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.
