Operating Instructions: Jump Starting a Vehicle
Follow these steps carefully to jump start your vehicle:
- Preparation:
- Ensure the jump starter is sufficiently charged (at least 50% recommended).
- Turn off the vehicle's ignition and all accessories (lights, radio, AC).
- Place the vehicle in park (automatic) or neutral (manual) and engage the parking brake.
- Connect Jumper Cables to Jump Starter:
Insert the blue plug of the intelligent jumper cable clamps firmly into the ECS Output port on the jump starter. Ensure a secure connection.

- Connect Clamps to Vehicle Battery:
- Connect the red (+) clamp to the positive (+) terminal of the vehicle's battery.
- Connect the black (-) clamp to the negative (-) terminal of the vehicle's battery.
If the intelligent jumper cables emit a buzz sound and a red light blinks, it indicates an incorrect connection (e.g., reverse polarity). Disconnect immediately and re-check the connections.

- Start the Vehicle:
Once the clamps are correctly connected and the intelligent cable indicator is solid green (or off, depending on model), start the vehicle's engine. If the vehicle does not start on the first attempt, wait at least 30 seconds before trying again.
