use, recharge once a month with the charger.
BATTERY STATUS
1. Turn on (depress the side of the switch marked “I”) the master power switch on
the control panel.
2. The battery charge level indicator LED lights on the control panel will illuminate
to indicate the amount of charge remaining in the Jumpstart System. When you
turn off the switch, the battery charge level indicator LED lights will go out.
• When the battery is fully charged, all four LEDs, including the two green
indicator lights, will illuminate.
• Red, amber and one green light indicates a 75 % charge.
• If only the red and yellow lights are illuminated, battery is at 50% capacity
and will operate most 12 volt accessories, but is inadequate for boosting
function. Unit should be recharged as soon as possible.
• When only the red indicator light is illuminated the battery is low and must
be recharged before further use.
OPERATING PROCEDURES
JUMPSTART AN ENGINE
WARNING! The Jumpstart must be fully charged to start an engine.
ENGLISH
FRANÇAIS
If your vehicle’s battery is too weak to start your car, you can use the Jumpstart
power supply to start it.
1. Check the vehicle manual for special procedures and prohibitions with particular regard for sensitive on-board electronics and computers which could be
damaged by the jumpstarting procedure.
2. Make sure the vehicle’s accessories, i.e.: lights, AC, heater, radio, etc., are all
turned off.
3. For maximum power, make sure all switches on the Jumpstart control panel are
turned off (depress the side of the switches marked “O”).
WARNING!
= Wear eye protection and protective clothing.
= Do not attempt to charge a battery with frozen electrolyte.
= The booster clamps are not switched by the master switch and are always live.
Do not allow the clamps to touch each other or to each touch a common piece
of metal.
= Working near a lead-acid battery is dangerous. Batteries generate explosive
gases during normal operation. Do not face the battery during connection and
stay as far as possible away from the battery being charged.
4. Place the Jumpstart unit on a at surface within the engine compartment so it
is stable and close enough to reach the battery’s positive terminal with the red
booster clamp. Ensure that the unit cannot fall into moving belts, fan blades,
or the like when the car shakes as it starts.
5. To remove the clamps from the safety holsters, lift them up, move them outward sideways, and lower them.
6. Securely connect the positive (red) battery booster clamp (N, g.1&2),
marked +, to the corresponding positive (+) terminal of the dead vehicle battery. Do not allow the positive (+) red battery booster clamp to contact any
part of the vehicle other than the positive terminal of the battery. This can
cause a momentary short in the battery or electrical system and result in expensive damage to vehicle electronic equipment.
7. Securely connect the negative (black) booster clamp (C, g.1&2), marked -,
to a grounding point such as the metal of the engine or vehicle chassis, as far
away from the battery as possible.
