Thedigitaldisplaywillshowtheexternalbatteryvoltagewhenthepowerpackisconnected.
If the polarity is incorrect on the battery connection, there will be no display. Pressing the
internalbatteryvoltagebuttonwilldisplaytheinternalvoltageexpressedeitheras12Vor
24Vdependingontheswitchsettingonthebackofthepowerpack.Whenthepowerpack
is being recharged, the meter will show charging with the letters CH and animation speed
dependingontheamountofcurrentow.Whentheunitisfullycharged,thedisplaywill
readFUL.
TheyellowLowVoltageLEDindicatorlightwillilluminatewhenevertheRescue2100is
turnedonandtheexternalvoltageattheclampsislow,ortheyarenotconnected.Thisis
normal.SeethesectiononusingtheRescue2100asa12Vor24Vpowersource.
ThevoltageindicatingLEDlightswillindicateinternallowbatteryvoltagebyashing.The
moredischargedtheinternalbatterybecomes,thefasterthelightwillash.Presstheinter-
nalbatteryvoltagebuttontoseetheexactinternalbatterystatus.

Troubleshooting
Problem: Rescue 2100 turns off under load.
• Theinternalbatterymaybelow.
 •Checktheinternalbatteryvoltageandrechargeasneeded.
• Extremelyhighcurrentdrawispresent.Thismaybebecausethereisashortcircuit
in the system to be jump started.
 •Check the system for short circuits.
• TheloadrequiredmayexceedthecapacityoftheRescue2100.Verylargebatteriesor
battery banks may require recharging, not jump start assistance.
Problem: Green power light fails to light when the start button is pressed.
Unit is sounding a tone.
• Checkthereversepolaritylight.Ifitisilluminated,reversetheclampconnections.
• Checkthevoltageerrorlight.Ifitisilluminated,selectthecorrectbatteryvoltage.
• Theinternalbatteryvoltageisbelow8.5V.Checktheinternalbatteryvoltage,and
recharge the unit.
Problem: The Rescue 2100 will not recharge.
• Ifnotoneissounding,checkthepowercordforsecureconnection,andverifythatthe
wall power outlet is live.
• Iftoneissounding,turnthevoltageselectorto12V.
Problem: The low voltage light is lit and the unit will not engage.
• Thiscanhappenifthebatteryontheunittobestartedisseverelydischarged.
 1.VerifythatthepropervoltagehasbeenselectedontheRescue2100.
 2.Verifythattheclampsareconnectedcorrectly,positivetopositiveandnegative
to ground.
 3.PressandholdtheStartbuttonfor4seconds.
 4.VerifythegreenPowerlightison.Theunitisnowconnected.
