RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES.
WORKING IN THE VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID BATTERY IS 1.11
DANGEROUS. BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING
NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION. FOR THIS REASON, IT IS OF UTMOST
IMPORTANCE THAT YOU FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS EACH TIME YOU
USE THE INSTANT POWER™.
• 1 •
To reduce the risk of a battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published 1.12
by the battery manufacturer and the manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use
in the vicinity of the battery. Review the cautionary markings on these products and on
the engine.
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS2.
RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES. A SPARK
NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE A
BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE THE
RISK OF A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY:
NEVER smoke or allow a spark or 2.1
ame in the vicinity of a battery or engine.
Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches when 2.2
working with a lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit current
high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, causing a severe burn.
Be extra cautious, to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool onto the battery. It might 2.3
spark or short-circuit the battery or other electrical part that may cause an explosion.
Do not permit the internal battery of the Instant Power™ to freeze. Never charge a 2.4
frozen battery.
To prevent sparking, NEVER allow clips to touch together or contact the same piece of metal.2.5
Consider having someone nearby to come to your aid when you work near a 2.6
lead-acid battery.
Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts your skin, 2.7
clothing or eyes.
Wear complete eye and body protection, including safety goggles and protective 2.8
clothing. Avoid touching your eyes while working near the battery.
If battery acid contacts your skin or clothing, immediately wash the area with soap and 2.9
water. If acid enters your eye, immediately ood the eye with cold running water for at
least 10 minutes and get medical attention right away.
If battery acid is accidentally swallowed, drink milk, the whites of eggs or water. DO NOT 2.10
induce vomiting. Seek medical attention immediately.
PREPARING TO USE THE INSTANT POWER™3.
RISK OF CONTACT WITH BATTERY ACID. BATTERY ACID
IS A HIGHLY CORROSIVE SULFURIC ACID.
Be sure the area around the battery is well ventilated 3.1
while the jump starter is being used.
Clean the battery terminals before using the jump starter. 3.2
During cleaning, keep airborne corrosion from coming into
contact with your eyes, nose and mouth. Use baking soda and water to neutralize the
battery acid and help eliminate airborne corrosion. Do not touch your eyes, nose or mouth.
Add distilled water to each cell until the battery acid reaches the level specied by the 3.3
battery manufacturer. Do not overll. For a battery without removable cell caps, such as
valve regulated lead acid batteries (VRLA), carefully follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Read, understand and follow all instructions for the Instant Power™, battery, vehicle and 3.4
any equipment used near the battery and Instant Power™. Study all of the vehicle and
battery manufacturer’s specic precautions to be followed while jump starting.
Determine the voltage of the battery by referring to the vehicle owner’s manual and 3.5
make sure that the output voltage of the jump starter is correct.
Make sure that the Instant Power™ cable clips make tight connections.3.6

INSTANT POWER4. ™ LOCATION
RISK OF EXPLOSION AND CONTACT WITH
BATTERY ACID.
Locate the Instant Power™ as far away 4.1
from the battery as the DC cables permit.
Never place the Instant Power™ 4.2
directly above the battery being jumped; gases
from the battery will corrode and damage the Instant Power™.

CHARGING THE INTERNAL BATTERY OF THE INSTANT POWER™6.
IMPORTANT: CHARGE IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASE, AFTER EACH USE
AND EVERY 30 DAYS TO KEEP THE INSTANT POWER™ INTERNAL BATTERY
FULLY CHARGED.
LED Indicators6.1
To check the internal battery’s status, press the Battery Status button on the front of the
Instant Power™.
The LED lights will indicate the charge level as follows:
A red LED indicates a 50% or less charge, and you should immediately recharge the •
Instant Power™.
A yellow LED indicates a 50 to 75% charge. The Instant Power™ may be used, but •
should be recharged as soon as possible.
A green LED indicates the internal battery is fully charged.•
NOTE: The internal battery’s percent of charge is most accurate when the Instant
Power™ has been disconnected from all devices and charging sources for a few hours.
Charging the Internal Battery using the Built-In Charger6.2
To charge, ip the AC connector on the back of the Instant Power™ up and plug an 1.
18 gauge (AWG) (0.82 mm2) or larger extension cord onto it. (Extension cord not
included; must be purchased separately.)
Plug the other end of the extension cord into a 120V AC electrical wall outlet.2.
The RED LED will light indicating charging.3.
The GREEN LED will light when the battery has reached full charge. This could 4.
take up to 72 hours, due to the age and condition of the battery. The charger will
automatically go into maintain mode and maintain the battery at full charge without
damaging it.
