4. For a negative-grounded vehicle, connect the POSITIVE (RED) clamp
from the jump starter to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +) ungrounded post
of the battery. Connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) clamp to the vehicle
chassis or engine block away from the battery. Do not connect the
clamp to the carburetor, fuel lines or sheet-metal body parts. Connect
to a heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine block.
5. For a positive-grounded vehicle, connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK)
clamp from the jump starter to the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) ungrounded
post of the battery. Connect the POSITIVE (RED) clamp to the vehicle
chassis or engine block away from the battery. Do not connect the
clamp to the carburetor, fuel lines or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to
a heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine block.
6. The smart cable will detect the voltage of the vehicle and jump starter,
and will make a clicking sound (SL1399U does not click). The green
LED on the smart cable should flash.
7. Turn the key to the ACC position.
8. When the green LED is solid, the unit is ready to jump start the vehicle.
NOTE: If the vehicle battery is extremely discharged, the initial current
draw from the jump starter may activate short circuit protection in the
smart cable. Disconnect and reconnect the smart cable to reset.
9. After a proper connection has been made, crank the engine. If the engine
does not start within 5-8 seconds, stop cranking and wait at least 2
minutes before attempting to start the vehicle again.
NOTE: If the car does not crank a second time, check the smart cable to
see if the green LED is lit. If an LED is flashing, refer to the information on
the back of the smart cable.
NOTE: Cold weather may affect the performance of the jump starter's
lithium battery. If you hear only a click and the engine does not turn
over, try the following:
With the jump starter connected to the car battery and the green
LED illuminated on the smart cable, turn on all lights and electrical
accessories for one minute. This draws current from the jump starter
and warms the battery. Now try to crank the engine. If it does not turn
over, repeat the procedure. Extremely cold weather may require two or
three battery warmings before the engine will start.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT attempt to jump start your vehicle more
than three consecutive times. If the vehicle will not start after three
attempts, consult a service technician.
10. After the engine starts, disconnect the black clamp (-) and the red
clamp (+), in that order, and then unplug the battery clamp cable from
the jump starter socket.
11. Recharge the unit as soon as possible after each use.
