4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Jump Starting a Vehicle
It is recommended to jump start a vehicle when the jump starter's battery level is above 75%.
- Connect Smart Clip: Insert the smart jumper cable's blue connector into the jump starter's output port. Ensure a secure connection.
- Attach Clamps: Connect the red clamp to the vehicle's positive (+) battery terminal and the black clamp to the vehicle's negative (-) battery terminal.
- Check Indicator: Observe the indicator light on the smart jumper cable.
- If the green light is solid, proceed to start your car.
- If the green light is flashing, press the "BOOST" button on the smart cable, then start your car when the light turns solid green. This is for deeply discharged batteries.
- If a red light or no light appears, check connections or refer to troubleshooting.
- Start Vehicle: Once the green light is solid, start your vehicle.
- Remove Clamps: After the vehicle starts, immediately remove the smart jumper cable clamps from the car battery, then disconnect the cable from the jump starter.

4.2 Using the Air Compressor
The air compressor features smart presets and auto-shutoff for convenient inflation.
- Connect Pump Tube: Screw the pump tube securely into the air compressor port on the jump starter.
- Connect to Item: Attach the other end of the pump tube to the item you wish to inflate (tire valve, ball, etc.), using the appropriate nozzle if necessary.
- Power On: Long press the power button on the jump starter to turn it on. The LCD screen will display the current pressure.
- Select Mode: Press the mode selection button (usually indicated by a triangle or 'M') to cycle through preset modes (SUV, Car/Motorcycle, Bike, Ball) or select the custom "Free Mode".
- SUV Mode: Default 36 PSI
- Car & Motorcycle Mode: Default 34 PSI
- Bike Mode: Default 44 PSI
- Ball Mode: Default 9 PSI
- Free Mode: Adjustable from 7 PSI to 150 PSI. Adjust target pressure using the '+' and '-' buttons.
- Start Inflation: Short press the power button to begin inflation. The compressor will automatically stop once the preset pressure is reached.
- Disconnect: Disconnect the pump tube from the item and the jump starter.
Important Note:
- Do not use the air pump function continuously for extended periods.
- If the air pump becomes seriously hot, allow it to cool down for a few minutes before resuming inflation to prevent damage.

6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Jump starter does not turn on. | Battery is completely discharged. | Charge the jump starter fully. |
| Vehicle does not start after connecting. | Incorrect clamp connection; jump starter battery too low; vehicle battery too deeply discharged. | Ensure clamps are correctly connected (red to +, black to -). Ensure jump starter is above 75% charge. If green light flashes, press "BOOST" button. |
| Air compressor stops or overheats. | Continuous use without cooling; internal safety mechanism activated. | Allow the air compressor to cool down for several minutes before continuing use. Avoid continuous operation for extended periods. |
| Inaccurate pressure reading on air compressor. | Loose connection to tire valve. | Ensure the pump tube is securely screwed onto the tire valve. |
| Electronic device not charging from power bank. | Jump starter battery low; incorrect cable; device not compatible. | Check jump starter battery level. Use a compatible USB cable. Ensure your device supports USB charging. |
