CAUTION: Recharge the emergency booster for at least 5 hours immediately after purchase, and after each use. If not in use,
recharge the emergency booster at least once a month for 5 hours, to keep the internal battery perfectly efcient. Never leave
the emergency booster at for prolonged periods of time; the efciency of the internal battery might be signicantly
reduced, thus affecting the operation of the device.

• Before starting the vehicle, turn off the lights and any running accessories.
• CAUTION: Never allow the clips of the two clamps (positive-red and negative-red) to touch together.
• CAUTION: Never reverse polarity. Always connect the output lead with red clamp (+) to the positive post of the
battery, and the output lead with black clamp (-) to the vehicle’s chassis.
• CAUTION: REVERSED POLARITY CAN CAUSE AN EXPLOSION OR DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE, THE PRO
DUCT AND PEOPLE.
• Improper use of the emergency booster or tampering with the built-in electronic circuit will invalidate your warranty.
HOW TO RECHARGE THE EMERGENCY BOOSTER
The emergency booster can be charged either through the wall charger supplied with it or the 12V car charger.
CAUTION: Recharge the emergency booster for at least 5 hours immediately after purchase, and after each use. If not in
use, recharge the emergency booster at least once a month, to keep the internal battery perfectly efcient.
Charging the emergency booster using the WALL CHARGER
1. Make sure that no device is connected to the emergency booster (see section Using the emergency booster as a power
source). Move the ON/OFF switch to the ON position and press button to check the battery charging status (0% to 100%).
2. Plug the 230V charger into the emergency booster socket.
3. Plug the charger into the 230V mains socket. The display will turn on, and the battery charge percentage will
show up. Charge is complete when the 100% indicator appears on the display.
4. Now the battery charger can be disconnected from the booster.
5. If not in use, recharge the emergency booster at least once a month for 5 hours, to keep the internal battery
perfectly efcient. The battery charger of the emergency booster is automatic.
CAUTION: Only use the charger that was included with the booster.
CAUTION: If the battery is not fully charged after 5 hours, the battery charger will automatically stop charging. If this should
occur, have the booster checked by a trained service centre.
Charging the emergency booster using the CAR CHARGER
1. Make sure that no device is conn ected to the emergency booster (see section Using the emergency booster as a power
source). Move the ON/OFF switch to the ON position and press button to check the battery charging status
(0% to 100%).
2. Plug either end of the CAR CHARGER into the emergency booster socket.
3. Start the vehicle; then plug the other end of the car charger into the 12V DC cigarette lighter socket of the vehicle.
The display will turn on, and the battery charge percentage will show up. The message “IN 15V 1A” indicates that
the recharging plug has been correctly plugged into the booster, and that the battery is charging. When the battery
is fully charged, both the message “IN 15V 1A” and the display will turn off.
4. Now the battery charger can be disconnected from the booster.
CAUTION: Always disconnect the emergency booster from the cigarette lighter socket if the vehicle’s engine is not running.

HOW TO USE THE EMERGENCY BOOSTER
Using the emergency booster to start vehicles
1. Always wear protective goggles and keep your face away from the battery during connection operations.
2. Check that the installed battery is a 12V.
CAUTION: IF THE VOLTAGE OF THE EMERGENCY BOOSTER DOES NOT MATCH THE VOLTAGE OF THE VEHI-
CLE’S SYSTEM, AN EXPLOSION, OR DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE, THE PRODUCT AND PEOPLE COULD OCCUR.
3. Connect the starter cable supplied with the booster and check that both LEDs (red and green) on the connector are
ashing.
CAUTION: DO NOT CONNECT THE EMERGENCY BOOSTER TO THE BATTERY IF THE GREEN LED IS GLOWING
SOLID, BECAUSE PROTECTION IS DISABLED IN THIS MODE.
4. Determine which post of the battery is grounded to the chassis; in most vehicles, the negative post is grounded to the
chassis.
CAUTION: Never reverse polarity. Always connect the output lead with red clamp (+) to the positive post of the battery,
and the output lead with black clamp (-) to the vehicle’s chassis.
CAUTION: REVERSED POLARITY CAN CAUSE AN EXPLOSION OR DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE, THE PRODUCT
AND PEOPLE.
CAUTION: Check that the cables of the emergency booster are kept away from fans, moving parts and the fuel pipe.
6. Check that the green LED on the booster cable is on.
CAUTION: When the green LED goes on, the vehicle should be started within 30 seconds. After 30 seconds, the ignition
cable must be restored by disconnecting and connecting again either clamp.
7. Crank the engine.
8. After the engine starts, disconnect the output lead with black clamp from the vehicle’s chassis.
9. Disconnect the output lead with red clamp from the positive clip (+) of the battery.
CAUTION: IF THE ENGINE DOES NOT START, DISCONNECT EITHER CLAMP TO RESTORE THE STARTER CABLE.
CAUTION: Charge the emergency booster after each use.
IMPORTANT! Maintaining your vehicle’s battery properly will prolong its life; when you reach your destination, please
remember to plug a vehicle battery charger into your battery, to fully restore its efciency.
Troubleshooting
Problem Cause Solution
When starter cable is connected, a continuous
sound is heard.
Internal battery is at. Disconnect cable and charge emergency
booster.
After starter cable has been connected to car
battery, it is not activated (LEDs blink).
Car battery voltage is too low (<1.5V). Use different start systems.
After starter cable has been connected to car
battery, red LED glows solid and an intermittent
sound is heard.
Battery cables have been reversed. Disconnect cables from battery and connect
them again correctly.
After starter cable has been connected to car
battery, red LED glows solid and a continuous
sound is heard.
A short-circuit has occurred. Disconnect cables from battery and check
vehicle to clear short-circuit.
LCD display shows the word “EA”. Voltage of a cell of emergency booster battery
is too low.
Try to charge booster for at least two hours,
disconnect power supply, and then start a
normal charging cycle. If the word “EA” does not
disappear, please contact service centre.
