POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post.
Next, connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK)
clamp to the vehicle chassis or engine
block, away from the battery.

turned OFF when the unit is being
recharged or stored.
Position the Instant Power on a flat, stable
surface near the intended work area.
Ensure the battery clamps are securely
clipped on the storage holders.
POWERING A 12V DC DEVICE
The Instant Power is a power source for all
12V DC accessories that are equipped with
a 12V accessory plug. Use it for power
outages and on fishing or camping trips.
NOTE:
Do not power a 12V device with
the Instant Power while charging the
internal battery.

Make sure the device to be powered
is OFF before inserting the 12V DC
accessory plug into the 12V DC
accessory outlet.
2.
Open the protective cover of the DC
power outlet on the Instant Power.
3.
Plug the 12V DC device into the DC
power outlet and turn on the 12V DC
device (if required).
4.
When finished, turn off the DC device
(if required) and unplug from the DC
power outlet.
CAUTION:
Do not use the Instant Power
to run appliances that draw more than
15A DC.
NOTE:
Extended operation of a 12V DC
device may result in excessive battery
drain. Recharge the Instant Power
immediately after unplugging the 12V
DC device.
