JUMPSTARTER
JUMPSTART WARNINGS
Failure to follow these instructions may cause damage or explosion�
NOTE: Cranking an engine produces an accumulation of explosive gas above and near the vehicle
battery. Before any attempt to jumpstart a vehicle battery, make sure explosive gas is dispelled
from the area. Use a cardboard or newspaper fan to wave the gases away from the battery for a
few minutes. Do not use plastic or metal sheet—they can produce sparks and ignite the gas.
• Jumpstart cables connected to iOnBoost are ALWAYS live! Never allow the clamps to touch
together or contact the same piece of metal.
• Do not attempt to jumpstart your vehicle when iOnBoost is below 20% charge (observe
battery status indicator lights on the unit).
• Only use this jumpstarter with 12 Volt negative – grounded systems. Most US vehicles have
negative (-) battery terminals connected to the vehicle frame. (Negative – Ground). Check
the negative battery terminal connecting wire to make sure it also connects to the frame.
• Make sure the jumpstarter clamps get connected to correct polarity (red to positive battery
terminal, black to vehicle frame for negative ground systems when jumpstarting).
• Use safety glasses to protect eyes while jumpstarting a battery.
• If the engine fails to start after two 3-second cranking attempts, discontinue jumpstart
procedure. Excessive engine cranking can damage the vehicle’s starter motor. Look for other
problems that may need to be corrected or call for professional service.
• Disconnecting cable clamps is always done in reverse order from connection sequence (see
Jumpstart Procedure below).
• Vehicles equipped with on-board computers may be affected if the engine battery is
jumpstarted. Read your vehicle owner’s manual before attempting to start the vehicle to
determine if external starting assistance can be used.
• If the iOnBoost is overloaded while in the jumpstart mode, quickly disconnect the negative
then positive clamps. All functions on the iOnBoost will not operate if the unit was
overloaded. To recover from overload, let the unit rest for 10 minutes then plug it into a
power source for a few minutes to reset the unit. All functions on the iOnBoost will not
operate until this is done.

ORDER OF DISCONNECTION
2. Disconnect positive
(red) clamp from positive
battery terminal.
1. Disconnect negative
(black) clamp
from frame.
3. Disconnect cables from
iOnBoost.
Read the remainder of the instructions before using the iOnBoost!
Jumpstart Procedure
1. Turn off the vehicle ignition and all accessories (radios, lights, air conditioners), and
disconnect electronic devices.
2. Set the emergency brake and put vehicles with automatic transmission in park position.
3. Determine the polarity of the vehicle’s battery terminals. The positive (POS, P, +) battery
terminal usually is red and larger in diameter than the negative (NEG, N, −) terminal. If you
are unsure, first refer to the vehicle owner’s manual. Make sure the negative battery terminal
is also connected to the vehicle frame.
4. If engine was recently cranked, use a non conductive material (cardboard or a folded
newspaper) to wave away (dispel) explosive gases. Do this for a few minutes before any
vehicle connections.
5. Insert the blue plug of the jumper cables into the iOnBoost’s jumper terminal. When fully
inserted, the red and green lights on the cable safety block should both flash continuously.
Never allow clamps (positive & negative terminals) to touch together or contact the same
piece of metal to prevent short-circuits and arcing�
6. Securely connect the positive (+) red clamp to the positive (POS, P, +) terminal of the vehicle
battery or the remote positive (+) terminal if equipped.
7. Securely connect the negative (−) black clamp to a non-moving, metal part of the engine or
frame as far away from the vehicle battery as possible.
8. When the clamps are properly connected to the battery, the cable indicator light on the
cable safety block will illuminate steady red (a three-second delay is normal). When the
cable indicator light illuminates steady red, it is safe to proceed in these instructions.
If it fails to illuminate steady red, check connection for any shorts, reverse connection
or poor contact to the terminals. If the cable indicator light still fails to illuminate steady
red, press the manual activation button on the cable safety block. If pressing the manual
activation button fails to produce a steady red light, consult the troubleshooting section of
this manual.
9. Place unit on a secure surface away from moving parts.

10.Start vehicle engine. Stop if the vehicle does not start after 3 to 4 seconds of engine
cranking. Wait 3 to 4 minutes, then try again. If engine does not start after second attempt,
discontinue cranking and consult a professional.
11. When finished, disconnect the clamps in reverse sequence of connecting procedure—
first disconnect negative (black), then positive (red) clamps. Do not let the clamps touch
each other.
12. Disconnect the jumper cable assembly from the unit.
13. When convenient, using either AC or DC charging adapter, completely charge the
iOnBoost battery.
14.Store the unit and charge adapters in a cool, dry environment, away from flammable
materials. Remember to fully charge the unit every three months.
