high impedance. The manufacturer suggests leaving the unit charging
for a period of 40 hours using the built-in AC charger before use.
Charging/Recharging Using the
Built-In 120 Volt AC Charger and
AC Extension Cord (not supplied)
1. Lift the protective cover of the built-in 120 Volt AC Charger
located on the back of the unit (refer to Fig. 1 to locate). Connect
an extension cord to the unit. Plug the other end of the cord into
a standard 120-volt AC wall outlet. When the unit is properly
connected to an AC power source, the LCD screen will display
the following:
The bars on the Battery Status Icon represent the charge level of
the unit’s internal battery. The bars on the Battery Status Icon will
change from empty to solid (bottom to top) repeatedly to indicate
the unit is charging. The backlight will turn on for 10 seconds (only).
2. Charge for approximately 40 hours or until the Battery Status Icon
shows 4 solid bars.
3. When charging is complete, unplug the AC extension cord from
the AC outlet and then disconnect it from the unit.
Charging the Unit Using the 12V DC
Charging Adapter (optional accessory)
CAUTION – To reduce the risk of property damage:
• NEVER connect this unit to a positive grounded vehicle using the 12
Volt DC Charging Adapter.
• The 12 Volt DC Charging Adapter must only be connected to batteries
with a nominal output voltage of 12 volts. The unit will not operate
from a 6 volt battery and will sustain permanent damage if connected
to a 24 volt battery.
PROCEDURE
1. Lift the protective cover of the Built-in 120 Volt AC Charger located
on the back of the unit (refer to Fig. 1 to locate). Make sure the
AC extension cord is disconnected from the 120 Volt AC Charger.
2. Insert the barrel tip of the 12V DC Charging Adapter into the 12V
DC Charging Port on the back of the unit.
3. Insert the grooved tip of the 12V DC Charging Adapter into the
vehicle’s 12V DC accessory outlet or other functioning 12V DC
power source. When the unit is properly connected to an DC power
source, the LCD Screen will display the following:
The bars on the Battery Icon represent the charge level of the
unit’s internal battery. The bars on the Battery Icon will change from
empty to solid (from bottom to top) repeatedly to indicate that the
unit is charging. The backlight will turn on for 10 seconds (only).
4. Charge for 6 hours. Do not overcharge.
5. Disconnect the DC Charging Adapter from the unit and the 12V
DC power source when not in use.
Notes Concerning the DC Charging Method:
A. IMPORTANT: The DC recharging method will NOT recharge the
unit as effectively as recharging from 120 volt AC. Manufacturer
suggests that you only use the 12 Volt DC Charging Adapter if
the unit needs to be charged immediately and no 120 volt power
source is available.
B. When using a vehicle’s 12V DC accessory outlet as a power
source, be aware that some vehicles require the ignition be turned
on to power the accessory outlet.
C. The bars on the Battery Icon will continue changing from empty
to solid (bottom to top) repeatedly, but may not show 4 solid bars
when using the 12 volt DC charging method.
Jump-Starter
This unit is equipped with a jump starter power switch that allows energy
to flow only when proper connections are made to battery and frame.
A. For negative-grounded systems, connect the positive (red) clamp
to the positive ungrounded battery post and the negative (black)
clamp to the vehicle chassis or engine block away from the
battery. Do not connect the clamp to the carburetor, fuel lines or
sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gage metal part of
the frame or engine block.
B. For positive-grounded systems, connect the negative (black)
clamp to the negative ungrounded battery post and the positive
(red) clamp to the vehicle chassis or engine block away from the
battery. Do not connect the clamp to the carburetor, fuel lines or
sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gage metal part of
the frame or engine block.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the Compressor Power Button has been
turned off before attempting to use the unit as a Jump Starter.
WARNING – To reduce the risk of serious injury or property
damage:
• Follow all safety instructions found in the “Specific Safety Instructions
for Jump Starters” section of this instruction manual.
• Never touch red and black clamps together. This can cause
dangerous sparks, power arcing, and/or explosion.
• If the clamps are connected incorrectly with regard to polarity, the unit
will sound a continuous alarm until the clamps are disconnected. The
backlit LCD Screen will display the Battery Status Icon, the Battery
Voltage Indicator and the Clamp Icons. The “+” and”–” signs above
the Clamp Icons, the Reverse Polarity Icons and the Alarm Icon will
flash. The backlit LCD screen will display the following:
CAUTION: The unit will suffer permanent damage if the Jump Starter
Power Switch is turned on while the clamps connected with reverse
polarity. Disconnect the clamps and reconnect to battery with correct
polarity.
• If the Jump Starter Power Switch is turned on and the unit detects
that the clamps are not connected to a battery, a two-second warning
will sound every 10 seconds. The LCD screen will display the Battery
Status Icon, the Battery Voltage Indicator, and the Clamp Icons with
the “+” and”–” signs. The Alarm Icon and the Jump Starter Icon will
flash. The backlit LCD screen will display the following:
Turn off the Jump Starter Power Switch; connect the clamps to the
battery, making sure the clamps are connected with correct polarity;
then turn the Jump Starter Power Switch back on.
