Important Safety InformationMisusing or incorrectly connecting the Duracell® Jump-starter may damagethe equipment or create hazardous conditions for users. Read the followingsafety instructions and pay special attention to all Caution and Warningstatements in the guide.• Warnings identify conditions that may result in personal injury or loss of life.• Cautions identify conditions or practices that may damage the unit or otherequipment.IMPORTANTFor general usage warnings and cautions, please see Section 9:Warnings and Cautions on Page 2 of this manual. Please read theseitems carefully before using this jump-starter.WARNING: ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARDThe jump-starting clamps may spark if touched together. Always keep theclamps in their storage holsters when they are not being used.3. Charging/Recharging the Jump-starter► Charging before first useIMPORTANTPrior to using the jump-starter for the first time, ensure that the battery ofthe jump-starter is fully charged. If the battery has been fully discharged,charging/recharging with the AC battery charger may take up to 12 hours.Charging / recharging with the AC battery chargerRecharging with the AC battery charger is a true “plug-in-and-forget” chargingmethod. We recommend leaving the AC battery charger connected when thejump-starter is not in use.1. Disconnect any USB and 12V DC appliances from the DC power outlets.2. Remove the AC charger from the storage compartment under the unit.3. Plug the AC battery charger into a standard AC wall outlet. Plug theother end of the charger into the 12V socket of the jump-starter. The“Red” LED on the charger will light up when battery is charging4. Recharging time should be approximately 12 hours if the jump-starterbattery is fully discharged. “Green” LED lights up on charger whenbattery is fully charged.IMPORTANTThe 12-hour charging time for the jump-starter assumes that there is 120VAC at the AC wall outlet. If the voltage is less than 120V AC, it may takemore than 12 hours to fully recharge the jump-starter If, after 12 hoursof charging, the Battery Status LED remains red, continue to charge theunit for another 12 hours. The unit will be ready for use even if the BatteryStatus LED remains red.IMPORTANTIf you keep the jump-starter in storage, the battery will discharge over time.Remember to recharge the battery every three months to keep the jump-starter operational.Note: Once fully charged, the charging current automatically reduces to amaintenance charge mode, and the jump-starter may be left permanentlyconnected to the AC battery charger.4. Checking the Jump-starter’s Battery LevelTo check the battery’s charge level, press the Fuel Gauge button. The LEDlights will illuminate and display the current level of available battery power.When all four lights are lit, this indicates that your Jump-starter is fullycharged. It is recommended to maintain a full charge on the Jump-starter atall times for optimal jump starting and device charging.IMPORTANTYour jump-starter will perform best when its battery is fully charged. If theLED Fuel Gauge shows less than 100% charge, it is recommended to fullyrecharge your battery (see Section 3: “Charging/Recharging the Jump-starter’s Battery” above).Note: Battery Fuel Gauge status is only accurate when the jump-starterhas been disconnected from all appliances and all charging sources for 15minutes.5. Using The Jump-starter’s Light / Power Ports► Using the built-in lightThe Duracell® Jump-starter has a built-in emergency light to provide a safe,bright work light on the roadside and in other outdoor environments.1. Push the “Emergency Light” button to turn on the LED light.2. Position the jump-starter so that the light illuminates your work area.3. When done, push the “Emergency Light” button again to turn the LEDlight off.► Using the USB portThe USB port provides up to 2.1 Amps of power to charge cell phones,smartphones, tablets and other devices.To charge USB devices:1. Connect your USB device (smartphone, tablet player, etc.) to the USBport using the USB cable supplied with your device.2. Push the “On/Off” button.3. Charging will start and up to 2.1 Amps of current can be supplied by theport. The USB device controls the amount of current supplied. Thejump-starter never “pushes” more than required by the devices.4. Push the “On/Off” button again when done to turn the USB port off.► Using the 12V DC power socketThe jump-starter can operate 12V DC appliances that draw 11A or less froma 12V DC power outlet or from a vehicle’s lighter socket.CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGEThe DC power outlet does not automatically switch off when the internalbattery is discharged. Check the battery status periodically to prevent totalbattery discharge.Note: The fewer watts a 12V DC appliance draws, the longer the jump-starter will operate before recharging is required.To operate a 12V DC appliance:5. Open the protective cover on the jump-starter’s DC power socket.6. Plug the 12V DC appliance into the DC power outlet on the front panel ofthe unit, and turn the 12V DC appliance on (if required).7. Fully recharge the jump-starter as soon as possible after each use.8. As the DC power socket is internally wired directly to the jump-starter’sbattery, extended operation of a 12V DC appliance may result inexcessive battery discharge. See “Caution: Equipment Damage” above.6. Jump-Starting A Vehicle’s EngineYou can use the Duracell® jump-starter with the supplied jump-start cables tojump-start a vehicle or boat engine that has a 12V starting battery.WARNING: FIRE HAZARDNever allow jump-start cables’ red and black clamps to touch each otheror another common metal conductor. This could cause damage to the unitand/or create a sparking/explosion hazard.WARNING: FIRE HAZARDJump-start cable clamps’ connection to the vehicle’s battery terminals mustbe positive to positive (red clamp to battery “+”) and negative to engineblock. A reverse polarity connection (positive to negative) may causedamage to the unit and/or create a sparking/explosion hazard.WARNING: FIRE HAZARDDo not crank the engine for more than 4 seconds. The jump-start feature isdesigned for short term operation only. Operating the jump-start feature formore than 4 seconds may cause damage to the unit. Allow the jump-starterto cool down for at least 3 minutes after each jump-start.► To jump-start a vehicle engine:1. Turn OFF the vehicle or boat ignition and all accessories.2. Engage the park or emergency brake and place the transmission in parkfor an automatic or neutral for a manual.3. If jump-starting a boat engine, purge the engine compartment and bilgeof all fumes.4. Position the jump-starter on a flat, stable surface near the battery andaway from all moving parts of the engine.5. Connect the red positive (+) clamp of the cables to the positive (+)terminal of the engine battery. The battery’s positive terminal is usuallylarger in diameter than the negative terminal. In most vehicles, thebattery’s positive terminal has a red wire connected to it.6. Connect the black negative (–) clamp of the cables to the engine block,cylinder head, or other stationary heavy metal part of the motor. |
