There are several very important safety aspects which need to be understood and practiced
prior to activating the Jump Starter Bypass Mode.
It is important to read through the bullet points below in their entirety and fully understand
prior to proceeding further.
• The vehicle's positive lead to the disabled battery must be disconnected.
• The Jump Starter’s positive lead is connected to the disconnected positive battery
lead
, and
the Jump Starter's negative lead connected to the negative battery
post
(which will have the
vehicle's negative lead attached).
• The critical point in the process is to reconnect the vehicle's disconnected positive lead to
the positive battery post, whilst maintaining connection of both Jump Starter leads.
• BE AWARE - Unless due care is exercised, it is possible to dislodge the Jump Starter leads
while reattaching the positive vehicle lead. Should this happen the vehicle's electrical system
could be damaged.
• For the above reason, the reconnection process must be practiced, and only when you are
confident in this process, should you proceed to implement the processes of charging the
Jump Starter and starting the vehicle.
CAUTION: Ensure the Jump Starter is switched OFF whilst mastering this technique!
Failure to reconnect the vehicle's lead to the battery post prior to disconnection of either of the
Jump Starter leads may cause damage to the vehicle's electrical system.
Steps required to start the vehicle:
2.1
Prepare the disabled vehicle to receive the Jump Starter - disconnect the vehicle's battery
lead from the battery post (Fig.3).
2.2
Charge the Jump Starter from a power source other than the deficient battery: a
battery in another vehicle, a 12V DC outlet (G) in another vehicle, a USB charging outlet (F).
(refer specifications for a guide to charging times).
2.3
Connect the Jump Starter's positive lead to vehicle's positive battery lead (Fig.4).
2.4
Activate the Bypass Mode by holding down the On/Off Start Button (D) until a series
of beeps is heard and the Fault/Override indicator light (B) becomes a fixed green. This
indicates the Bypass Mode has been activated.
2.5
Attach the negative Jump Starter lead to the battery's negative post (still connected)
(Fig.5).
2.6
Turn the ignition on and the vehicle should start. If the vehicle fails to start, repeat
steps 2.1 – 2.5 for a maximum of 5 times. If the vehicle still does not start, stop and
continue with 3.0 as detailed below.
2.7
After the vehicle starts, carefully reconnect the vehicle's disconnected positive battery
lead to the positive battery post, ensuring both Jump Starter leads remain connected (Fig.6)
2.8
Once the vehicle's positive lead has been reconnected to the post, you can safely
disconnect the Jump Starter's positive lead. (Fig.7).
3.0. Completely Without Charge “dead battery”
Follow this procedure when the Jump Starter’s Fault/ Override indicator does not blink, while
connected to the disabled vehicle's battery.
3.1
Connect the Jump Starter to a power source, other than the deficient battery: a battery in
another vehicle, a 12 V DC outlet outlet (G) in another vehicle, a USB charging outlet (F).
(refer specifications for a guide to charging times).
3.2
Press the Charging Button (C). The Jump Starter will accumulate charge.
Once the Jump Starter has fully charged i.e. both the top green lights are showing a fixed
green (A), disconnect the Jump Starter from the power source and connect to the disabled
vehicle’s battery. Connect the red clamps to the positive terminal and the black clamp to
the negative terminal.
3.3
Activate the Bypass Mode by holding down the On/Off Start Button (D) until a series of
beeps is heard and the Fault/Override indicator light (B) becomes a fixed green. This
indicates the Bypass Mode has been activated.
3.4
Turn the ignition on and your vehicle should start. Should the vehicle fail to start, repeat
steps 3.1 - 3.3 for a maximum of 5 times. If the vehicle still does not start, contact one of our
customer service team for further assistance on 1300 883 104.
3.5
After the vehicle has started, disconnect the positive Jump Starter clamp leads, then
press the On/Off Start Button (D) to deactivate the Bypass Mode. After the Fault/Override
Indicator light (B) has extinguished (confirming the Override Mode has been deactivated)
disconnect the negative clamp lead.
3.6
Before switching off the vehicle, take it for a short drive to allow the deficient battery to
recharge.
2.9
After disconnecting the Jump Starter's positive lead, deactivate Bypass Mode by pressing
the ON/OFF button (D), once. The Fault Override indicator light (B) will extinguish (confirming
the Bypass Mode has been deactivated).
2.10
Disconnect the negative Jump Starter lead.
2.11
Before switching off the vehicle, take it for a short drive to allow the deficient battery
to recharge.
