  4. Power On: Press and hold the unit's POWER button for 3 seconds. The indicator light near the clamps should turn GREEN.
  5. Start Vehicle: Get into the vehicle and start the engine. Crank for no more than 3 seconds. Wait 30 seconds between attempts if needed.
  6. Disconnect: Once vehicle starts, press the unit's POWER button to turn it OFF. Remove the BLACK clamp first, then the RED clamp.
  7. Recharge: Recharge the jump starter as soon as possible after use.

WARNING! DO NOT connect the black clamp to the negative terminal of the dead battery. This can cause sparking and potential explosion.

Using as a Power Bank

The unit can charge smartphones, tablets, and other USB devices.

  1. Ensure the unit has sufficient charge (check battery indicator).
  2. Use a standard USB cable (not included for all devices) to connect your device to either the 2.1A (faster) or 1A USB port on the unit.
