
fans, etc.).
8. Once connected, the smart cable/clamp will provide an assessment of the
connection.
8a. If the smart cable/clamp lights solid green, the battery to be jumped in the
normal range. You have 30 seconds in which to start the vehicle or the unit will
return to standby mode.
8b. If the smart cable/clamp lights red and a warning buzzer sounds, this indicates
a reverse connection. Disconnect from vehicle immediately and properly
connect to vehicle. This condition cannot be overridden.
8c. If proper connection has been made, but the vehicle battery is below 10VDC,
the red LED will beep. If you check that all connections are correct, you can
circumvent this protection by depressing the Override Button for 4 seconds
on the side of the smart cable clamp box. The Green Status LED should now
light. You have 30 seconds in which to start the vehicle or the unit will return to
standby mode.
9. Stay clear of batteries while jump starting.
10. Start the vehicle (turn on the vehicle ignition).
Note: If the vehicle doesn’t start within 6 seconds, let the POWERLIGHT
RESCUE cool for 3 minutes before attempting to start the vehicle again or you
may damage the POWERLIGHT RESCUE.
Note: During very cold conditions, the unit may not start on the first attempt. We
suggest attempting to start a second or third time, as the starting attempt will
warm the internal battery and improve your starting chances. Do not attempt to
jump start after four attempts – either the unit does not have sufficient power
to start the vehicle or there is a more extensive problem with the vehicle than
simply a depleted battery.
11. When the vehicle is started, the smart cable/clamp will show a solid blue LED
and the warning buzzer will beep for a short period.
12. Disconnect the negative (–) battery clamp from the vehicle frame.
13. Disconnect the positive (+) clamp.
14. Disconnect smart cables/clamps from the PowerLight RESCUE and properly
store them for the next use.
