Jumpstarting a Vehicle
lf your battery is too weak to start your vehicle, you can use the Jumpstart
System. Make sure that the vehicle's accessories are all turned off (lights, AC,
heater, radio, etc.) prior to using the Jumpstart System. For maximum power,
make sure there are no 12-volt accessories connected to the unit.
Turn the dome light of your vehicle ON. Even if your battery does not have
enough "juice" left to actually make it illuminate.
Plug the Portable Power Source into your vehicle's 12-volt power port. Turn the
ignition key to the "accessory" position. Push the ON/OFF switch on the unit to
turn it ON. The LED light marked "VL" will illuminate AMBER/GREEN.
Your dome light should begin to brighten, showing that the unit is charging
your battery. lf the dome light was not lit before, it should begin to light up. At
this point, turn your dome light off for maximum charging.
Keep the Portable Power Source plugged in for about 40 minutes. After this
time you can try to start your vehicle. lf it does not start, DO NOTTRYTO START
lT AGAIN. Wait another 20 minutes before you try to start your vehicle again.
Your vehicle should start.
After jumpstarting your vehicle, recharge the Poftable Power Source.
Please be sure to reference your vehicle's owner's manual. Gheck to
be sure if there are any other requirements for your vehicle when
jumpstarting it.
Power forYour 12-Volt Accessories
The 12-volt power pofts will operate most 12-volt accessories with a draw of 10
amps or less. (Check the accessory for the rated amperage.)
Note: lf you connect a dc/ac power inverter (such as a COLEMAN@
POWERMATE@ PMP200) to the 12-volt power port in order to operate an AC
powered accessory, run time may be reduced due to the design parameters of
the inverter. Typically, power invefters will shut off when input voltage is below
10 - 10.5 volts. So even though there is reserve capacity in the Portable Power
Source, the inverter may shut down as voltage drops below approximately 10.5
volts.
You do not need to plug the unit into your vehicle's 12-volt power port to
operate a 12-volt accessory. Simply plug the 12-volt item you wish to operate
into the power port on the Portable Power Source. This will provide a portable
power source that you can take with you anywhere.
lf the LED light marked "VL" changes from GREEN/AMBER to RED, discontinue
use IMMEDIATELY lt is time to recharge the unit.
Successfully using a Jumpstart System
Jumpstart systems, in general, are designed to provide emergency battery
power to jumpstart a vehicle with a low battery. They are not designed to
provide long-term battery backup nor are they designed to operate high amper-
age equipment or components for extended periods of time.
Depending on your vehicle's condition and power requirements, any jumpstart
may or may not provide adequate voltage to successfully start your vehicle.
Just as your vehicle's battery provides a certain amount of reserve capacity, a
jumpstart system has similar limitations. lt is possible that a jumpstart's
internal battery may be depleted before you can start your engine. The ambient
temperature can affect the performance of the jumpstart system. A battery at
zero degrees has less reserve capacity than a battery at sixty degrees. This
condition applies to both a jumpstart system and your vehicle's battery.
ln the event that your vehicle fails to start after repeated attempts, additional
servicing or tune up may be required. Consult your dealership or local servicing
professional for advice.
