Jumpstarting a Vehicle
lf
your
battery is too weak to start
your
vehicle,
you
can use the Jumpstart
System.
Make
sure
that the vehicle's
accessories
are all turned off
(lights,
AC,
heater, radio, etc.)
prior
to using the Jumpstart System.
For maximum
power,
make sure there are no 12-volt accessories connected to the unit.
Turn the dome light
of
your
vehicle
ON.
Even if
your
battery does not have
enough
"juice"
left to
actually
make it illuminate.
Plug the Portable Power
Source
into
your
vehicle's 12-volt
power port.
Turn the
ignition key to the
"accessory" position.
Push the
ON/OFF
switch
on
the unit to
turn
it
ON.
The LED light marked "VL" will illuminate AMBER/GREEN.
Your dome light
should
begin to brighten, showing that the unit is charging
your
battery.
lf
the dome
light was not lit
before,
it
should
begin
to
light up. At
this
point,
turn
your
dome
light
off
for maximum
charging.
Keep the Portable Power Source
plugged
in for about 40 minutes. After this
time
you
can try to start
your
vehicle. lf it does not start, DO NOTTRYTO START
lT AGAIN.
Wait
another
20 minutes
before
you
try to start
your
vehicle again.
Your vehicle should start.
After
jumpstarting
your
vehicle, recharge the Poftable Power
Source.
Please be sure to reference
your
vehicle's owner's manual.
Gheck
to
be
sure
if there are any
other
requirements for
your
vehicle when
jumpstarting
it.
Power forYour 12-Volt Accessories
The 12-volt
power pofts
will
operate
most 12-volt
accessories
with
a
draw
of
10
amps
or
less.
(Check
the
accessory
for the rated
amperage.)
Note: lf
you
connect a dc/ac
power
inverter
(such
as a COLEMAN@
POWERMATE@ PMP200)
to the
12-volt
power port
in order to operate an AC
powered
accessory,
run time may be reduced due to the design
parameters
of
the inverter. Typically,
power
invefters will
shut off
when input voltage is
below
10 - 10.5 volts.
So even though there
is reserve
capacity
in
the
Portable Power
Source, the
inverter
may shut down as voltage drops below approximately 10.5
volts.
You
do
not need
to
plug
the unit into
your
vehicle's 12-volt
power port
to
operate a
12-volt
accessory. Simply
plug
the 12-volt item
you
wish to operate
into the
power port
on the Portable Power
Source.
This will
provide
a
portable
power
source that
you
can take with
you
anywhere.
lf the LED light marked
"VL"
changes
from
GREEN/AMBER to
RED,
discontinue
use IMMEDIATELY lt is
time to
recharge
the unit.
Successfully using a Jumpstart System
Jumpstart systems, in
general,
are designed
to
provide
emergency battery
power
to
jumpstart
a vehicle with a
low
battery.
They
are
not designed to
provide
long-term battery backup
nor
are
they designed to operate
high
amper-
age equipment or
components for extended
periods
of
time.
Depending on
your
vehicle's condition and
power
requirements,
any
jumpstart
may or may not
provide
adequate
voltage to successfully start
your
vehicle.
Just as
your
vehicle's battery
provides
a certain amount of
reserve capacity, a
jumpstart
system
has
similar
limitations. lt is
possible
that a
jumpstart's
internal battery may be depleted
before
you
can start
your
engine.
The ambient
temperature can affect the
performance
of
the
jumpstart
system.
A
battery
at
zero
degrees
has less reserve capacity than a
battery
at
sixty degrees.
This
condition
applies to both a
jumpstart
system and
your
vehicle's battery.
ln
the event
that
your
vehicle fails to start after
repeated attempts, additional
servicing or tune
up may be required. Consult
your
dealership or
local servicing
professional
for advice.
