Setup Instructions
Follow these steps to properly set up your AC/DC adapter:
- Verify Compatibility: Ensure your jump starter requires a 15V DC input with a 1A current and has a compatible barrel connector. This adapter is specifically designed for Pilot InstaBoost 10KJS, m10kjs, CA-9801, and CA-9802 models.
