The unit should be operated only in locations that meet the following requirements:
(1) Dry Do not allow water or other liquids to drop on or splash the unit.
(2) Cool Ambient air temperature should be between 0 and 40°C (32 and 104 °F)–
the cooler the better within this range.
(3) Ventilated
Leave at least 2” (5 cm) clearance around the Battery Booster Pack for
air flow. Ensure that the ventilation openings are not obstructed.
(4) Safe Do not operate the unit in enclosed areas where batteries may be stored
or in any compartment capable of storing flammable liquids like gasoline.
(5) Protected Do not operate the unit where it will be exposed to battery gases. These
gases are very corrosive and prolonged exposure will damage the Battery
Booster Pack.
NOTE:
Closely follow these instructions for jump starting a vehicle as they may be different from
the instructions supplied with other boosting products or boosting cables.
Jump starting procedures
(1). Turn off the vehicle and all accessories.
(2). Place the Battery Booster Pack on a flat and stable surface near the battery which
needs to be started. Ensure that the Booster Pack power switch is “OFF”.
(3). Connect the red positive (+) clamp of the cables to the positive (+) terminal of the
engine battery.
(4). Connect the black negative (-) clamp of the cables to the engine block, cylinder
head, or other stationary heavy metal part of the stalled vehicle. If the red “Battery Clips
Incorrect” LED illuminates, then reverse polarity has been detected. Correct polarity must
be established before proceeding. Disconnect the boosting clamps from the vehicle’s
battery and repeat steps (3) and (4).
Note:
if vehicle battery voltage is less than 2.5V, LED will not turn on, but you still can
jumpstart.
(5). Turn the power switch on. Before starting the engine, make sure the Booster Pack and
the cables are clear of metal parts and other moving objects.
(6). Start the engine for 3 seconds or until it starts, whichever is first.
WARNING: Fire hazard
Do not try starting the engine for more than 3 seconds. The boosting feature is designed for
short term operation only. Operating the boosting feature for more than 3 seconds may
cause damage to the unit. Allow the Battery Booster Pack to cool down for at least 3
minutes after each boost.
(7). Turn the power switch off.
(8). Disconnect both clamps in reverse order and place them back in the holders.
5. Recharging
NOTE:
Recharge the Battery Booster Pack as soon as possible after each use.
When the Battery Booster Pack is not being used, it should be recharged every 3 months!
WARNING:
Must not be recharged through the 12V DC socket.
WARNING:
Make sure that there is no 12V DC appliance connected to the Battery Booster Pack
during charging.
Recharging using an AC charger
(1) Turn the rotary switch to the off position.
(2) Plug the 120V AC charger into the charger input socket on the Booster Pack.
(3) Plug the 120V AC charger into the 120 V AC electrical socket.
(4) Do not stop until the battery is fully charged. This should take about 40 hours.
NOTE:
Charging time for the Battery Booster Pack is 40 hours assuming that the voltage in the AC
wall outlet is 120V. If the voltage is less than 120V AC, it may take longer than 40 hours to
fully charge.
NOTE:
Once fully charged, the charging current automatically drops to a floating charge mode,
and the unit may be left permanently connected to the AC charger.
6. 12V DC outlet
For optional 12V power accessories using a cigarette plug. Use the portable power outlet
for power supply for fishing and camping trips, extended running of mobile phones,
camcorders, computers, etc. Combining the unit with an inverter provides 120V AC power.
NOTE:
12V cigarette plug is not supplied with this unit.
It is recommended that you do NOT power accessories that draw more than 8 Amps.
Ensure the cigarette adapter you are using is properly rated.
