Digital Display: Shows battery percentage (0-100%). Error Codes: E1 (reverse polarity detected), E2 (over-current), E3 (over-temperature), E4 (low internal battery).

LED Indicators: Green light (USB/DC active). Red flashing light (error or low battery).

Jump Starting a Vehicle

Ensure jump starter is charged above 50%.

  1. Turn off the vehicle's ignition and all electronics (lights, radio).
  2. Press the POWER button on the jump starter to turn it on.
  3. Connect RED clamp to the positive (+) terminal of the dead battery.
  4. Connect BLACK clamp to a clean, unpainted metal part of the engine block or chassis (ground), NOT to the negative (-) terminal of the dead battery.
  5. Ensure connections are secure. The unit will perform a self-check; if polarity is correct, a green light will illuminate on the clamp.
  6. Start the vehicle. It should start within 3-5 seconds. If it doesn't, wait 30 seconds and try again.
