• Only use with negative grounded systems.
• Do not reverse jumper cables.
• Use safety glasses to protect eyes while jumpstarting a battery.
• If the engine fails to start after two attempts, discontinue jumpstart procedure. Excessive
engine cranking can damage the vehicle’s starter motor. Look for other problems that may
need to be corrected or call for professional service.
• Disconnect the clamps from the vehicle battery immediately after engine starts. Return the
cable clamps to their storage holsters when not in use.
• Vehicles equipped with on-board computers may be affected if the engine battery is
jumpstarted. Read your vehicle owner’s manual before attempting to start the vehicle to
determine if external starting assistance can be used.
• If the iOnBoost is overloaded while in the jumpstart mode, quickly disconnect the clamps
and let the unit rest for ten minutes then plug it into a power source for a few minutes to reset
the unit. All functions on the iOnBoost will not operate until this is done.
Procedure
1. Turn off the vehicle ignition and all accessories (radios, lights, air conditioners), and
disconnect electronic devices.
2. Set the emergency brake and put vehicles with automatic transmission in park position.
3. Determine the polarity of the vehicle’s battery terminals. The positive (POS, P, +) battery
terminal usually is red and larger in diameter than the negative (NEG, N, −) terminal. If you
are unsure, first refer to the vehicle owner’s manual.
4. Remove clamps from the holders. Never allow clamps (positive & negative terminals) to
touch together or contact the same piece of metal to prevent short-circuits and arcing.
5. Insert the blue plug of the jumper cables into the iOnBoost’s jumper terminal.
6. Securely connect the positive (+) red clamp to the positive (POS, P, +) terminal of the vehicle
battery or the remote positive (+) terminal if equipped.
7. Securely connect the negative (−) black clamp to an unpainted metal surface on the engine
of the dead car. Find an unpainted bolt or bracket that is as far from the dead battery as
possible. This will provide a solid ground while further reducing the possibility of igniting
any hydrogen gas.
8. Place unit on a secure surface away from moving parts.
9. Start vehicle engine. Stop if the vehicle does not start after 3 seconds of engine cranking.
Wait 3 to 4 minutes, then try again. If engine does not start after second attempt,
discontinue and consult a professional.
10. After engine starts, disconnect the negative (black) clamp first, then the positive (red) clamp,
and lastly, the blue jumper cable plug.
