This document describes the TACKLIFE T8 Pro smart car jump starter, a versatile device designed to assist with vehicle starting and provide portable power for various electronic devices. The jump starter is engineered for ease of use and safety, featuring an intelligent detection system and multiple protection mechanisms.
Function Description
The primary function of the TACKLIFE T8 Pro is to jump start 12V gasoline and diesel vehicles. It connects directly to the car battery using smart jumper clamps, providing a powerful boost to start the engine. The device incorporates an LCD screen that displays the remaining power, charging status ("IN"), and output status ("OUT") when powering other devices.
Beyond jump starting, the T8 Pro serves as a portable power bank. It offers several output ports:
- USB 5V/2.1A Output: For charging cell phones, tablets, and other USB-powered devices.
- Quick Charge Output (5V/9V): Provides faster charging for compatible devices.
- 12V/10A Output: Designed to power other 12V car accessories, such as portable tire air pumps, via a cigarette adapter.
The device also includes integrated lighting features:
- LED Flashlight: Offers stable, strobe, and SOS modes for various lighting needs.
- Emergency Light: A red emergency light for signaling in critical situations.
- Compass: A built-in compass for navigation.
Usage Features
Charging the T8 Pro:
The T8 Pro can be recharged using either a wall charger or a car charger.
- Wall Charger: Plug the wall charger into a universal socket, then connect the charger's end to the 15V input port of the T8 Pro.
- Car Charger: Plug the car charger into the cigarette lighter socket, then connect the charger's end to the 15V input port of the T8 Pro.
The LCD screen will display "IN" during charging and "100%" when fully charged.
Jump Starting 12V Vehicles:
- Connect Clamps: Plug the blue end of the smart jump clamps into the 12V smart jumper socket on the T8 Pro. Ensure it is fully inserted to prevent melting.
- Connect to Battery: Connect the red clamp to the positive (+) battery terminal and the black clamp to the negative (-) battery terminal.
- Check Indicator Light: The smart jumper cable has an indicator light that provides feedback on the connection status:
- Green Light (ON), Red Light (OFF): Connection is correct and ready to start the car.
- Green Light (Blinking), Red Light (OFF): Car battery power is too low or dead. Press the "BOOST" button; the green light will turn on, allowing engine start within 30 seconds.
- Green Light (OFF), Red Light (OFF): Internal battery is too hot, T8 Pro is at low power capacity, or clamps are not connected tightly. Allow the unit to cool, recharge, or reconnect.
- Green Light (OFF), Red Light (ON): Overcurrent protection activated. Wait at least 30 seconds.
- Green Light (Blinking), Red Light (Blinking): Temperature protection initiated. Wait 10 minutes for automatic resume.
- Red Light (ON) with Buzzing: Reverse battery connections. Reconnect the poles correctly until the green light turns on.
- Start Engine: Once the connection is correct (green light on), start the engine.
- Disconnect: After starting the engine, immediately disconnect the clamps from the car battery within 30 seconds and remove the T8 Pro.
Important Jump Starting Notes:
- Ensure the power of the T8 Pro is above 75% before jump starting.
- Do not use the device to start the car while it is being charged.
- Avoid continuously starting the car more than 3 times. Allow a two-minute interval between each start to prevent overheating and damage.
- Do not charge the device immediately after a successful jump start.
- Only use the provided jump clamps. If the clamps are damaged, discontinue use.
- Ensure there is no rust or foreign matter at the interface before connecting the clamps.
Charging Cell Phones and Tablets:
- Plug a USB cable into the USB quick charge output or 5V/2.1A output.
- Connect the Micro-USB (or appropriate) end to your cell phone or tablet.
- Press the power button to begin charging.
Powering Other Car Equipments:
- Plug the cigarette adapter into the 12V/10A output port.
- Connect the power cable of the 12V car equipment to the cigarette adapter.
- Press the power button to supply power to the equipment.
LED Flashlight Instructions:
- Turn On/Cycle Modes: Hold the power button for a few minutes to turn on the flashlight. Press it again to cycle through Stable, Strobe, and SOS modes, then OFF.
