• 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.

DC POWER PORT

For proper and safe operation of the DC power accessory outlet, do not place anything into it except the plug of the accessory to be used.

Overloading the port may result in “tripping” a self-resetting circuit breaker. Removing the overload automatically restores power to the DC Power Port.

1. Insert the DC cable jack into the DC output port.

2. Select the appropriate connection head and attach to the other end of the cable.

3. Set master switch to the “I” position.

4. Using the MODE button, press (not hold) to select the voltage your device requires.

5. After use, turn off the master switch (“O” position).

6. Recharge the iOnBoost as soon as possible.

USING THE USB SOCKET

1. Connect the USB device to the iOnBoost with either a user-supplied cable or the included 4-in-1 USB adapter.

2. Slide the master switch to the “I” position.

3. When your mobile device is fully charged, disconnect your device from the iOnBoost and slide the master switch back to “O”.

4. If the charge in the iOnBoost is low, the USB port will shut off to prevent damage to the iOnBoost. Recharge the iOnBoost as soon as possible.

LED FLASHLIGHT

The light will automatically shut off before the iOnBoost runs out of power.

1. Set master switch to the “I” position.

2. Hold down the “MODE” button until the indicator lights turn on (~3 seconds).
