Operating Instructions: Jump Starting a Vehicle

Ensure the jump starter is at least 50% charged before attempting to jump-start a vehicle.

  1. Connect Jumper Cables: Insert the blue end of the smart jumper cables into the 12V Start Output port on the jump starter. Ensure a firm connection.
  2. Attach Clamps to Battery:
    • Attach the red (+) clamp to the positive terminal of the vehicle's battery.
    • Attach the black (-) clamp to the negative terminal of the vehicle's battery.

    The smart clamps will indicate a correct connection (e.g., green light). If an error is detected (e.g., reverse polarity), the clamps will alert you.

  3. Start Vehicle: Once the clamps indicate a safe connection, start your vehicle's engine.
  4. Remove Clamps: After the engine starts, immediately remove the jumper cables from the vehicle battery, then disconnect the cables from the jump starter.
