Function Description:

The Hulkman Alpha 100 is a versatile portable power device primarily designed for jump-starting vehicles. Beyond its core function, it also serves as a power bank for USB-A devices, a 12V DC power source for various appliances, and features an integrated LED flashlight.

Jump Starting a Vehicle:

The primary function of the Alpha 100 is to jump-start vehicles. The process involves three main steps:

1. Connection: Insert the jumper cable into the jump starter and connect the clamps to the car battery. Ensure the "+" and "-" poles are correctly matched.
2. Readiness Check: The device screen will display "READY" once the connection is established and the system is prepared.
3. Engine Start: Once "READY" is displayed, you can proceed to start your car engine.

Force Start Function:

In situations where the screen displays nothing despite correct clamp connection, the "Force Start Function" can be used to enter boost mode. This is a manual override for the auto-detection system. To activate Force Start:

1. Verify that the clamps are correctly connected and the product's battery level is above 20%.
2. Simultaneously press the Power Button and Flashlight Button for 2-3 seconds.
3. The screen will then display "READY," allowing you to proceed with engine ignition. Important Warning: When using the Force Start Function, auto-detection and safety features are disabled. Exercise caution.

USB-A Output Port:

The Alpha 100 includes a USB-A output port, allowing it to function as a power bank for charging compatible devices. To use:

1. Plug your charging cable into the USB-A output port.
2. Press the Power Button to initiate charging.

12V DC Output Port (MAX 15V/10A):

The device also features a 12V DC output port, providing power for various 12V DC appliances. To use:

1. Plug the 12V cigarette lighter socket adapter into the 12V DC output port.
2. Connect your 12V DC appliances to the cigarette lighter adapter.
3. Press the Power Button to supply power.

LED Flashlight:

An integrated LED flashlight provides illumination with multiple modes. To use:

1. Hold the Flashlight Button for 1-2 seconds to turn it on/off.
2. Press briefly to cycle through the light modes: 50% Lumen Light → 100% Lumen Light → White Strobe Light → White SOS Light → Red Strobe Light.

Pre-Heat Tech:

The Alpha 100 incorporates "Pre-Heat Tech" to ensure optimal performance in cold conditions.

1. Connect the clamps to the car battery correctly.
2. If the detected temperature is below the ideal operating range, the Pre-Heat Function will automatically activate, and a corresponding icon will be displayed on the screen.
3. Once preheating is complete, the screen will show "READY," indicating it's safe to start your car engine.
