Overview

Common Actions and Unit Responses

Note: The unit will automatically power off once ALL the functions are turned off.

Viewing Battery Status

To check the unit’s battery charge level, press the Battery Status Button. The Battery Icon will indicate the battery charge level as follows:

Charging/Recharging

Lead-acid batteries require routine maintenance to ensure a full charge and long battery life. All batteries lose energy from self-discharge over time and more rapidly at higher temperatures. Therefore, batteries need periodic charging to replace energy lost through self-discharge. When the unit is not in frequent use, manufacturer recommends that the battery should be recharged at least every 30 days and after each use.

IMPORTANT: If you attempt to use the unit when the unit’s battery charge level is too low, the unit will automatically shut down. Recharge the unit with all other functions turned off as soon as possible.

Notes: This unit is delivered in a partially charged state – you must fully charge it before using it for the first time. Initial AC charge should be for 40 hours. Recharging battery after each use will prolong battery life; frequent heavy discharges between recharges and/or overcharging will reduce battery life. Make sure all other unit functions are turned off during recharging, as this can slow the recharging process.

CAUTION – Risk of property damage: Failure to keep the battery charged will cause permanent damage and result in poor jump starting performance.

IMPORTANT: If you know the unit is discharged, but the battery icon displays four solid bars as if the unit is fully charged when connected to a charging power source, this may be due to the internal battery having high impedance. The manufacturer suggests leaving the unit charging for a period of 40 hours using the built-in AC charger before use.

Charging/Recharging Using the Built-In 120 Volt AC Charger and AC Extension Cord (not included)

  1. Lift the protective cover of the built-in 120 volt AC charger located on the lower left front of the unit. Connect an extension cord to the unit. Plug the other end of the cord into a standard 120-volt AC wall outlet. When the unit is properly connected to an AC power source, the LCD screen will display the following (the screen will be backlit): The bars on the battery icon represent the capacity level of the unit’s internal battery. After 10 seconds, the backlight will shut off. The bars on the battery icon will change from empty to solid (bottom to top) repeatedly to indicate the unit is charging.
  2. Charge for approximately 40 hours or until the battery icon shows 4 solid bars.
  3. When charging is complete, unplug the AC extension cord from the AC outlet and then disconnect it from the unit.
