WARNING! RISK OF EXPLOSION.
To prevent sparking, NEVER allow the
clips to touch together or to contact the
same piece of metal. Never attempt to
jump start a frozen battery.
6.2 Powering A 12V DC Device:
The jump starter is a power source for all
12V DC accessories that are equipped
with a 12V accessory plug. Use it for
power outages and shing or camping
trips. Estimated usage time is listed in the
following chart.
1. Make sure the device to be powered
is OFF before inserting a 12V DC
accessory plug into the 12V DC socket.
2. Ensure the battery clips are securely
clipped on the storage holders.
3. Open the protective cover of the 12V DC
power outlet on the front of the jump
starter.
4. Plug the 12V DC device into the 12V
DC power outlet, and turn the 12V DC
device on (if required).
5. If the 12V DC device draws more than
15A or has a short circuit, the internal
circuit breaker of the jump starter
will trip and disconnect the power to
the device. Disconnect the 12V DC
device. The breaker will automatically
reset a short time after an overload is
disconnected.
6. Recharge immediately after unplugging
the 12V DC device.
NOTE: The DC power outlet is wired
directly to the internal battery. Extended
operation of a 12V DC device may result
in excessive battery drain.

6.3 Using the USB Port
The USB port provides up to 2.1A at 5V DC.
1. Ensure the battery clips are securely
clipped on the storage holders.
2. Turn the Rear Console USB/Converter
switch to the “USB” position.
3. Plug the device into the USB port on
the rear console.
4. Turn the USB device on.
5. Reverse these steps when nished
using the USB port.
6. Charge the jump starter as soon as
possible after using the USB port.
6.4 Before Using the Converter
Important Safety Instructions:
1. Keep the jump starter well ventilated
in order to properly disperse heat
generated while it is in use. Make sure
there are several inches of clearance
around the top and sides and do not
block the vents on the sides of the
jump starter.
2. Make sure the jump starter is not close
to any potential source of ammable
fumes or clothing.
3. Keep the jump starter dry.
4. DO NOT allow the jump starter to
come into contact with rain or moisture.
5. DO NOT operate the jump starter if
you, the jump starter, the device being
operated or any other surfaces that
may come in contact with any power
source are wet. Water and many other
liquids can conduct electricity, which
may lead to serious injury or death.
6. Do not place the jump starter on or
near heating vents, radiators or other
sources of heat.
7. Do not place the jump starter in direct
sunlight. The ideal air temperature for
operation is between 50° and 80°F.
8. Do not use the converter near an open
engine compartment where fumes may
accumulate.
9. Do not modify the AC receptacles in
any way.
6.5 Using the Converter
It is important to know the continuous
wattage of the device you plan to use with
the converter. The jump starter must be
used with devices drawing 400 watts or
less. If the wattage is not marked on the
device, use only devices that draw less than
4.0 Amps of AC current.
Devices like TVs, fans or electric motors
require additional power to start (commonly
known as the “starting” or “peak” power).
The jump starter can supply a momentary
surge in wattage; however, even devices
rated less than the maximum 400 watts can
exceed the converter’s surge capability and
cause an automatic overload shutdown.
Do not use the converter with a product
that draws a higher wattage than the
converter can provide, as this may cause
damage to the converter and the product.
Make sure the device you are using is
compatible with a modied sine wave
converter.
