HOW IT WORKS?
This device must be charged before each use and in most cases can be charged up from your
vehicles existing at battery as it contains a built in converter circuit which allows the device to be
charged up from a at battery providing it’s at least 3 Volts. If your vehicles at battery is below 3V
then you’ll need to use another vehicles battery / power source or use the USB input to charge up
the device.
STEP 1 - CHARGING THE DEVICE
12 Volt Battery in a vehicle - Connect the Red clamp to the Positive (+) battery terminal and the
Black Negative (-) clamp to the vehicles chassis if it’s a negatively earthed vehicle.
Refer to diagrams below. Note: If the battery is not located under the bonnet, connect the device
to the vehicles Positive (+) and Negative (-) jump starter connection points. Refer to vehicles hand-
book for connection details.
DC Input / Cigarette lighter charge lead - Connect the supplied cigarette lighter charge lead to
the devices DC input then connect the cigarette lighter plug to a 12V outlet.
USB - Connect the supplied Micro USB cable to the USB input on the device, then connect it to a
USB power source.
The device will automatically start charging as soon as an input is connected, the units LCD will illu-
minate and it will display the device voltage and the charging blue LED will be on. Once the device
is fully charged, the LCD will display Ready to Use and the Green Full / Ready LED will ash.
STEP 2 - STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
a) Connect the Red Clamp to the Positive (+) battery terminal and the Black Negative (-) clamp to
the vehicles chassis if it’s a negatively earthed vehicle. (If you’ve charged this device o your vehi-
cles at battery, leave the Clamps connected)
b) Now press the RUN button. A timer will count down from 10, 9 ... ... 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, RUN. During this
countdown you should position yourself so that you are accessible to the vehicle’s ignition. Once
the countdown concludes and“RUN”is displayed on-screen the buzzer will sound. Once hearing
the buzzer you should crank the vehicle immediately. If you would like to extend the countdown
time, press and hold the RUN button until the time displayed reaches the delay time required. The
delay time can be set for a maximum of 120 seconds. As soon as the countdown has nished and
RUN mode is enabled you must start your vehicle immediately. WARNING: Only press the RUN
button once both clamps are connected to your battery. (Please ensure your radio, heater, air con-
ditioner, headlights are switched o before starting). Once the vehicle has started the device will
automatically disable RUN mode and start recharging the device. NEVER DISCONNECT THE DEVICE
WHILE IN RUN MODE AS ALL SAFETY PROTECTION IS DISABLED.
When safe to do so, (Blue Charging LED Flashing or Green Ready to Use LED ashing) disconnect
the Black then Red Clamps from your battery.
If your vehicle fails to start, please disconnect the device, wait 5 minutes and repeat Steps 1 and 2.

ensure all accessories such as heater,
air conditioner, radio, headlights are
turned o. Press the RUN button and
try and start your vehicle again.
- Ensure the clamps have a solid
connection and try starting the
vehicle again.

at battery?
Charging light
is ON then
turns o while
charging.
- Vehicle battery has
no capacity and has
dropped below 3V
while charging the
device.
- Charge the device from another
vehicles battery or use the USB input
or DC input and charge the device
from another power source.
F.A.Q.:
How long will the device hold charge for?
As the device doesn’t contain any batteries and uses Super Capacitors to hold charge, the
capacitors will slowly discharge over time. Once fully charged, the device can hold charge up to a
few days before it requires charging. For best performance, please ensure the unit is fully charged
to 13.8V before using.
How many times can a fully charged unit start my vehicle?
This device is designed for a single start only. To start a vehicle, it will drain nearly all power stored
in the device so it will need to be recharged before attempting to start another vehicle.
What if my vehicle doesn’t start after several attempts?
In some cases your vehicles battery might be too damaged to jump start (internal short
or severely sulphated). In this case you may bypass the vehicles battery if safe to do so by
disconnecting the vehicles negative battery terminal lead and then connect the device if Ready
To Use by connecting the Red Positive (+) Clamp rst directly to the Positive battery post/
terminal and then the Black Negative (-) Clamp directly to the Negative wire/terminal which was
disconnected from the battery. IMPORTANT NOTE: When bypassing the battery, there will
be no Safety Protection when you press the RUN button. So it’s critical all connections are
correct otherwise you risk damaging both the unit and your vehicle. Note: Please consult
your vehicles handbook before disconnecting the battery.
