NOTE: Use of an improper extension cord
could result in a risk of re and electric shock.
1. To charge, plug an extension cord into the
charger port on the back of the jump starter.
2. Plug the extension cord into a 120VAC
electrical wall outlet.
3. While the jump starter is charging, the
RED LED will be on. When the internal
battery is fully charged, the RED LED will
