Operating Instructions

Jump Starting a Vehicle

The NEXPOW AP1 can jump start 12V vehicles with up to all gas or 10L diesel engines.

1. Ensure the jump starter is at least 50% charged.
2. Turn off the vehicle's ignition and all accessories.
3. Insert the smart jumper cable into the jumper cable port on the AP1 unit.
4. Connect the red (+) clamp to the positive (+) terminal of the vehicle's battery.
5. Connect the black (-) clamp to the negative (-) terminal of the vehicle's battery.
6. Check the indicator light on the smart jumper cable.
   • Solid Green: Ready to jump start.
   • Solid Red with Beep: Reverse polarity or short circuit. Disconnect and re-connect correctly.
   • Flashing Green: Battery voltage too low (below 1V). Proceed to step 7.
7. If the indicator is solid green, start the vehicle. If it's flashing green, press and hold the "FORCE START" button on the smart jumper cable for 3 seconds until the green light becomes solid, then start the vehicle within 30 seconds.
8. Once the vehicle starts, immediately remove the clamps from the car battery, first the black (-) and then the red (+).
