Operating Instructions

Jump Starting a Vehicle

Follow these steps carefully to jump start your vehicle:

1. Step 1: Insert. Ensure the jump starter is sufficiently charged. Insert the intelligent jumper cable clamps into the "Engine Start" port on the jump starter unit.
2. Step 2: Connect. Connect the red (+) clamp to the positive (+) terminal of your vehicle's battery. Connect the black (-) clamp to the negative (-) terminal of your vehicle's battery. The intelligent clamps will indicate a correct connection (e.g., a green light). If an incorrect connection is detected, an alarm may sound, and a red light may blink. Disconnect and re-connect correctly.
3. Step 3: Start. Once the clamps are correctly connected and the indicator is green, start your car engine.
4. Step 4: Disconnect. After the vehicle starts, immediately remove the jumper cable clamps from the vehicle battery, then disconnect them from the jump starter unit.

Safety Precautions

The IDEAPLAY Jump Starter is equipped with advanced safety protection features. Always adhere to the following guidelines for safe operation:

• Ensure the intelligent jumper cables are connected correctly to the battery terminals (red to positive, black to negative) to avoid reverse polarity.
• Do not allow the red and black clamps to touch each other once connected to the jump starter.
• Avoid over-charging or over-discharging the unit. The intelligent protection circuit manages this automatically.
• Do not expose the unit to extreme temperatures (above 131°F or below -4°F) or direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
• Keep the unit dry and away from water. It is dustproof but not fully submersible.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the unit. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.
• Keep out of reach of children.
