Read the remainder of the instructions before using the iOnBoost!
Jumpstart Procedure
1. Turn off the vehicle ignition and all accessories (radios, lights, air conditioners), and
disconnect electronic devices.
2. Set the emergency brake and put vehicles with automatic transmission in park position.
3. Determine the polarity of the vehicle’s battery terminals. The positive (POS, P, +) battery
terminal usually is red and larger in diameter than the negative (NEG, N, −) terminal. If you
are unsure, first refer to the vehicle owner’s manual. Make sure the negative battery terminal
is also connected to the vehicle frame.
4. If engine was recently cranked, use a non conductive material (cardboard or a folded
newspaper) to wave away (dispel) explosive gases. Do this for a few minutes before any
vehicle connections.
5. Insert the blue plug of the jumper cables into the iOnBoost’s jumper terminal. When fully
inserted, the red and green lights on the cable safety block should both flash continuously.
Never allow clamps (positive & negative terminals) to touch together or contact the same
piece of metal to prevent short-circuits and arcing�
6. Securely connect the positive (+) red clamp to the positive (POS, P, +) terminal of the vehicle
battery or the remote positive (+) terminal if equipped.
7. Securely connect the negative (−) black clamp to a non-moving, metal part of the engine or
frame as far away from the vehicle battery as possible.
8. When the clamps are properly connected to the battery, the green light on the cable safety
block will illuminate (a three-second delay is normal). When the light illuminates steady
green, it is safe to proceed in these instructions. If the light fails to illuminate steady green or
if any red lights illuminate, consult the troubleshooting section of this manual.
9. Place unit on a secure surface away from moving parts.
10. Start vehicle engine. Stop if the vehicle does not start after 3 to 4 seconds of engine
cranking. Wait 3 to 4 minutes, then try again. If engine does not start after second attempt,
discontinue cranking and consult a professional.
11. The internal safety timer will automatically disconnect the circuit after 30 seconds to
prevent the vehicle battery from reverse charging the unit. Both the red and green lights
will illuminate steady. If your vehicle still has not started, disconnect the cables and try the
procedure again.
12. When finished, disconnect the clamps in reverse sequence of connecting procedure—
first disconnect negative (black), then positive (red) clamps. Do not let the clamps touch
each other.
13. Disconnect the jumper cable assembly from the unit.
14. When convenient, completely charge the iOnBoost battery.
15. Store the unit in a cool, dry environment, away from flammable materials. Remember to fully
charge the unit every three months.
