Before turning it ON, make sure that the clamps are properly connected and that
there is no reverse polarity. Then turn the Booster ON to jump start the vehicle. Once
the vehicle has started, please remove first the negative clamp, then turn the Booster
OFF and then remove the positive clamp.

CHARGE STATUS
Different models will have different charge status. These voltmeters are here to let
you know if your Start Booster is charged or not. There are different types of voltage
indicators:
-
LED Voltmeter
: composed of 5 LED lights going from Red to Orange to Green. This
method is easy to understand whether your unit is charged or not. When 4 LED lights
are ON, it means that your unit is ready for use. The 5th LED light will only turn ON
when your device is connected to a charger (and is fully charged), or when your device
is connected to a working alternator. After you started your vehicle, leave your Boost-
er connected to the alternator for 10 seconds
maximum
. If the 5th Green LED light
does not turn ON, it means that your alternator is not working properly.
-
Digital/Analog Voltmeter
: These two voltmeters will only indicate the voltage of the
Booster. If your Booster is below 12.7V, you need to recharge it. When you leave your
Booster connected on the vehicle for 10 seconds
maximum
, the voltmeter should
read the voltage output of the alternator, which will let you know if the alternator is
working properly or not. (a working alternator has an output of approximately 14V).
