Jumpstart Warnings
Failure to follow these instructions may cause damage or explosion�
NOTE: Cranking an engine produces an accumulation of explosive gas above and near the vehicle
battery. Before any attempt to jumpstart a vehicle battery, make sure explosive gas is dispelled from
the area. Use a cardboard or newspaper fan to wave the gases away from the battery for a few
minutes. Do not use plastic or metal sheet—they can produce sparks and ignite the gas.
• Wear complete eye and clothing protection when jumpstarting a vehicle. Do not touch eyes
while working with battery.
• Remove metal, personal jewelry, such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches while
working with a vehicle battery. These items can produce a short-circuit that may cause severe
burns. Never allow the clamps to touch together or contact the same piece of metal.
• Use only the charging adapters and jumpstarting clamps provided in this package.
Unauthorized parts may cause serious damage or injury.
• Only use this jumpstarter with 12 Volt negative – grounded systems. Most US vehicles have
negative (–) battery terminals connected to the vehicle frame. (Negative – Ground). Check the
negative battery terminal connecting wire to make sure it also connects to the frame.
• Vehicles equipped with on-board computers may be affected if the engine battery is
jumpstarted. Read your vehicle owner’s manual before attempting to start the vehicle to
determine if external starting assistance can be used.
• Do not attempt to jumpstart your vehicle when iOnBoost is below 20% charge (observe battery
status indicator lights on the unit).
• Make sure the jumpstarter clamps get connected to correct polarity (red to positive battery
terminal, black to vehicle frame for negative ground systems) when jumpstarting.
• If the engine fails to start after two 3-second cranking attempts, discontinue jumpstart
procedure. Excessive engine cranking can damage the vehicle’s starter motor. Look for other
problems that may need to be corrected or call for professional service.
• If the iOnBoost is overloaded while in the jumpstart mode, quickly disconnect the negative then
positive clamps. All functions on the iOnBoost will not operate if the unit was overloaded. To
recover from overload, let the unit rest for 10 minutes then press the button to reset the unit.
All functions on the iOnBoost will not operate until this is done.
• Disconnecting cable clamps is always done in reverse order from connection sequence (see
Jumpstart Procedure below).
