Charging the Jump Starter

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

1. Connect the Type-C charging cable to the Type-C input port on the jump starter.
2. Connect the other end of the charging cable to a compatible USB power adapter (not included with all specifications, refer to your package contents).
3. The LED display will indicate the charging progress. Charge until the display shows 100%.

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:

1. Ensure the jump starter is sufficiently charged (preferably above 50%).
2. 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.
3. Connect the red clamp to the positive (+) terminal of your vehicle's battery.
4. Connect the black clamp to the negative (-) terminal of your vehicle's battery.
5. Once connected correctly, the green light on the smart clip will illuminate, indicating a successful connection. If the red light flashes with an audible beep, check for incorrect connection or a short circuit.
6. Return to your vehicle and start the engine.
7. Once the vehicle starts, immediately remove the jumper cables from the vehicle battery, then disconnect them from the jump starter.
