CHARGING THE JUMPSTART SYSTEM! CAUTION This unit has maintenance free, built in sealed lead acid battery. Although the Jumpstart System arrives partially charged from the factory, it MUST BE FULLY CHARGED FOR 28 HOURS BEFORE FIRST USE, even if the battery digital gas gauge meter+ indicates a 99% charge. This initial charge pre-conditions the battery. Failure to follow this procedure may permanently damage the battery. CHARGING WITH AC ADAPTOR Plug the AC adaptor cord into the input charging jack on the front of the unit and the adaptor into any 110 Volt AC wall outlet. The digital gas gauge meter+ will begin to flash to indicate the unit is charging. Charge for 28 hours or until battery is full. In the final stages of the charging procedure, the digital gas gauge meter+ will flash 99%. For full capacity, allow unit to continue charging for 2-3 hours. Once the AC adaptor input jack is removed from the unit, the digital gas gauge meter+ will remain illuminated for approximately 30 seconds. CHARGING WITH DC ADAPTOR Due to safety circuits built into the input charging jack, DC charging through this location will not fully charge the battery. Plug input of DC adapter plug into charging port of Jumpstart and the other end into the cigarette lighter socket of your vehicle. Green light on DC adapter outlet will illuminate and the digital gas gauge meter+ will begin to flash to indicate the unit is charging. Vehicle should be running for full charging to take place. Note: This method allows battery to be topped up during a journey but may not fully charge the unit. Disconnect charging cord before turning off engine. NEVER leave vehicle running in an enclosed or poorly ventilated space. CHARGING TIPS AND WARNINGS Keep battery power topped up, ready for emergencies. Unlike some rechargeable batteries, frequent charging will not harm and in fact, will improve the performance of the internal battery. Recharge battery as soon as possible after each use to prolong battery life. Frequent heavy discharges between recharging will reduce battery life. Do not leave Jumpstart in a total discharged state for an extended period of time as this can cause battery failure. All lead acid batteries suffer from self-discharge over time, especially under extreme temperatures. Store in a cool dry place. Recharge every 3 months when not in use and more frequently in warmer or colder storage conditions. Do not continuously charge the Jumpstart system for more than 36 hours. Use only the charging adaptors provided with this unit. DO NOT OPERATE ANY OF THIS UNITS FUNCTIONS WHILE CHARGING IS IN PROCESS.

BATTERY STATUS Press the Battery Test button. The digital gas gauge meter+ will illuminate to show the amount of power remaining in the Jumpstart System. Digital gas gauge meter+ will remain illuminated for approximately 30 seconds. Pressing the battery test button a second time will illuminate the PSI portion of the digital gas gauge meter+. To turn the digital gas gauge meter+ off, press the battery test button twice, the digital gas gauge meter+ will go out. 1. When the battery is fully charged, the digital gas gauge meter+ will display 99%. 2. When the battery is at about 50% capacity it should be recharged as soon as possible It will be able to operate the LED light and most 12 Volt Accessories for a limited time but will be inadequate for the Boosting function. Take care to not let the battery deep discharge as it may damage the battery. 3. When the digital gas gauge meter+ displays 25%, the battery is low and usage must be discontinued immediately. Recharge battery as soon as possible and before further use.
