Specific Safety Instructions for Jump Starters:

• WARNING: BURST HAZARD: Only use for charging lead-acid batteries. Do not use for dry-cell batteries.
• WARNING: RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES: Batteries generate explosive gases. Never smoke or allow sparks/flames near batteries.
• CAUTION: NEVER attempt to jump-start or charge a frozen battery.
• Consult vehicle owner's manual for compatibility with external starting assistance.
• Remove personal metal items (rings, watches) when working with batteries.
• Avoid dropping metal tools onto the battery.
• Perform jump-start procedures in a safe, dry, well-ventilated area.
• Never let battery clamps touch each other or common metal conductors.
• Connect clamps correctly: Positive (red) to positive terminal, Negative (black) to vehicle chassis or engine block away from the battery.
• If clamps are connected incorrectly, the unit will sound an alarm and display reverse polarity icons. Disconnect and reconnect with correct polarity.
• Disconnect negative (black) cable first, then positive (red) cable (unless positive-grounded system).
• Protect battery terminals with tape before disposal.

Specific Safety Instructions for AC Power Outlet:

• The AC outlet provides a total power draw of 200W. Ensure appliance power consumption is below 200 watts.
• The output waveform is a modified sine wave, suitable for most AC loads.
• Protective features include low/high battery voltage, thermal shutdown, and overload/short circuit protection.
• If a fault occurs (low battery, high battery, thermal, overload, short circuit), the AC outlet will shut down automatically. The LCD will display fault indicators.
• To resolve faults: disconnect appliance, turn AC outlet off, check battery charge, allow unit to cool, ensure appliance is within rating, and check ventilation.
• Press the AC Power Button to turn the outlet on/off.

Specific Safety Instructions for USB Ports:

• Do not insert foreign objects into USB ports.
• Do not attach USB hubs or more than one device per USB port.
• The four USB ports provide a combined total of 6.2A (3.1A per pair of ports).
• The unit monitors for USB fault conditions (thermal, low/high battery voltage, overload, short circuit). If a fault occurs, USB ports shut down, and indicators flash blue.
• USB ports do not support data communication; they only provide power.
• Press the USB Power Button to turn USB ports on/off.

Specific Safety Instructions for Compressors:

• CAUTION: Never leave the compressor unattended.
• Do not operate continuously for longer than 10 minutes to prevent overheating. If longer operation is needed, turn off for 30 minutes between cycles.
• WARNING: BURST HAZARD: Do not exceed recommended pressure for items being inflated. Monitor pressure on LCD.
• Follow instructions on items to be inflated.
