Usage Features
Package Contents:
The device comes with a power bank unit, a storage case, a USB cable and car adaptor, a user manual, and a jumper cable with smart & safe protection.
Power Level Indicator Lights:
The device features power level indicator lights to show its battery capacity. Pressing the power button once checks the capacity. The lights flash during charging, and solid lights indicate the battery capacity (1 Flashing: Below 5%, 1 Solid: 5-25%, 2 Solid: 26-50%, 3 Solid: 51-76%, 4 Solid: 76%-Full). All solid lights mean the device is fully charged.
Charging the Jump Starter:
The jump starter can be charged in two ways:
- At home: Plug the USB cable into a computer or any USB 2A wall adapter (not included) and connect the micro USB cable to the jump starter.
- In car: Plug the included USB car adapter into an available 12V socket and connect the micro USB cable to the jump starter.
It is recommended to fully charge the unit upon first receipt and recharge every 2-3 months, and after every use, to maintain efficiency and prolong battery life.
Charging USB Devices:
Users can charge two USB devices simultaneously. One port is a Type-C socket (max output 2A at 9V, 2.6A at 5V), and the other is a USB-A port (max output 2.4A). To start charging, press the power button once. The power level indicator will show the battery level for 30 seconds before turning off. Pressing the button again will check the power capacity.
Jump Starting a Vehicle:
- Preparation: Put the vehicle in park (neutral for manual transmission) and engage the emergency brake. Locate the vehicle battery.
- Check Jump Starter Power: Press the power button once to ensure the jump starter has at least 3 solid indicator lights (51% or more charge).
- Connect Jumper Cable to Jump Starter: Plug the blue end of the jumper cable into the jump start socket on the power bank, located underneath the black cover.
- Connect Clamps to Battery:
- Connect the RED clamp to the POSITIVE (+) post on the car battery. The positive post is usually larger and marked with a PLUS (+) sign, possibly with a red protective cover.
- Connect the BLACK clamp to the NEGATIVE (-) post on the car battery. The negative post is marked with a MINUS (-) sign, possibly with a black protective cover.
- Caution: Do not connect the RED and BLACK clamps at the same time. Connect RED first, then BLACK. Do not lean directly over the battery while making connections. Avoid mixing up cables or allowing metal ends to touch.
- Check LED Status: Observe the LED status on the indicator light box on the jumper cable. Proceed to the next step unless the light is RED and BEEPING.
- Start Vehicle: You have 90 seconds to start the vehicle. If it doesn't crank or cranks slowly, wiggle connections. Wait 60 seconds before trying again. Each new attempt requires disconnecting and reconnecting both clamps. Do not attempt more than 3 times.
- Disconnect Jumper Cables: Once the engine starts, the BLACK clamp's indicator box will show red and beep. Disconnect cables within 30 seconds: first the RED/POSITIVE (+) clamp, then the BLACK/NEGATIVE (-) clamp. Unplug the BLUE end of the jumper cable from the jump starter. The jump starter will power off automatically after 30 seconds.
- Engine Run Time: Keep the engine running for 20-30 minutes or drive the car to recharge the battery.
LED Light Features:
The device includes an LED flashlight with multiple modes:
- Flashlight: Press and hold the power button for three seconds.
- Strobe Light: Press the power button once while in flashlight mode.
- Hazard Light: Press the power button once while in strobe light mode.
- Turn Off: Press and hold the power button for three seconds.
The flashlight will not work while the unit is charging as a safety precaution.
