Safety & Warnings
Attention
- Don't jump start an engine that exceeds the maximum displacement the unit can bear, or it will cause serious damage to the unit.
- Your jump starter will perform best when its battery is fully charged. If it is less than 25% charged, it may not be able to start your engine.
- Don't connect the positive and negative polarity together when it is powered on.
- Don't try to turn the engine over for more than 4 seconds. Allow the jump starter to cool down for at least 30 seconds after each jump-start attempt.
- Read the instructions carefully before using.
Safety Instructions
- Keep the unit away from heat sources or direct sunlight.
- Do not use the unit if it has been damaged in any way.
- Repairs to electrical equipment should only be performed by a qualified electrician. Improper repairs may place the user at serious risk.
- Do not use this unit for anything other than its intended use.
- Keep the unit out of reach of children. This unit is not a toy.
- Do not use the jump starter to start a bulging car battery.
Additional Safety Instructions and Warnings
- Never charge batteries unattended. When charging batteries, you should always be observing them to monitor the charging process and react to potential problems that may occur.
- If at any time you witness a battery starting to swell or heat up, stop the charging process immediately, disconnect the battery and let it cool down for approximately 15 minutes. The swelling or heat may cause the battery to leak and the reaction with air may cause the chemicals to ignite, resulting in a fire.
- Do not drop the device. The internal circuit might get damaged.
- It is safe to keep the battery in an enclosure to protect it from accidental drop damage.
- Never store or charge the battery pack in extreme temperatures, since extreme temperature could cause a fire.
- Store battery at room temperature between 4°C and 27°C for best results.
- Storing the battery at temperatures greater than 75°C for extended periods of time (more than 2 hours) may cause damage to the battery and possible fire.
- Keep the battery pack away from children.
- Do not attempt to disassemble the device as it may cause damage.

Jump Start your Car
Step 1: Insert the plug of the smart battery clamp completely into the jump starter.
If the green and red light indicators on the battery clamp are flashing alternately, you are safe to move on to the next step.
Step 2: Connect the red clamp to the positive terminal (+) of the car battery, and connect the black clamp to the negative terminal (-) of the car battery.
If the green and red indicators of the battery clamp are flashing alternately, you are safe to move on to the next step.
If the red indicator is on:
1. The battery clamp may be connected in reverse. If so, you need to disconnect the battery clamp from the vehicle and the jump starter.
2. Adjust the clamps for maximum contact with battery terminals.
Step 3-a: Start your car.
If you failed to start your car, you need to disconnect the battery clamp from the vehicle and the jump starter. Wait for at least 30 seconds, then try again.
If you failed to start your car after 3 attempts, you can use the Force Start Function. See step 3-b.
Step 3-b (optional): Force Start Function.
First, please make sure that the clamps are connected to the correct polarity battery terminals. Then, hold the force start button for 3 seconds to start your car. When the indicator light of the smart clamp is solid green, you need to start the vehicle within 30s.
Step 4: Once your car is started, remove the battery clamp from the car battery and the jump starter within 30s.
