4. Start the Jump Starter: Press the unit's POWER button. The battery indicator should light up.
5. Start the Vehicle: Get into the vehicle and start the engine. Crank for no more than 5 seconds. If it doesn't start, wait 3 minutes before trying again.
6. Disconnect: Once the vehicle is running:
   • Turn off the jump starter.
   • Remove the BLACK clamp from the ground point on the vehicle.
   • Remove the RED clamp from the battery's positive terminal.
7. Recharge: Recharge the jump starter as soon as possible after use.

WARNING! Do not crank the vehicle for more than 5 seconds at a time to prevent overheating the jump starter.
