JuMP-starter
This Jump-Starter is equipped with an On/Off Power Switch. Once the connections are properly made, turn the switch on to jump-
start the vehicle.
1. Turn off vehicle ignition and all accessories (radio, A/C, lights, connected cell phone chargers, etc.). Place vehicle in "park" and
set the emergency brake.
2. Make sure the Jump-Starter Power Switch is turned to off.
3. Remove jumper clamps from clamp tabs. Connect the red clamp first, then the black clamp.
4. Procedure for jump-starting a NEGATIVE GROUNDED SYSTEM (negative battery terminal is connected to chassis)
(MOST COMMON)
4a. Connect positive (+) red clamp to vehicle battery' s positive terminal.
4b. Connect negative (–) black clamp to chassis or a solid, non-moving, metal vehicle component or body part. Never clamp
directly to negative battery terminal or moving part. Refer to the automobile owner' s manual.
5. Procedure for jump-starting POSITIVE GROUND SYSTEMS
Note:
In the rare event that the vehicle to be started has a Positive Grounded System (positive battery terminal is connected to chassis), replace steps 4a
and 4b above with steps 5a and 5b, then proceed to step 6.
5a. Connect negative (–) black clamp to vehicle battery' s negative terminal.
5b. Connect positive (+) red clamp to vehicle chassis or a solid, non-moving, metal vehicle component or body part. Never
clamp directly to Positive battery terminal or moving part. Refer to the automobile owner' s manual.
6. When clamps are connected properly, turn the Jump-Starter Power Switch to ON.
7. Turn ON the ignition and crank the engine in 5-6 second bursts until engine starts.
8. Turn the Jump-Starter Power Switch back to the OFF position.
9. Disconnect the negative (–) engine or chassis clamp first, then disconnect the positive (+) battery clamp.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE:
• FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOUND IN THE "SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR JUMP STARTERS"
SECTION OF THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL.
• This power system is to be used ONLY on vehicles with 12-volt DC battery systems.
• Never touch red and black clamps together — this can cause dangerous sparks, power arcing, and/or explosion.
• Always turn the unit off when not in use.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE:
• Vehicles that have on-board computerized systems may be damaged if vehicle battery is jump-started. Before jump-starting this
type of vehicle, read the vehicle manual to confirm that external-starting assistance is advised.
• Excessive engine cranking can damage the vehicle's starter motor. If the engine fails to start after the recommended number of
attempts, discontinue jump-start procedure and look for other problems that need to be corrected.
• If the connections to the battery' s positive and negative terminals are incorrect, the reverse polarity indicator will light and the
unit will sound a continuous alarm until the clamps are disconnected. Disconnect clamps and reconnect to battery with correct
polarity.
• If vehicle fails to start, turn off the ignition, turn off the jump-starter power switch, disconnect the jump-start system' s leads and
contact a qualified technician to investigate why the engine did not start.
• Recharge this unit fully after each use.

rated versus actual Current Draw of equipment
Most electrical tools, appliances, electronic devices and audio/visual equipment have labels that indicate the power consumption
in amps or watts. Be sure that the power consumption of the item to be operated is below 500 watts. If the power consumption is
rated in amps AC, simply multiply by the AC volts (120) to determine the wattage.
Resistive loads are the easiest for this unit to run; however, it will not run larger resistive loads (such as electric stoves and heaters),
which require far more wattage than the unit can deliver on a continuous basis. Inductive loads (such as TVs and stereos) require
more current to operate than do resistive loads of the same wattage rating.
CAUTION: RECHARGEABLE DEVICES
• Certain rechargeable devices are designed to be charged by plugging them directly into an AC receptacle. These devices may
damage the converter or the charging circuit.
• When using a rechargeable device, monitor its temperature for the initial ten minutes of use to determine if it produces excessive
heat.
• If excessive heat is produced, this indicates the device should not be used with this converter.
• This problem does not occur with most of the battery-operated equipment. Most of these devices use a separate charger or
transformer that is plugged into an AC receptacle.
• The converter is capable of running most chargers and transformers.

Power Converter Output waveform
The AC output waveform of this converter is known as a modified sine wave. It is a stepped waveform that has characteristics
similar to the sine wave shape of utility power. This type of waveform is suitable for most AC loads, including linear and switching
power supplies used in electronic equipment, transformers, and small motors.
using the Dual 120 volt aC Outlets
The two 120 volt AC outlets each are located under a protective cover on the left hand side of the front panel (refer to the Features
section to locate). The two outlets support a combined maximum power draw of 500 watts.
1. Press the inverter power switch to turn the inverter on (I). The inverter power indicator will light red to indicate the two 120
volt AC outlets are ready to use.
2. Lift up the cover of the120 volt AC outlet.
3. Insert the 120 volt AC plug from the appliance into the 120 volt AC outlet.
4. Switch on the appliance and operate as usual.
5. Periodically check the unit' s battery status by pressing the battery power level button. (Two red and one green battery
status indicator lights indicate a full battery. Only one red battery status indicator lights indicates that the unit needs to be
recharged.)
PrOteCtive Features
The inverter monitors the following conditions:
Low internal battery voltage: The inverter will automatically shut down when the battery voltage drops too low, as this can
harm the battery.
High internal battery voltage: The inverter will automatically shut down when the battery voltage is too high, as this can harm
the unit.
Thermal shutdown protection: The inverter will automatically shut down when the unit becomes overheated.
Overload/short circuit protection: The inverter will automatically shut down when an overload or short circuit occurs.
IMPORTANT NOTES: The inverter power indicator will flash red to indicate that one of the above fault conditions is present before
automatic shutdown occurs. Should this occur, take the following steps:
1. Disconnect all appliances from the unit.
2. Press the inverter power switch to turn the inverter off (O).
3. Allow the unit to cool down for several minutes.
4. Make sure the combined rating for all appliances plugged into the unit is 500 watts or lower and that appliance cord(s) and
plug(s) are not damaged.
5. Assure there is adequate ventilation around the unit before proceeding.
12 vOLt DC POrtaBLe POwer suPPLy
The 12 volt DC accessory outlet is located under a protective cover on the right hand side of the front panel (refer to the Features
section to locate). This portable power source is for use with all 12 volt DC accessories equipped with a male accessory outlet plug
that are rated up
to 5 amps.
1. Lift up the cover of the unit 's 12 volt DC outlet.
2. Insert the 12 volt DC plug from the appliance into the 12 volt accessory outlet on the unit. DO NOT ExCEED A 5 AMP LOAD.
3. Switch on the appliance and operate as usual.
4. Periodically check the unit' s battery status by pressing the battery power level button. (Two red and one green battery
status indicator lights indicate a full battery. Only one red battery status indicator lights indicates that the unit needs to be
recharged.)
usB POwer POrt
The USB power port is under the same protective cover as the 12 volt DC outlet at the left hand side of the front panel (refer to the
Features section to locate).
1. Push the USB Power Button to turn the USB Port on and the USB power indicator will light.
2. Lift up the cover of the USB Charging Port.
3. Plug the USB-powered device into the USB Charging Port and operate normally.
4. Periodically check the unit' s battery status by pressing the battery power level button. (Two red and one green battery
status indicator lights indicate a full battery. Only one red battery status indicator lights indicates that the unit needs to be
recharged.)
Notes:
This unit' s USB Power Port does not support data communication. It only provides 5 volts/500mA DC power to an external USB-powered device.
Make sure the USB Power Button is in the off position when the unit is being recharged or stored.
Some household USB-powered electronics will not operate with this unit.
