- Connect the RED clamp to the vehicle's battery positive (+) terminal and connect the BLACK clamp to the vehicle's battery negative (-) terminal.
- Turn the ignition key to the first position so that the Li+ Power Bank detects a current draw and activates properly. (For push-button systems, push the ignition button twice without depressing the brake to engage the smart cable).
- When the LED Screen displays a solid Green "8", you have a proper connection and are ready to start the vehicle. If the LED screen shows a solid red "8" or alternating red/green "8", refer to the troubleshooting guide on page 9.
- If the Li+ Power Bank displays a solid green "8", you have a proper connection and can start the engine. Note: Do not hold the key ON for more than 4 seconds at a time. Warning: If the engine does not start initially, allow the Li+ Power Bank to rest and cool for at least 30 seconds before any other starting attempts.
- Once the vehicle has started, turn the power button to the "OFF" position. Remove the jumper cable from the Li+ Power Bank and disconnect the RED and BLACK clamps from the vehicle battery terminals.
- Note: Once the engine is running, be sure to allow enough time for the vehicle's alternator to restore charge to the vehicle's battery before turning it off again.
