Insert the blue end of the heavy-duty jumper cables into the jump starter's dedicated port. Ensure a secure connection. - Step 2: Connect Clamps to Car Battery
Attach the red (+) clamp to the positive terminal of the car battery. Attach the black (-) clamp to the negative terminal of the car battery. The smart clamps will provide visual and audible feedback if connected incorrectly. - Step 3: Start Vehicle
Once the clamps are correctly connected and the device indicates readiness, start your car engine. If the car does not start immediately, wait 30 seconds and try again. Do not attempt more than 3 consecutive starts. - Step 4: Disconnect
Once the engine starts, immediately disconnect the black (-) clamp from the car battery, then the red (+) clamp, and finally remove the jumper cables from the jump starter.
