4. Operating Instructions
The unit should be operated only in locations that meet the following requirements:
- (1) Dry: Do not allow water or other liquids to drop on or splash the unit.
- (2) Cool: Ambient air temperature should be between 0 and 40°C (32 and 104°F)—the cooler the better within this range.
- (3) Ventilated: Leave at least 2" (5 cm) clearance around the Battery Booster Pack for air flow. Ensure that the ventilation openings are not obstructed.
- (4) Safe: Do not operate the unit in enclosed areas where batteries may be stored or in any compartment capable of storing flammable liquids like gasoline.
- (5) Protected: Do not operate the unit where it will be exposed to battery gases. These gases are very corrosive and prolonged exposure will damage the Battery Booster Pack.
ℹ️ NOTE: Closely follow these instructions for jump starting a vehicle as they may be different from the instructions supplied with other boosting products or boosting cables.
Jump Starting Procedures:
- Turn off the vehicle and all accessories.
- Place the Battery Booster Pack on a flat and stable surface near the battery which needs to be started. Ensure that the Booster Pack power switch is "OFF".
- Connect the red positive (➕) clamp of the cables to the positive (➕) terminal of the engine battery.
- Connect the black negative (➖) clamp of the cables to the engine block, cylinder head, or other stationary heavy metal part of the stalled vehicle. If the red "Battery Clips Incorrect" LED illuminates, then reverse polarity has been detected. Correct polarity must be established before proceeding. Disconnect the boosting clamps from the vehicle's battery and repeat steps (3) and (4).
- Note: If vehicle battery voltage is less than 2.5V, the LED will not turn on, but you can still jumpstart.
- Turn the power switch on. Before starting the engine, make sure the Booster Pack and the cables are clear of metal parts and other moving objects.
- Start the engine for 3 seconds or until it starts, whichever is first.
⚠️ WARNING: Fire hazard Do not try starting the engine for more than 3 seconds. The boosting feature is designed for short term operation only. Operating the boosting feature for more than 3 seconds may cause damage to the unit. Allow the Battery Booster Pack to cool down for at least 3 minutes after each boost.
- Turn the power switch off.
- Disconnect both clamps in reverse order and place them back in the holders.
5. Recharging
ℹ️ NOTE: Recharge the Battery Booster Pack as soon as possible after each use. When the Battery Booster Pack is not being used, it should be recharged every 3 months!
