6.1 CHECKING THE LEVEL OF THE INTERNAL BATTERY
1. Slide the ON/OFF switch to the ON position. The LCD display will show
the battery’s percentage of charge. A fully charged internal battery will read
100%. Charge the internal battery if the display shows it is under 85%.
2. To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug the unit’s charging cable from
a USB or wall charger before attempting any maintenance or cleaning.
Simply turning off the controls will not reduce this risk.
3. When charging the internal battery, work in a well ventilated area and do
not restrict the ventilation in any way.
6.2 CHARGING THE INTERNAL BATTERY
NOTE: Use a 2A USB charger (sold separately), or a 2A USB
charging port to quickly recharge the jump starter. Using a charger
with less than 2A will increase charge time.
1. Plug the Micro USB end of the charging cable into the input port. Next,
plug the USB end of the charging cable into a charger’s USB port.
2. Plug your charger into a live AC or DC power outlet.
3. The LCD display will light, the digit begins to flash and show “IN”, indicating
that charging has begun.
4. The jump starter will fully charge in 7-8 hours. When the unit is fully
charged, the display will show “100%”.
5. When the battery is fully charged, disconnect your charger from the
outlet, and then remove the charging cable from the charger and the
unit. Slide the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position, if you are not using
the unit immediately.
7. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
7.1 JUMP STARTING A VEHICLE ENGINE
NOTE: Use either model number SA884 or SA866 jump cable.
IMPORTANT: Do not use the jump starter while charging its internal battery.
IMPORTANT: Using the jump starter without a battery installed in the
vehicle will damage the vehicle’s electrical system.
NOTE: The internal battery must have a charge if at least 40% to
jump start a vehicle.
1. Turn the ignition OFF.
2. Plug the battery clamp cable into the jump starter’s output socket.
3. Lay the DC cables away from any fan blades, belts, pulleys and other
moving parts. Make sure all of the vehicle’s electrical devices are turned off.
4. For a negative-grounded vehicle, connect the POSITIVE (RED) clamp
from the jump starter to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +) ungrounded post
of the battery. Connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) clamp to the vehicle
chassis or engine block away from the battery. Do not connect the
clamp to the carburetor, fuel lines or sheet-metal body parts. Connect
to a heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine block.
5. For a positive-grounded vehicle, connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK)
clamp from the jump starter to the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) ungrounded
post of the battery. Connect the POSITIVE (RED) clamp to the vehicle
chassis or engine block away from the battery. Do not connect the
clamp to the carburetor, fuel lines or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to
a heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine block.
