This jump starter/converter may not
be used with life support devices or
systems. Failure of this converter can
reasonably be expected to cause failure
of that life support device or system, or
to affect the safety or effectiveness of

4. CHARGING THE INTERNAL BATTERY OF THE PORTABLE POWER
IMPORTANT! CHARGE IMMEDIATELY
AFTER PURCHASE, AFTER EACH
USE AND EVERY 30 DAYS, TO KEEP
THE PORTABLE POWER’S INTERNAL
BATTERY FULLY CHARGED AND
PROLONG BATTERY LIFE.
CHECKING THE LEVEL
OF THE INTERNAL BATTERY
To check the internal battery’s charge status,
press the Battery % button.
The Digital Display will show the battery’s
percent of charge. Charge the internal
battery if the display shows it is under 100%.
NOTE: The internal battery’s percent of
charge is most accurate when the jump
starter has been disconnected from all
devices and charging sources for a few
hours.
CHARGING THE INTERNAL BATTERY
Charge the internal battery for the
portable power using an extension cord
(not included).
NOTE: Use of an improper extension cord
could result in a risk of re and electric shock.
1. To charge, ip the AC connector on
the back of the unit DOWN and plug in
an 18 AWG or larger extension cord.
2. Plug the extension cord into a 120VAC
electrical wall outlet.
3. While the jump starter is charging,
the marching dashes will show on
the digital display. When the internal
battery is fully charged, the display
will show a smaller, pulsing “ioo” (for
energy efciency). Complete charging
may take up to 72 hours.
• 6 •
4. When the internal battery is fully
charged, the charger will automatically
go into maintain mode and maintain the
battery at full charge without damaging
it. When in maintain mode, the Battery
% LED will pulse, as long as there is an
AC cord connected to the charging port.
5. Charge the jump starter as soon as
possible after use.
CHARGING THE INTERNAL BATTERY
WHILE DRIVING
You may also charge the internal battery
while driving, using a 12V port charging
cable (part number 94500109 –
not included).
IMPORTANT: WHEN USING A 12V PORT
CHARGING CABLE, DO NOT CHARGE
INTERNAL BATTERY FOR MORE THAN
30 MINUTES OR LEAVE THE BATTERY
UNATTENDED. IT COULD EXPLODE,
CAUSING PROPERTY DAMAGE OR
PERSONAL INJURY.
1. Make sure the car is running.
2. Insert one end of the accessory cable
into the 12V DC power outlet.
3. Insert the other end of the accessory
cable into the vehicle’s accessory
outlet (lighter socket).
NOTE: The Battery % LED does not
operate during this method of charging.
Using this method to charge the battery
overrides the maintain mode and the
battery can be overcharged.
4. Monitor the progress of the charge by
pressing the Battery % button. When
the battery is fully charged, disconnect
the accessory cable from the Portable
Power, then from the lighter socket of
the vehicle.
NOTE: Completely disconnect the charger
cable when the engine is not running.
5. USING THE PORTABLE POWER
DIGITAL DISPLAY
To check the jump starter’s internal
battery status, press the Battery %
button. The display will show the percent
of charge of the internal battery.
When connected to the vehicle with the
Jump Start On/Off switch in the OFF
position, the display shows the vehicle’s
battery voltage. When connected and in
the ON position, the display shows the
equalized voltage between the vehicle’s
battery and internal battery.
JUMP STARTING A VEHICLE
IMPORTANT: Using the Jump Start
feature without a battery installed in
the vehicle will damage the vehicle’s
electrical system.
1. Turn the ignition OFF.
2. Lay the DC cables away from any
fan blades, belts, pulleys and other
moving parts.
3. For a negative-ground vehicle (as in
most vehicles), connect the portable
power’s POSITIVE (RED) clamp to
the POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery
post. Next, connect the NEGATIVE
(BLACK) clamp to the vehicle chassis
or engine block, away from the battery.
4. For a positive-ground vehicle, connect
the portable power’s NEGATIVE
(BLACK) clamp to the NEGATIVE
(NEG, N, -) battery post. Next,
connect the POSITIVE (RED) clamp
to the vehicle chassis or engine block
away from the battery.
IMPORTANT: If you have connected the
clamps backwards, an audio alarm will
sound. DO NOT turn the On/Off switch to
the ON position. This could cause serious
damage to the jump starter or the vehicle.
Reverse the connections and the audio
alarm will stop.
5. Turn the switch to the ON position.
6. Crank the engine for no more than
8 seconds. If the engine does not start,
wait 2 minutes before cranking again.
7. After the engine starts, turn the switch
to the OFF position and remove the
portable power from the battery.
8. Charge the portable power.
