dry-cell batteries that are commonly used with home
appliances. These batteries may burst and cause
injury to persons and damage property.
•Check the polarity of the vehicle battery terminals
before connecting the appliance. Always disconnect
the negative (black) jumper cable first: followed by
the positive (red) jumper cable.
•The jump-starter power switch should be in the off
position before connection to a power source or
load, when the unit is charging and when not in use.
•Never allow the red and black clamps to touch each
other or another common metal conductor. This
could cause damage to the appliance and/or create a
sparking/explosion hazard. Always store the battery
clamps in the built-in holders when not in use.
•When using this unit in proximity to the vehicle’s
battery and engine, stand the unit on a flat, stable

CHARGERS
The following symbols are found on your mains
charger:
Your charger is double
insulated; therefore no earth
wire is required.
Your charger is a switch mode
power supply unit.
Your charger incorporates
a short-circuit-proof safety
isolating transformer
(inherently or non-inherently)
Indication of correct connection
of your charger.

Efficiency Level V standard
for no-load condition electric
power consumption and
average active efficiency of
external power supplies.
Your charger is rated to IP20
degree of protection provided
by the enclosure.
Your charger has been designed for a specific voltage.
Always check that the mains voltage corresponds to
the voltage on the rating plate.
Warning! Never attempt to replace the charger unit

PERSONAL SAFETY
Always have protective eyewear when using this
product: contact with battery acid may cause
blindness and/or severe burns. Be aware of first aid
procedures in case of accidental contact with battery
acid.
Avoid touching the eyes while working with a battery.
Acid, acid particles or corrosion may get into the eyes.
Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case
battery acid contacts skin.
Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets,
necklaces and watches when working with a lead-acid
battery. A lead-acid battery can produce a short circuit
current high enough to cause a severe burn.
Be extra cautious to reduce the risk of dropping a
metal object onto the battery. This might cause sparks
or short-circuit the battery or other electrical part,
which can cause an explosion.
Warning! Battery fluid is a diluted sulphuric acid and
may cause personal injury or damage to property. In
case of skin or eye contact, follow the instructions
below.
•In case of skin contact, immediately rinse with water.
If redness, pain or irritation occurs seek medical
attention.
•In case of eye contact, rinse immediately with clean
water and seek immediate medical attention.

CHARGING THE UNIT
This unit is shipped in a partially charged state.
•Charge the unit before first use using the mains
charging adapter for 24 hours.
Lead-acid batteries need to be kept fully charged and
well maintained to ensure they continue to function
properly. All batteries lose energy from self-discharge
over time and more rapidly at higher temperatures.
When the unit is not in use, manufacturer recommend
that the battery is charged at least every 30 days.
•Check the battery charge level by pressing the
battery status button. The battery status LED
indicators will show the level of battery charge.
When only one red LED lights, charge the unit.
•Make sure all other unit functions are turned off
during recharging, as this can slow the recharging
process.
Note: Charging the battery after each use will prolong the battery
life; frequent heavy discharges between charges and/or
overcharging will reduce battery life.
Important! When the battery is overly discharged and
if the green LED is lit when the charger is plugged in,
this indicates the battery is at a high impedance stage.
In this event, recharge the unit for a period of 24
hours before use.
•Insert the jack of the mains charging adapter into the
charging socket on the back of the unit.
•Insert the mains charging adapter plug into a mains
power socket.
•Charge until the green battery status LED indicator
lights solid or flashes.
•Disconnect the mains charging adapter from the
mains power socket and then remove the plug of
mains charging adapter from the charging socket
on the back of the unit. Press the battery status
button. If all 3 status lights illuminate, the unit is fully
charged. Store the mains charging adapter in a safe
place.
USE
Using the jump-starter
1. Turn off the vehicles ignition and all accessories
before making any connections.
2. Make sure that the jump-starter power switch is
turned off.
3. Check polarity of battery posts. Positive (POS, P,
+) battery post usually has larger diameter than
negative (NEG, N, –) post.
4. Determine which post of the battery is grounded
(connected to the chassis). If negative post is
grounded (as in most vehicles), see 5. If positive
post is grounded, see 6.
5. For negative-grounded vehicle, connect positive
(red) clamp from battery charger to positive
(POS, P, +) ungrounded post of battery. Connect

negative (black) clamp to vehicle chassis or
engine block away from battery. Do not connect
clip to carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet-metal body
parts. Connect to heavy gauge metal part of the
frame or engine block.
6. For positive-grounded vehicle, connect negative
(black) clamp from battery charger to negative
(NEG, N, –) ungrounded post of battery. Connect
positive (red) clamp to vehicle chassis or engine
block away from battery. Do-not connect clip to
carburetor, fuel lines or sheet-metal body parts.
Connect to a heavy gauge metal part of the frame
or engine block.
Important! If the connections to the battery’s
positive and negative terminals are incorrect,
the Reverse Polarity Indicator will light and the
unit will sound a continuous alarm until the
clamps are disconnected. Disconnect clamps and
reconnect to battery with correct polarity.
7. Turn the jump-starter power switch to the on
position.
8. Start the vehicle and crank the engine in 3 to 6
second bursts.
Important! If the engine doesn’t start within 6
seconds let the units internal battery cool for 3
minutes before making another attempt.
9. When the vehicle starts, turn the jump-starter off/
on switch to the off position.
10. Leave the vehicle’s engine running.
11. Disconnect the (–) black clamp connected to the
engine or chassis first, followed by the (+) red
clamp that is connected to the battery positive (+)
terminal.
12. Carefully press the negative (black) jumper cable
wire into the storage channel starting at the end
furthest from the clamp.
13. Clamp the negative (black) clamp onto the clamp
holder.
14. Carefully press the positive (red) jumper cable
wire into the storage channel starting at the end
furthest from the clamp.
15. Clamp the positive (red) clamp onto the clamp
holder.
16. Charge the unit as soon as possible.
17. Make sure that the jump-starter power switch
is turned off while the unit is being charged or
stored.
