WARNING
Please read this manual thoroughly before use and store in a safe place for future reference.
• This jump starter has been designed for vehicles with 12V DC and 24V DC electrical systems only.
• This jump starter contains batteries that are non-replaceable – during charging, the battery must be
placed in a well-ventilated area (for chargers for batteries that release gases into the atmosphere
during normal charging).
• Risk of explosive gas. Working in the vicinity of car batteries can be dangerous. Batteries release
explosive gases during normal operation, charging and jump starting. Before using this jump starter,
read and follow the instructions carefully. Follow all manufacturer’s instructions and warnings of the
vehicle’s battery and other equipment being used.
• Jump start 12V DC or 24V DC automotive lead acid batteries ONLY. Do not use to jump start dry cell
batteries commonly found in household appliances. These batteries may burst and cause serious injury
and/or property damage.
• Do not smoke, use matches, use a cigarette lighter, or allow a spark or ame near the battery.
• Do not allow metal to come in contact with the battery terminals. It may spark or short-circuit the
battery and cause an explosion/re.
• Remove rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working at the vehicle and/or jump starting a
vehicle.
• The jump starter contains a sealed non-spillable Lithium Iron Phosphate battery (LiFePO4). This must be
disposed of properly.
• Ensure correct polarity when connecting clamps to vehicle.
• The jump starter is not designed to be left outside for extended periods of time or submerged in water.
• Do not store the jump starter in temperatures above 45˚C or below -10˚C as this can affect the health
of the internal battery.
• Always wear eye protection when operating the jump starter.
• Although the jump starter has been designed to protect the battery, do not drop the jump starter or
attempt to pierce it in anyway. This can result in an explosion and or re.
• If the jump starter is physically damaged in any way, it should not be used.
• Not to be used by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction – children
being supervised not to play with the appliance – only to be used with the power supply unit provided
and it must only be supplied at SELV (safety extra low voltage, less than 60V DC).
• Do not allow the positive (red) clamp and the negative (black) clamp to touch each other when in
override mode, or 12/24V DC mode.
• When in manual override, pay careful attention not to reverse-connect clamp or short-circuit.
• Make sure to have strong clamp connection to starting battery to maximise jump starting current.
• The EMF (electromagnetic eld) during jump starting might interfere with medical devices. For
example, implanted pacemakers and debrillators might contain sensors that respond to magnets and
radios when in close contact. To avoid any potential interactions with these types of medical devices,
please keep a safe distance away from the jump starter. Consult with a physician and the medical
device manufacturer for specic guidelines.
• The clamps may get hot during jump starting, it is recommended to wear gloves to prevent burns.

KEY FEATURES
RAPID RECHARGE TECHNOLOGY (RRT)
• The Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery can rapidly recover charge from the vehicle’s alternator
following a successful jump start. Leaving the clamps connected to the vehicle’s battery for 40 seconds
will recharge the jump starter to 100% of the original charge status. Once the jump starter is fully
charged, the RRT will shut off to avoid overcharging.
LITHIUM SAFE
• Intelli-Start Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries are specically designed for cranking therefore
purpose built for jump starting and are safer than Lithium Cobalt (LiCoO2) battery types. The LiFePO4
batteries provide more starts and have an operational life of up to 2000 battery cycles.
JUMP STARTING PERFORMANCE
• The IS3000 is suitable for starting most 12V DC vehicles up to 12 litre petrol and diesel as well as all
24V petrol and diesel vehicles.
• The IS5000 is suitable for starting most 12V DC vehicles up to 16 litre petrol and diesel as well as all
24V petrol and diesel vehicles.
• With 40 seconds of rapid recharge after each jump start, the jump starter will not need to be recharged
during the working day.
• It is recommended that the jump starter is charged via the supplied 240V AC/DC charging dock
ISCD3500 and 15VDC 3A AC charging adapter ISCA3500 to maximise the jump starter performance.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q. Why does my jump starter take so long to charge on the dock?
A. Lower charging rate extends the battery life. The built-in charging circuit provides gentle charge with cell-
balancing for the internal Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery.
Q. Can the jump starter jump start vehicles at temperature lower than 0°C?
A. If the jump starter operates at temperatures below 0°C, its jump start rated performance will be reduced
but it will start vehicles with lower clamp output requirements.
Q. Why didn’t my jump starter start my vehicle?
A. There could be a number of reasons why the jump starter did not start the vehicle.
Check the following:
