8. Recharge the jump starter as soon as possible.

WARNING! Do not crank for more than 5 seconds. Allow 30 seconds between attempts to cool the unit. If vehicle does not start after 3 attempts, seek professional help.

Using Power Ports

The unit can power USB devices and 12V accessories.

1. USB Devices: Plug your device's USB cable into either USB port. The unit must be turned ON. The display will show the internal battery level while in use.
2. 12V Accessories: Plug the accessory (e.g., air compressor, spotlight) into the 12V DC outlet. Ensure the accessory's power draw does not exceed 10A (120W). Turn the unit ON.

Tip: Using high-power accessories will drain the internal battery quickly. Monitor the display.

Maintenance & Storage

1. Cleaning: Wipe exterior with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use liquids or solvents.
2. Clamp Care: Keep teeth clean for good contact. Inspect insulation for cracks.
3. Battery Maintenance: Recharge fully every 3-6 months if not in use. Store at 50% charge if long-term storage is planned.
