Features at a Glance

Key components: Jump Starter Unit, Smart Clamps (Red Positive, Black Negative), AC Wall Charger, DC Car Charger, Air Compressor Hose with Nozzles, USB Cable.

Safety Precautions

Read all instructions before use. Failure to follow may cause injury or damage.

1. Wear Safety Gear: Use safety glasses and gloves.
2. Check Vehicle Battery: Ensure it is a 12V lead-acid battery. Do not use on 24V systems or dry-cell batteries.
3. Inspect Cables & Clamps: Do not use if damaged.
4. Avoid Sparks & Flames: Batteries produce explosive gases.
5. Connect Correctly: RED to POSITIVE (+), BLACK to NEGATIVE (-) or unpainted metal ground. Reverse connection can damage unit and vehicle.
6. Keep Away from Children: Store in a dry, cool place.

WARNING! Never attempt to jump-start a frozen battery. Do not touch clamps together when unit is on.

First-Time Setup & Charging

Fully charge the jump starter before first use.

1. Initial Charge: Connect the included AC wall charger to the unit's input port and a wall outlet. Charge until battery indicator shows full (typically 8-12 hours).
2. Maintenance Charging: Recharge every 3 months if not used to maintain battery health.
3. Using DC Car Charger: Plug into vehicle's 12V accessory socket (cigarette lighter) while driving to recharge.
4. Charge Indicator: LED lights show charging status (red=charging, green=full).

CAUTION! Use only the provided chargers. Do not charge near heat sources or flammable materials.

Jump-Starting a Vehicle

Follow these steps carefully.

1. Prepare: Turn off the jump starter and the vehicle's ignition. Engage parking brake.
2. Connect Clamps:
   • RED clamp to vehicle battery's POSITIVE (+) terminal.
   • BLACK clamp to a solid, unpainted metal part of the engine block or chassis (ground), away from battery and fuel lines.
3. Power On: Turn on the jump starter (Power Button). The battery indicator should light up. If you hear a continuous beep, check connections (reverse polarity).
4. Start Vehicle: Attempt to start the vehicle. Crank for no more than 3-5 seconds. Wait 30 seconds between attempts.
5. Disconnect: Once vehicle starts, turn off jump starter. Remove BLACK clamp first, then RED clamp.
6. Recharge: Recharge jump starter as soon as possible after use.

WARNING! Do not crank for more than 5 seconds continuously. Allow unit to cool for 2-3 minutes between attempts.

Using the Air Compressor

For inflating tires, air mattresses, sports balls, etc.

1. Check Pressure: Know the required PSI for your item.
2. Connect Hose: Attach compressor hose to the unit's socket. Attach appropriate nozzle to hose.
3. Attach to Valve: Securely connect nozzle to item's air valve.
4. Power On: Press the compressor button. The compressor will run and automatically shut off when the pre-set pressure (if adjustable) is reached, or you can monitor and stop manually.
5. Disconnect: Turn off compressor. Disconnect nozzle from valve, then hose from unit.

Tip: Do not run compressor continuously for more than 10 minutes. Allow to cool between uses.

USB Charging & LED Light

USB Charging: Connect your device's USB cable to the unit's USB port. The unit must be turned ON (Power Button). The battery indicator will show remaining charge.

LED Work Light: Press the Light Button to cycle modes. Useful for roadside emergencies, camping, or power outages.

Note: Using USB or light will drain the battery. Ensure sufficient charge for jump-starting.

Care & Storage

Unplug all cables before cleaning. Wipe exterior with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use liquids or solvents.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Recharge fully before long-term storage, and recharge every 3 months.

CAUTION! Do not disassemble the unit. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
