Battery Charge Status LED Indicators
A series of four LED indicators (three red and one green) display the level of charge
in the battery. The left red LED indicates minimum battery charge. Charge the
battery when only a single red LED is lit. The center red LEDs indicate moderate
battery charge level. When the green LED is lit, the battery is at full charge. The
Charge Status LEDs will light when the Battery Status Check Pushbutton is pressed,
or automatically during AC charging. During DC recharging, the Battery Status
Check Pushbutton can be pressed periodically to monitor recharging progress.
12 Volt DC Accessory Outlet
This accessory outlet, covered by a rubber cap, powers and recharges appliances
that are 12 volt DC compatible. The 12 Volt DC Accessory Outlet is also used for DC
recharging from a vehicle or other 12 volt source.
120 Volt AC Recharging Port
The AC Recharging Port is also covered by a rubber cap. The 120 Volt AC Charging
Adapter's barrel connector plugs into this port during recharge.
Emergency LED Area Light
Located on the center of the control panel, the Emergency LED Area Light provides
proper lighting while changing a tire or connecting the unit to a battery.
Applications
• Jump-start most engines with standard 12 volt DC battery systems, such as small
trucks, cars, RVs, tractors, etc.
• Using the 12 volt accessory outlet, operate such appliances as 12 volt DC fans,
fluorescent worklights, spotlights, TVs, portable radios or CD players; and quick-
charge a cell phone using the phone's 12 volt DC adapter cord.
• Illuminate areas under the hood, inside tents and work areas.
• Inflate tires, air mattresses, basketballs, volleyballs, and more.

USING THE EMERGENCY LED AREA LIGHT
The area light is controlled by the Area Light Power Switch (see the diagram above).
Make sure the lamp is turned OFF when the unit is being recharged or stored.
USING THE JUMP-STARTER
This Jump-Starter is equipped with a keyless Power Switch that only allows energy
to flow when proper connections are made to battery and frame. Once the
connections are properly made, turn the switch ON to jump-start the vehicle.
1. Turn OFF vehicle ignition and all accessories (radio, A/C, lights, connected cell
phone chargers, etc.). Place vehicle in "park" and set the emergency brake.
2. Make sure the Jump-Starter Power Switch is turned to OFF.
3. Remove jumper clamps from clamp tabs. Connect the red clamp first, then
the black clamp.
4. Procedure for jump-starting a NEGATIVE GROUNDED SYSTEM (negative
battery terminal is connected to chassis) (MOST COMMON)
POSITIVE (+)
RED CLAMP
4a. Connect POSITIVE (+) RED clamp to vehicle battery's POSITIVE terminal.
CONNECTOR
4b. Connect NEGATIVE (–) BLACK clamp to chassis or a solid, non-moving,
(CHUCK)
metal vehicle component or body part. NEVER CLAMP DIRECTLY TO
NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL OR MOVING PART.
5. Procedure for jump-starting POSITIVE GROUNDED SYSTEMS
Note: I
n the rare event that the vehicle to be started has a POSITIVE GROUND
SYSTEM (positive battery terminal is connected to chassis), replace steps 4a
and 4b above with steps 5a and 5b, then proceed to step 6.
5a. Connect NEGATIVE (–) BLACK clamp to vehicle battery's NEGATIVE terminal.
5b. Connect POSITIVE (+) RED CLAMP to vehicle chassis or a solid, non-
moving, metal vehicle component or body part. NEVER CLAMP DIRECTLY
TO POSITIVE BATTERY TERMINAL OR MOVING PART.
6. When clamps are connected properly, turn the Jump-Starter Power Switch to ON.
7. Turn ON the ignition and crank the engine in 5-6 second bursts until engine starts.
8. Turn the Jump-Starter Power Switch back to the OFF position.
9. Disconnect the NEGATIVE (–) engine or chassis clamp first, then disconnect the
POSITIVE (+) battery clamp.
FOLLOW ALL DIRECTIONS FOUND IN THE IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS SECTION AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS USER'S MANUAL.
WARNINGS
• Jump-Starter Power Switch should be OFF prior to jump-starting.
• This power system is to be used ONLY on vehicles or boats with
12 volt DC battery systems.
• Never touch RED and BLACK clamps together — this can cause
dangerous sparks, power arcing, and/or explosion.
• Vehicles that have on-board computerized systems may be
damaged if vehicle battery is jump-started. Before jump-starting this
type of vehicle, read the vehicle manual to confirm that external-
starting assistance is advised.
• Excessive engine cranking can damage the vehicle's starter motor. If
the engine fails to start after the recommended number of attempts,
