Follow these steps carefully to jump start your vehicle:

  1. Ensure the jump starter is sufficiently charged (at least 75% recommended).
  2. Turn off the vehicle's ignition and all accessories (lights, radio, etc.).
  3. Connect the smart battery clamps to the jump starter's output port. Ensure it is fully inserted.
  4. Attach the red positive (+) clamp to the positive (+) terminal of the vehicle's battery.
  5. Attach the black negative (-) clamp to the negative (-) terminal of the vehicle's battery.
  6. Observe the indicator on the smart battery clamps. If it glows solid green, the connection is correct and safe to proceed. If it flashes red/green or shows an error, recheck connections and refer to the troubleshooting section.
  7. Once the indicator is solid green, start the vehicle's engine.
  8. After the engine starts, immediately remove the smart battery clamps from the vehicle battery, first the negative (-) clamp, then the positive (+) clamp.
