6. After a proper connection has been made, press the
button. When the display shows JUMP START
READY, the jump starter is ready for use.
WARNING! RISK OF EXPLOSION.
If you have connected the clamps backwards, an audio alarm will sound, and the display will show
WARNING- CLAMPS REVERSED. Press the
button to turn off the unit. Reverse the connections.
Press the
button to turn the unit back on.
7. Crank the engine. If the engine does not start within 5-8 seconds, stop cranking and wait at least 1 minute
before attempting to start the vehicle again. The display will show BATTERY COOL DOWN xx SEC
REMAINING. When the display shows JUMP START READY, the jump starter is ready for use.
8. After the engine starts, press the
button to turn the unit off. Disconnect the black clamp (-) and
then the red clamp (+), in that order.
9. Recharge the unit as soon as possible after each use.
8.2 STARTING A BATTERY WITH LOW VOLTAGE
If the vehicle’s battery voltage is too low for the jump starter to detect that the clamps are connected, there is a
manual start procedure to enable the jump start function.
1. Make sure the clamps are correctly connected.
2. Press and hold the
button for 5 seconds. When the display shows JUMP START READY, the
jump starter is ready for use.
WARNING! This overrides a safety feature. It will energize the clamps and cause sparking if they are touched
together. If the clamp connections are reversed, damage to the unit, battery and possibly the car’s electrical
system will occur.
8.3 POWERING A 12V DC DEVICE (up to 6A)
The Fuel Pack is a power source for most DC accessories that are equipped with a 12V accessory plug.
NOTE: Charging while operating a DC device (USB, memory saver) will extend run time, but will also
extend recharge time. If the load exceeds 1A, it will discharge the battery.
1. Make sure the device to be powered is OFF before inserting the 12V DC accessory plug into the
12V DC outlet.
2. Plug the 12V port adaptor into the unit’s 12V output port.
3. Plug your device into the 12V adaptor port and turn on the device (if required).
4. Press the button on the unit, twice.
5. When finished, turn off the DC device (if required) and disconnect the device. Press any button to
turn on the display. Then press the button, to turn off the 12V function.
6. Recharge the Fuel Pack immediately after unplugging the device.
8.4 USING THE USB PORTS
The USB ports provide up to 2.1 A at 5V DC.
1. Press the button on the unit.
2. Plug the USB connector into the USB port of the unit.
3. Plug the other (micro) end of the adaptor into your device. Turn device on, if necessary.
4. When finished using the USB port, turn off the device (if necessary) and unplug the device. Press any
button, to turn on the display. Then press the button twice, to turn off the USB function.
5. Recharge the unit.
NOTE: The USB power will automatically turn off if not used for 10 minutes.
8.5 USING A MEMORY SAVER (not included).
The unit can be used with a memory saver to save the vehicle’s on-board diagnostic computer settings
(radio programs, diagnostic codes, etc.) while the battery is disconnected from the vehicle during repair or
maintenance. Connect your memory saver adaptor to the 12V DC accessory input adaptor. We recommend
the SECF-12V-OBD or OBD-L memory savers.
