Charging the Jump Starter
Before initial use, fully charge the Sharmeal GL985. For optimal charging performance, use the original Type-C charging cable provided.

Note: The input for charging should be 2A. Using chargers exceeding 2A may trigger safety mechanisms and prevent charging.
Operating Instructions: Jump Starting a Vehicle
Follow these steps carefully to safely jump-start your vehicle:
- Ensure the jump starter is sufficiently charged (preferably above 50%).
- Insert the smart jumper cable plug into the 12V Start Output port on the jump starter. The traffic lights on the smart clip will flash alternately.
