Do not allow water or other liquids to drop or splash onthe Jumpstart.Cool. Ambient air temperature should be between 0 and 40ºC(32 and 104ºF)—the cooler the better within this range.Ventilated. Leave at least 2" (5 cm) clearance around the Jumpstartfor air flow. Ensure that the ventilation openings are notobstructed.Safe. Do not operate the unit in the same compartment asbatteries or in any compartment capable of storingflammable liquids like gasoline.Protected from battery gases.Do not operate the Jumpstart where itwill be exposed to battery gases. These gases are verycorrosive, and prolonged exposure will damage theJumpstart.Using the Instant Jumpstart System for the First TimePrior to jumpstarting a vehicle or operating your 12 V DC appliance,ensure that the battery of the Instant Jumpstart System is fullycharged.Note: Press and hold the Battery Level button to view the batterycharge status.Note: If the battery level is low but has not been fully discharged,recharging with the AC Charger may take up to 28 hours.Recharging with the AC ChargerNote: The Instant Jumpstart System battery level LEDs are onlyaccurate when the Jumpstart has been disconnected from allappliances and all charging sources for 15 minutes.Note: When the battery is fully charged, all four LEDs will be lit. Ascharge decreases, the number of lit LEDs will decrease. When onlyone LED is lit, the unit is discharged.Note: Recharging with the AC Charger is a true “plug-in-and-forget”charging method. We recommend leaving the AC Charger connectedwhen the Instant Jumpstart System is not in use.To recharge the Instant Jumpstart System:1. Disconnect any 12 V DC appliances and turn the light OFF.2. Plug the AC Charger into a standard AC wall outlet.3. Insert the AC Charger cable end into the AC Charger Input Socket(see Features).The Battery Status LED changes from red to green when charging iscomplete (about 28 hours if the battery is completely discharged).Important: The 28-hour charging time for the Jumpstart assumes thatthere is 120 V AC at the AC wall outlet. If the voltage is less than 120V AC, it may take more than 28 hours to fully recharge the Jumpstart.If, after 28 hours of charging, the Battery Status LED remains red,continue to charge the unit for another 12 hours. The unit will beready for use even if the Battery Status LED remains red.Important: If you keep the Instant Jumpstart System in storage, thebattery will self-discharge over time. Remember to recharge thebattery every month to keep the Instant Jumpstart Systemoperational.Note: Once fully charged, the charging current automatically reducesto a maintenance charge mode, and the Jumpstart may be leftpermanently connected to the AC Charger.Using the FlashlightThe Instant Jumpstart System has an incandescent flashlight whichwill operate for about 30 hours before the unit needs to be recharged.The On/Off switch is located above the light (see Features).Operating 12 V DC AppliancesThe Instant Jumpstart System can operate as a 12 V DC power sourceto portable appliances that draw 15 A or less from a 12 V DC poweroutlet..Note: The fewer watts a 12 V DC appliance draws, the longer theInstant Jumpstart System will operate before recharging is required.The table below lists typical 12 V appliances that can be used withthe Instant Jumpstart System.a) Represents actual power consumption as measured on sample appliances.b) Operating times assume a fully charged 17 Ah battery and may vary basedon model or brand of appliance.c) Represents talk time available from 5 recharge cycles.To operate a 12 V DC appliance:1. Open the protective cover on the DC Power Outlet of the InstantJumpstart System.2. Plug the 12 V DC appliance into the DC Power Outlet and turnthe 12 V DC appliance on (if required).If the 12 V DC appliance draws more than 15 A (or has a short-circuit defect), the 15 A external fuse will blow. If this occurs,unplug the 12 V DC appliance and replace the fuse with a new15 A fuse.3. Fully recharge the Instant Jumpstart System as soon as possibleafter each use. As the DC Power Outlet is internally wired directlyto the unit’s battery, extended operation of a 12 V DC appliancemay result in excessive battery discharge.Jumpstarting a Vehicle’s EngineYou can use the Instant Jumpstart System to jumpstart a vehicle orboat engine (most 4 cyl. and 6 cyl.) that has a 12 V starting batteryusing the supplied jumpstart cables.Important: Closely follow the succeeding instructions includingwarnings for jumpstarting your vehicle as they may be different fromthe instructions supplied with other jumpstarting products orjumpstarting cables.To jumpstart a vehicle:1. Turn off the vehicle or boat ignition and all accessories.2. Engage the park or emergency brake and place the transmission inpark for an automatic or neutral for a manual.Note: Many vehicles with manual transmissions require that thegear is set to neutral and that the clutch is fully in before starting.3. If jumpstarting a boat engine, purge the engine compartment andbilge of all fumes before jumpstarting.4. Position the Instant Jumpstart System on a flat, stable surface nearthe battery and away from all moving parts of the engine.Important: Ensure that the Power Switch is OFF.5. Connect the red positive (+) clip of the cables to the positive (+)terminal of the engine battery.The battery’s positive terminal is usually larger in diameter thanthe negative terminal. In most vehicles, the battery’s positiveterminal has a red wire connected to it.6.
