4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Jump Starting a Vehicle
The AVAPOW A68 can start all 12V gas engines and up to 12L diesel engines.
- Prepare the Jump Starter: Ensure the jump starter is sufficiently charged. Click the power button on the jump starter and insert the smart jumper cable's EC5 connector into the jump port. The blue STANDBY light on the clamps should illuminate.
- Connect to Car Battery: Connect the red (+) clamp to the positive (+) terminal of your car battery and the black (-) clamp to the negative (-) terminal. The green READY light on the clamps should illuminate, indicating a correct connection.
- Start Your Car: Go into your car and start the engine.
- Disconnect: Once the car engine starts, immediately remove the jumper clamps from the car battery terminals, then disconnect the smart jumper cable from the jump starter. Power off the jump starter.
4.2 Force Start Function
If your car battery is completely dead (voltage less than 2V), the smart clamps may not detect the battery and the green READY light might not turn on. In this scenario, use the Force Start Function:
- Connect the smart jumper cables to the jump starter and then to the car battery terminals (red to positive, black to negative).
- Long press the red button on the smart jumper cable for 3 seconds until the middle indicator light turns green.
- Proceed to start your car engine within 30 seconds.
- Once the car starts, immediately remove the clamps and disconnect the jump starter.
4.3 Using the LED Light
The built-in ultra-bright LED light has three modes: Lighting, SOS, and Strobe.
- Always Ultra Bright (Lighting): Long press the power button on the jump starter to turn on the light.
- SOS Mode: Short press the power button while the light is on to switch to SOS mode (3 short flashes - 3 long flashes - 3 short flashes).
- Strobe Mode: Short press the power button again to switch to Strobe mode (flashes alternatively).
- Turn Off: Short press the power button one more time to turn off the light.
4.4 Using as a Power Bank
The AVAPOW A68 features two USB output ports and one DC output port to charge your electronic devices.
- USB Output Ports: Connect your devices (cellphones, tablets, Kindles, digital cameras) to the USB 1 (5V/2.4A) or USB 2 (5V/3A, 9V/2A, 12V/1.5A Quick Charge) ports using their respective charging cables.
- DC Output Port: Use the provided female cigarette lighter socket adapter to power 12V accessories.
5. Maintenance
- Recharge Regularly: To prolong the lifespan of the internal battery, fully recharge the jump starter every 3-6 months, even if it has not been used.
- Storage: Store the device in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and moisture. Keep it in its protective storage case when not in use.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the jump starter. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Do not expose the jump starter to extremely high or low temperatures, as this can damage the battery and internal components.
6. Troubleshooting
- Jump Starter Not Turning On: Ensure the device is charged. If the battery indicator shows low charge, recharge it fully.
- Vehicle Not Starting:
- Check the connections of the smart jumper clamps to the car battery terminals. Ensure red is to positive (+) and black is to negative (-). The green READY light should be on.
- If the car battery is completely dead (voltage < 2V), use the Force Start Function as described in section 4.2.
- Ensure the smart clamps are not indicating an error (e.g., RC for reverse connection, LV for low voltage, HT for high temperature). Correct any issues indicated.
- Allow the jump starter to cool down if the HT (High Temperature) indicator is on.
- Device Not Charging: Ensure the USB Type-C cable is properly connected to both the jump starter and the power source. Try a different cable or power adapter.
- LED Light Not Working: Press the power button to cycle through the light modes. If it still doesn't work, ensure the jump starter has sufficient charge.
