5 INTRODUCTION This Jump Starter does not have, nor does it require a battery. In place of a battery this Jump Starter is equipped with capacitors temporarily able to store sufficient electrical charge to allow a vehicle to be started. The charge input for the capacitors may be from a vehicle lacking sufficient battery charge to start the vehicle, a healthy battery in a normally functioning vehicle, a 12V DC outlet or a USB outlet. Typically a normally functioning vehicle battery carries a charge of 12.2 volts. Should the voltage of the battery fall below 10.6 volts, it is unlikely the battery will have sufficient charge to start a vehicle. In most cases the capacitor Jump Starter can be charged from a depleted battery. It may also be charged from an independent power source. The Jump Starter does not have to be pre-charged; it is charged there and then as the situation arises. This product is intended for private vehicle use only, and is not intended for commercial, trade or industrial use.

6 IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Read and follow your Jump Starter instructions and safety precautions before using the Jump Starter! DO NOT allow the unit to become wet. DO NOT use the unit in an explosive environment (e.g. the presence of flammable liquid or gases). DO NOT dismantle the unit, there are no user-serviceable parts inside. DO NOT use the unit if it appears damaged in any way. DO NOT use this unit for any other purpose other than that for which it is designed. DO NOT allow children to play with this unit. Ensure your vehicle is in a well ventilated area. Apply the hand brake and select neutral or park before attempting to start the vehicle. Ensure that the ignition and all ancillary electrical equipment are switched off before attaching the unit to the battery. Take care to ensure correct connection polarity. The RED clamp to positive, the BLACK clamp to negative. After the Jump Starter has been fully charged and the Bypass Mode is active, the battery clamps MUST NOT touch each other. Failure to observe this precaution will cause the unit to short circuit, damaging the Jump Starter and voiding product warranty. Once the Bypass Mode has been deactivated, the battery clamps are able to touch. INBUILT PROTECTION FEATURES If the polarity is accidentally reversed when reconnecting to a disabled battery, the Fault / Override indicator Light, (B) will turn red and an alarm will sound. If the battery from which a charge is to be obtained has in excess of 15V of charge, the Fault / Override Indicator Light, (B) will turn red and an alarm will sound. The Jump Starter will not charge. If this occurs, a charge from an alternative source should be sought. 6

9 INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE This Jump Starter has been engineered to address a variety of situations which could confront a motorist with a disabled vehicle. The operational sequence is determined by the status of the deficient battery. This sequence must be followed according to the instructions below Below voltage required to start a vehicle 2.0. Well below the voltage required to start a vehicle 3.0. Completely without charge dead battery Start by connecting to the deficient battery. If the Fault/Override indicator light (B) blinks, the procedure to be followed is firstly, (1) Below Voltage Required to Start a Vehicle, and should this fail to fully charge the Jump Starter, revert to the procedure described under (2) Well below the Voltage Required to Start a Vehicle Below Voltage Required to Start a Vehicle Follow this procedure when the Jump Starter is connected to a deficient battery, the Fault/ Override indicator (B) blinks and the Jump Starter is able to be fully charged by the deficient battery. 1.1 Connect the battery clamps to the vehicle's battery- red to the positive battery terminal, black to the negative battery terminal. When both terminals have been connected the Fault/ Override indicator light (B) will blink. 1.2 Activate the charge button, (C). The Fault/Override indicator light (B) will extinguish. Note: If the Fault/Override indicator light does not extinguish, press the Charge button again to activate correctly. 1.3 When the charge button has been activated, the voltage level in the battery will be displayed on the Battery Charge Level Indicator (A). As the capacitors in the unit accumulate charge, the lights on the indicator panel will begin to rise. As the charging process nears completion the two top lights will start to blink green. Finally, when fully charged, both lights are a fixed green and the unit is ready to start the disabled vehicle. 1.3A Should the Jump Starter not fully charge (two uppermost lights on Battery Level Indicator, not attain a fixed green status), which can occur when the battery is significantly run down, reactivate the charge button. NOTE: Should the Jump Starter not fully charge after five attempts or an alarm sounds, continue with 2.0 or 3.0 detailed below. 1.4 When ready to start the vehicle, press the Start button (D) twice. The Fault/Override indicator light (B) will become a fixed green light. 1.5 Turn the ignition on and your vehicle should start. If the vehicle fails to start, repeat steps for a maximum of 5 times. If the vehicle still does not start, stop and continue with 2.0 or 3.0 as detailed below. 1.6 After the vehicle has started, the Jump Starter can be disconnected, and the vehicle will continue to run. 9

