Jump-Starting Procedure

Follow steps carefully. Ensure vehicle and jump starter are off initially.

Turn off vehicle ignition and all electronics.
Connect red clamp to positive (+) terminal of dead battery.
Connect black clamp to clean, unpainted metal part of engine block (ground).
Turn on jump starter (press power button).
Wait 3-5 seconds, then start vehicle (crank for up to 3 seconds).
Once vehicle starts, turn off jump starter.
Remove clamps in reverse order: black first, then red.
Recharge jump starter after use.

Tip: If vehicle doesn't start within 3 attempts, wait 2 minutes before retrying. Check connections.

Using as Power Bank

For USB devices: Connect USB cable to port; device charges automatically.
For 12V devices: Plug device into 12V DC socket (e.g., air compressor, cooler).
Monitor battery level on display; unit shuts down if voltage too low.
Recharge when battery drops below 20%.

WARNING! Do not exceed rated output (10A for 12V, 2.4A for USB). Unplug devices when not in use.

Maintenance & Storage

Recharge every 3 months if not used. Store in cool, dry place.

Cleaning: Use dry cloth; do not use liquids. Terminal Care: Keep clamps clean; wipe with dry cloth if corroded.
