OVERVIEW
Common Actions and Unit Responses
The following actions turn the unit on and activate the LCD screen:
Press the LED Area Light
Power Button.
(Refer to the
"LED Area Light" section.)
A beep will sound and the Area Light will turn on. The
backlight will turn on for 10 seconds (only). The LCD screen
will continue to display the Battery Status Icon and Battery

Light Power Button is pressed again to turn it off.
Press the USB Power
Button.
(Refer to the "USB
Ports" section.)
A beep will sound and the USB Ports will turn on. The
backlight will turn on for 10 seconds (only). The LCD
screen will display the Battery Status Icon, Battery Voltage
Indicator, and the USB Icon; indicating the three USB Ports
are active. The unit remains on until the USB Power Button
is pressed again to turn it off.
Press the Compressor
Power Button.
(Refer to
the "Portable Compressor"
section.)
A beep will sound and the backlit LCD screen will display
the Battery Status Icon, "XXX" PSI and the Compressor Icon.
If no further actions are taken after 1 minute, the unit will
display the Battery Status Icon and Battery Voltage Indicator
for 10 seconds before automatically turning off.
If the Jump Starter Switch
has been turned to the
on position and the
clamps are not connected
to a battery
(refer to the
“Jump-Starting Your Vehicle”
section) ...
... a two-second warning will sound every 10 seconds. The
backlit LCD screen will display the Battery Status Icon,
Battery Voltage Indicator, the Clamp Icons, and the “+” and
”–” signs. The Alarm Icon and the Jump Starter Icon will
flash. The unit remains on until the Jump Starter Power
Switch is switched off and then displays the battery status
icon and the voltage of digital display for 10 seconds before
automatic shut down.
If the clamp connections
to the battery’s positive
and negative terminals are
reversed
(refer to the "Jump
Starter" section)
…
… the backlit LCD screen will display the Battery Status Icon,
Battery Voltage Indicator, and the Clamp Icons. The Alarm
Icon, the “+” and ”–” signs and the Reverse Polarity Icons
will flash and the unit will sound a warning continuously
until the clamps are disconnected from the battery.
Whenever the clamps
are properly connected
to a battery
(refer to the
“Jump-Starting Your Vehicle”
section) ...
... a beep will sound and the backlit LCD screen will display
the Battery Status Icon, Battery Voltage Indicator, the Clamp
Icons, and the “+” and ”–” signs. The Jump Starter Icon will
flash. The unit remains on until the clamps are
disconnected from the battery.
When the unit is charging
or recharging using
the built-in 120 Volt
AC Charger
(refer to the
"Charging/Recharging"
section)
…
… the backlight will turn on for 10 seconds (only). The
LCD screen will continue to display the Battery Status Icon
and Battery Voltage Indicator. The bars on the Battery
Status Icon will change from empty to solid (bottom to
top) repeatedly.
Note:
The unit will automatically power off once ALL the functions are turned off.
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
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 40 hours or until the Battery Status Icon shows 4 solid bars.
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.
CAUTION –
RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE:
Failure to keep the battery charged will cause
permanent damage and result in poor jump starting performance.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
• Recharging the battery after each use will prolong battery life; frequent heavy discharges
between recharges and/or overcharging will reduce battery life.
• Make sure all other unit functions are turned off during recharging, as this can slow the
recharging process.
• 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. The manufacturer suggests leaving the unit charging for a period of 40
hours using the built-in AC charger before use.
Charging/Recharging Using the Built-In 120 Volt AC
Charger and AC Extension Cord (not included)
1. Lift the protective cover of the built-in 120 Volt AC Charger (refer to the “Features section to
locate). Connect an extension cord to the unit. Plug the other end of the cord into a standard
120-volt AC wall 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 40 hours or until the Battery Status Icon shows 4 solid bars.
3. When charging is complete, unplug the AC extension cord from the AC outlet and then
disconnect it from the unit.