10 2.0. Well Below the Voltage Level Required to Start the Vehicle Follow this procedure when the Jump Starter s Fault/Override indicator (B) blinks, but the Jump Starter is unable to be fully charged by the deficient battery. There are several very important safety aspects which need to be understood and practiced prior to activating the Jump Starter Bypass Mode. It is important to read through the bullet points below in their entirety and fully understand prior to proceeding further. The vehicle's positive lead to the disabled battery must be disconnected. The Jump Starter s positive lead is connected to the disconnected positive battery lead, and the Jump Starter's negative lead connected to the negative battery post (which will have the vehicle's negative lead attached). The critical point in the process is to reconnect the vehicle's disconnected positive lead to the positive battery post, whilst maintaining connection of both Jump Starter leads. BE AWARE - Unless due care is exercised, it is possible to dislodge the Jump Starter leads while reattaching the positive vehicle lead. Should this happen the vehicle's electrical system could be damaged. For the above reason, the reconnection process must be practiced, and only when you are confident in this process, should you proceed to implement the processes of charging the Jump Starter and starting the vehicle. CAUTION: Ensure the Jump Starter is switched OFF whilst mastering this technique! Failure to reconnect the vehicle's lead to the battery post prior to disconnection of either of the Jump Starter leads may cause damage to the vehicle's electrical system. Steps required to start the vehicle: 2.1 Prepare the disabled vehicle to receive the Jump Starter - disconnect the vehicle's battery lead from the battery post (Fig.3). 2.2 Charge the Jump Starter from a power source other than the deficient battery: a battery in another vehicle, a 12V DC outlet (G) in another vehicle, a USB charging outlet (F). (refer specifications for a guide to charging times). 2.3 Connect the Jump Starter's positive lead to vehicle's positive battery lead (Fig.4). 2.4 Activate the Bypass Mode by holding down the On/Off Start Button (D) until a series of beeps is heard and the Fault/Override indicator light (B) becomes a fixed green. This indicates the Bypass Mode has been activated. 2.5 Attach the negative Jump Starter lead to the battery's negative post (still connected) (Fig.5). 2.6 Turn the ignition on and the vehicle should start. If the vehicle fails to start, repeat steps for a maximum of 5 times. If the vehicle still does not start, stop and continue with 3.0 as detailed below. 2.7 After the vehicle starts, carefully reconnect the vehicle's disconnected positive battery lead to the positive battery post, ensuring both Jump Starter leads remain connected (Fig.6) 2.8 Once the vehicle's positive lead has been reconnected to the post, you can safely disconnect the Jump Starter's positive lead. (Fig.7). 10

11 2.9 After disconnecting the Jump Starter's positive lead, deactivate Bypass Mode by pressing the ON/OFF button (D), once. The Fault Override indicator light (B) will extinguish (confirming the Bypass Mode has been deactivated) Disconnect the negative Jump Starter lead Before switching off the vehicle, take it for a short drive to allow the deficient battery to recharge Completely Without Charge dead battery Follow this procedure when the Jump Starter s Fault/ Override indicator does not blink, while connected to the disabled vehicle's battery. 3.1 Connect the Jump Starter to a power source, other than the deficient battery: a battery in another vehicle, a 12 V DC outlet outlet (G) in another vehicle, a USB charging outlet (F). (refer specifications for a guide to charging times). 3.2 Press the Charging Button (C). The Jump Starter will accumulate charge. Once the Jump Starter has fully charged i.e. both the top green lights are showing a fixed green (A), disconnect the Jump Starter from the power source and connect to the disabled vehicle s battery. Connect the red clamps to the positive terminal and the black clamp to the negative terminal. 3.3 Activate the Bypass Mode by holding down the On/Off Start Button (D) until a series of beeps is heard and the Fault/Override indicator light (B) becomes a fixed green. This indicates the Bypass Mode has been activated. 3.4 Turn the ignition on and your vehicle should start. Should the vehicle fail to start, repeat steps for a maximum of 5 times. If the vehicle still does not start, contact one of our customer service team for further assistance on After the vehicle has started, disconnect the positive Jump Starter clamp leads, then press the On/Off Start Button (D) to deactivate the Bypass Mode. After the Fault/Override Indicator light (B) has extinguished (confirming the Override Mode has been deactivated) disconnect the negative clamp lead. 3.6 Before switching off the vehicle, take it for a short drive to allow the deficient battery to recharge. PHONE CHARGING In the event of an emergency, you can charge your mobile phone from a fully charged Jump Starter (methods described above). Plug the charging cable of your phone into the USB port (E) located at the bottom of the unit. Charge time will be approximately 20 minutes. CARE AND MAINTENANCE Simply wipe clean with a soft damp cloth if required. DO NOT dismantle the unit, there are no user-serviceable parts inside. DISPOSAL When the product is no longer required, dispose of it in an environmentally protective way. Contact your local waste authority for recycling information. 11
