1. Determinethevoltagerequirementforthedevicetobepowered.Select12Vor24Von
the back of the power pack.
2. Connect the red (positive +) clamp to the positive input terminal and the black
(negative –) clamp to the negative input terminal.
3. VerifythattheLowVoltage/SmartPolarityOfflightisilluminated.
4. PressandholdtheStartbuttonfor4seconds.Thebatterymeterdisplaywillshow

Beforeusingyourportablepowerpack,youshouldfullychargeit.Note:TheRescue2100
willrechargeonlywhenthevoltageselectorisinthe12Vposition.Thebatterydisplaymeter
willshowwhentheunitischargingandwhenitisfullycharged.Youcanchecktheactual
batteryvoltageanytimebypressingtheinternalbatteryvoltagebutton.Rechargeevery30
daysoranytimetheinternalbatteryvoltagefallsbelow11.5V.Fluctuationsintemperature
can accelerate battery discharge. Check your unit often. Charge using the supplied built-in
A/CchargerorusetheRescue604095in-cabchargingcord.
1. Determinetherequiredbatteryvoltageofthevehicletobejumpstarted,andsetthe
 switchonthebackofthepowerpacktothecorrectvoltage.Verifythatthecorrect
voltage light is illuminated on the front panel of the power pack.
2. Checkvehiclebatteryterminalsbeforeusingthepowerpack;cleanthemifnecessary.
3. Connect the red (positive +) clamp to the positive terminal or post on the discharged
battery.
4. Connect the black (negative –) clamp to a ground away from the battery, such as an
alternator bracket.
 • Note:Somevehiclesareequippedwithpositiveandnegativestartterminalsaway
 fromthebattery.Usetheseterminalswhenavailable.
5. VerifythegreenSmartPolaritylightison.Ifitis,pressStart.Ifitisnot,refertothe
troubleshooting section.
6. VerifythePowerlightison.Theunitisnowsupplyingjumpstartingpowertoyour
