recommended operating temperature range). If the cooler internal air temperature
drops below -40˚F(-40˚C) or rises above 140˚F(60˚C), the "on/off" light, "Freeze-1" light, and "Freeze-2" light will all
flash, warning users to immediately turn off the product and correct the extreme temperature condition. The cooler can
be turned back on once the ambient temperature condition is within the recommended range and the cooler internal air
temperature rises above -40˚F(-40˚C) or drops below 140˚F (60˚C).

Using the ProductUsing the Product
1. Set the unit on a flat, solid surface with the lid facing up.
Do not use the unit on a surface tilted more than 12 degrees (5.6") as it may result in malfunction. Set
up the unit in a location that does not interfere with driving. Secure the unit to prevent shifting or tipping.
2. If in vehicle, start the engine.
Caution
The unit will not operate at 24 VDC.
3. Insert the DC plug into the DC power socket of the cooler.
Caution
• The DC power cable has a (+) and (-).
Align the protrusion of the DC socket with the indentation in the DC power
cable and insert. Inserting the top and bottom in reverse will cause damage.
• This unit cannot be used in 24 VDC vehicles (trucks, buses, etc.).
It is designed for 12 VDC only. Attaching it to a 24 VDC source will cause damage.
• Always check the "on/off" switch to make sure it is in desired status
after extended low voltage or power interuption.
The unit will shut off automatically to protect the battery under
conditions such as extended car engine cranking.
• Be careful of the current capacity.
When using this product together with other electrical products in the
vehicle, do not exceed the capacity of the vehicle. A fuse may blow.
• Use only the power cable and power supply supplied with your cooler.
If you need replacements, contact The Coleman Company, Inc. for replacements by calling one of the numbers on the front cover of this manual.
