Powering a 12V DC Device:
The jump starter is a power source for all 12V DC accessories that are equipped with a
12V accessory plug. Use it for power outages and fishing or camping trips. Estimated
usage time is listed in the chart below.
Make sure the device to be powered is OFF before inserting the 12V DC accessory plug
into the 12V DC accessory outlet.
1.
Open the protective cover of the DC power outlet on the back of the jump starter.
2.
Plug the 12V DC device into the DC power outlet, and turn the 12V DC device on
(if required).
3.
If the 12V DC device draws more than 15A or has a short circuit, the internal fuse
of the jump starter will blow and disconnect the power to the device. If this occurs,
disconnect the 12V DC device in question and take it to a qualified service person.
The DC power outlet is wired directly to the internal battery. Extended operation of a 12V
DC device may result in excessive battery drain. Recharge immediately after unplugging
the 12V DC device.

Store the jump starter in an upright position, inside, in a cool, dry place.
8.2
Always make sure the jump starter is fully charged before storing. When not using it for
long periods of time, recharge the jump starter every 30 days.
8.3
The clips on the jump starter are live and will produce arcing or sparking if they come
in contact with each other. To prevent accidental arcing, always keep the clips on the
storage holders when not jump starting a vehicle.
Do not use and/or store the jump starter in or on any area or surface
where damage could occur if the internal battery should unexpectedly leak acid.
