a. Connect the gray power cable from the Battery Boost to your SimCube

simulator.

b. Insert four “AA” batteries into the battery carriage.
c. Position the switch on the battery module to “Batt ON.”  The SimCube simulator

will power on.

3. Operation Guide
a. Battery Operation

Simply Install batteries (alkaline or rechargeable) into Battery Boost and switch to 
“Batt ON” position.  When you are done using your SimCube simulator switch to 
“Batt OFF.”  When Batt level LED changes from green to orange, make sure you 
have a spare set of batteries on hand.  When the Batt Level LED changes from 
orange to red, change the batteries. The Batt Level LED will turn orange when 
approximately  25%  battery  life  remains  (about  50  readings).   Always  double 
check  that  the  switch  is  in  the  “Batt  OFF”  position  when  you  are  done;  the 
numeric display on the SimCube simulator is blanked under certain conditions to 
conserve power so you cannot rely on that to indicate that the unit is off. 

b. AC Operation

When AC power is available, simply plug the SimCube power supply into an AC outlet. The Battery 
Boost will automatically switch over to AC and your batteries will not be drained, regardless of 
whether the battery boost slide switch is in the on or off position. The “AC ON” indicator lamp will 
light continuously while the AC power supply is connected to a viable AC outlet, but when AC 
power is disconnected and the battery is switched on, the “AC ON” lamp may still emit a short flash 
every few seconds.  During AC operation, the Batt Level LED may not accurately reflect the state 
of the batteries.
