Operating Instructions
1. Jump Starting a Vehicle
Use this function when your vehicle's 12V battery is depleted. Ensure the jump starter is sufficiently charged.
- Prepare the Vehicle: Turn off the vehicle's ignition and all accessories (lights, radio, etc.). Engage the parking brake.
- Connect Clamps to Unit: Plug the intelligent battery clamps into the jump start port on the OSRAM BATTERYstart 200 unit. Ensure a secure connection.
- Connect to Vehicle Battery:
- Connect the red (+) clamp to the positive (+) terminal of the vehicle's battery.
- Connect the black (-) clamp to a clean, unpainted metal part of the vehicle chassis, away from the battery and fuel lines. Alternatively, connect to the negative (-) terminal if recommended by your vehicle manufacturer.
- Verify Connection: The intelligent clamps will indicate a safe connection (refer to the clamp's indicator lights, if present). The jump starter unit may also provide an indication.
- Start Vehicle: Once connected correctly, attempt to start your vehicle. Do not crank for more than 3-5 seconds. If the vehicle does not start, wait at least 30 seconds before trying again.
- Disconnect Clamps: Once the vehicle starts, immediately disconnect the black (-) clamp first, then the red (+) clamp from the vehicle battery. Then, disconnect the clamps from the jump starter unit.
