Quick starting system
Important
•
Only use the included starter cables.
• Clean corroded or dirty vehicle battery terminals before connecting the cables.
• Do not use if a cable or clip is damaged.
• To prevent damage to the product, only use with 12 V vehicle on board systems.
• Never short circuit the two pole terminals e.g. Do not clamp both cables together or to the same
piece of conductive material.
a) Before jump starting the vehicle
• Prepare your vehicle for ignition. E.g. Place gear in park and engage the emergency brake.
• Turn off all vehicle electronics e.g. air conditioner, heater, radio, and lights.
•
Make sure there is at least 50% charge in the starter.
b) Normal starting method
Try this method of starting first.
1. Connect the starter cables plug into the starter cables socket.
2. Clip the red and black cables to the electrodes of the vehicle battery
in the following sequence.
- Red clamp to positive (
+
)
- Black clamp to negative (
-
)
3. Check the starter status indicator:
-
Alternating red/green flashing (normal) → proceed to step 4.
-
Other LED status: see section “d) Status indicators, Protection
mode” for further information.
4. Attempt to start the vehicle.
- Do not start the ignition for more than 3 secs at a time.
-
Allow the starter to cool down for 30 secs between each start
attempt.
- Maximum 3 attempts within 2 mins.
If ignition fails after 3 attempts, disconnect the quick start system, wait 5 mins then try the “force
starting method”.
5. If the engine starts, disconnect the black terminal followed by the red terminal. Replace the sockets
cover.
Let the vehicle run for approx. 30 mins to recharge the battery.
c) Force starting method
Try this method of starting if the normal starting method fails.
1. Connect the starter cables plug to the starter cables socket.
2. Clip the red and black cables to the electrodes of the vehicle battery in the following sequence.
- Red clamp to positive (
+
)
- Black clamp to negative (
-
)
3. Check the starter status indicators:
-
Alternating red/green flashing (normal) → proceed to step 4.
-
Other LED status: see section “d) Status indicators, Protection mode” for further information.
4. Press and hold the
Force Start Button
for 3 secs until the status LED lights solid green.
When the indicator light of the smart clamp is solid green, start the vehicle within 30 secs.
5. Attempt to start the vehicle.
- Do not start ignition for more than 3 secs at a time.
-
Allow the starter to cool down for 30 secs between each start attempt.
- Maximum 3 attempts within 2 mins.
If ignition fails after 3 attempts, disconnect the quick start system and contact a specialist work-
shop.
6. If the engine starts, disconnect the quick start system and replace the sockets cover.
Let the vehicle run for approx. 30 mins to recharge the battery.
Status indicators
Normal
Status indicator
Status
Alternating red/green
flashing
Quick start system is ready/starting in progress.
Green steady on
Force start mode is activated.
Protection mode
The starting system will not operate until the conditions triggering the protection are removed.
Status indicator
Status
Red steady/red flashing
Connection error. Please check all contacts.
Red on/alarm sound on
• Reversed polarity: check if the clamps are connected the wrong way
around.
• Short-circuit: Both cables are clamped together or clamped to the same
piece of conductive metal.
Red steady on
• Reverse charging protection is triggered. Voltage of the connected bat-
tery is >12.6 V.
• The jump starter is not needed as the vehicle battery is enough to start
the vehicle.
Red flashing quickly
Over temperature: Clamp >65 (±5) ºC. Remove the clips until the starter
status indicator returns to normal (alternating red/green flashing).
Green flashing slowly
Quick start battery charge is too low, recharge it.
Care and cleaning
• Disconnect the product from the starter cables before cleaning.
• Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents, rubbing alcohol or other chemical solutions as they can
cause damage to the housing and malfunctioning.
•
Clean the product with a dry, fibre-free cloth.
Disposal
Electronic devices are recyclable waste and must not be disposed of in the household waste.
At the end of its service life, dispose of the product in accordance with applicable regulatory
guidelines.
You thus fulfill your statutory obligations and contribute to the protection of the environment.
