• Do not operate unit with damaged cord or plug; or if the unit has received a sharp blow, been
dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way. Do not disassemble the unit; take it to a qualified
service technician when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of
electric shock or fire, and will void warranty.
• Use of an attachment not supplied, recommended or sold by manufacturer specifically for use with
this unit may result in a risk of electrical shock and injury to persons.
• NEVER submerge this unit in water; do not expose it to rain, snow or use when wet.
• To reduce risk of electric shock, disconnect the unit from any power source before attempting
maintenance or cleaning. Turning off controls without disconnecting will not reduce this risk.
• Do not insert foreign objects into the USB outlet.
WARNING: RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES
• Working in the vicinity of a lead acid battery is dangerous. Batteries generate explosive gases during
normal battery operation. For this reason, it is of the utmost importance that each time before using
the jump-starter you read this manual and follow instructions exactly.
• To reduce the risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by the battery
manufacturer and manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in the vicinity of the battery.
Review cautionary markings on these products and on the engine.
• This equipment employs parts (switches, relays, etc.) that produce arcs or sparks. Therefore, if used
in a garage or enclosed area, the unit MUST be placed not less than 18 inches above the floor.
• THIS UNIT IS NOT FOR USE BY CHILDREN AND SHOULD ONLY BE OPERATED BY ADULTS.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE:
• Pull cord by plug rather than cord when disconnecting the 120V AC Charging Adapter from the unit.
• NEVER ATTEMPT TO JUMP-START OR CHARGE A FROZEN BATTERY.
• To recharge this unit, use only the supplied AC Charging Adapter.
• Vehicles that have on-board computerized systems may be damaged if vehicle battery is jump-
started. Before jump-starting, read the vehicle's owner's manual to confirm that external-starting
assistance is suitable.
• When working with lead acid batteries, always make sure immediate assistance is available in case
of accident or emergency.
• Always have protective eyewear when using this product: contact with battery acid may cause
blindness and/or severe burns. Be aware of first aid procedures in case of accidental contact with
battery acid.
• Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin.
• If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water for at least 10
minutes and get medical attention immediately.
• Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of vehicle battery, engine or power station.
• Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches when working with a
lead acid battery. A lead acid battery can produce a short circuit current high enough to weld a ring,
or similar metal object, to skin, causing a severe burn.
• Do not wear vinyl clothing when jump-starting a vehicle when jump-starting a vehicle, friction can
cause dangerous static-electrical sparks.
• Jump-start procedures should only be performed in a safe, dry, well-ventilated area.
• Always store battery clamps when not in use. Never touch battery clamps together. This can cause
dangerous sparks, power arcing and/or explosion.
• When using this unit close to the vehicle's battery and engine, stand the unit on a flat, stable surface,
and be sure to keep all clamps, cords, clothing and body parts away from moving vehicle parts.
• Never allow red and black clamps to touch each other or another common metal conductor — this
could cause damage to the unit and/or create a sparking/explosion hazard.
a) For negative-grounded systems, connect the pOSITIVE (RED) clamp to the pOSITIVE
ungrounded battery post and 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. Refer to the automobile
owner's manual.
b) For positive-grounded systems, connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) clamp to the NEGATIVE
ungrounded battery post and 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. Refer to the automobile
owner's manual.

• If the connections to the battery's pOSITIVE and NEGATIVE terminals are incorrect, the Reverse
polarity Indicator will light (red) and the unit will sound a continuous alarm until the clamps are
disconnected. Disconnect clamps and reconnect to battery with correct polarity.
• Always disconnect the negative (Black) jumper cable first, followed by the positive (Red) jumper
cable, except for positive grounded systems.
• Do not expose battery to fire or intense heat since it may explode. Before disposing of the battery,
protect exposed terminals with heavy-duty electrical tape to prevent shorting (shorting can result in
injury or fire).
• Place this unit as far away from the battery as cables permit.
• Never allow battery acid to come in contact with this unit.
• Do not operate this unit in a closed area or restrict ventilation in any way.
• FIRST AID – SKIN: If battery acid comes in contact with skin, rinse immediately with water, then
wash thoroughly with soap and water. If redness, pain, or irritation occurs, seek immediate medical
attention.
EYES: If battery acid comes in contact with eyes, flush eyes immediately, for a minimum of 15
minutes and seek immediate medical attention.
• IMPORTANT: This unit is delivered in a partially charged state. Fully charge unit with a household
extension cord (not supplied) for a full 24 hours before using for the first time. You cannot
overcharge the unit using the AC charging method.
• All ON/OFF switches should be in the OFF position when the unit is charging or not in use. Make
sure all switches are in the OFF position before connection to a power source or load.
• This system is designed to be used only on vehicles with a 12 volt DC battery system. Do not
connect to a 6 volt or 24 volt battery system.
• This system is not designed to be used as a replacement for a vehicular battery. Do not attempt to
operate a vehicle that does not have a battery installed.
• Excessive engine cranking can damage a vehicle's starter motor. If the engine fails to start after the
recommended number of attempts, discontinue jump-start procedures and look for other problems
that may need to be corrected.
• Do not use this jump-starter on a watercraft. It is not qualified for marine applications.
• Although this unit contains a non-spillable battery, it is recommended that unit be kept upright
during storage, use and recharging. To avoid possible damage that may shorten the unit's working
life, protect it from direct sunlight, direct heat and/or moisture.
