OPERATION

4.1. JUMP STARTING
4.1.1. Ensure both the ignition of vehicle to be started and the Roadstart main power switch is switched off before any connections are made to the battery.
4.1.2. Connect the RED (+) alligator clamp of the Roadstart to the RED (+) positive battery terminal of the vehicle.
4.1.3. Connect the BLACK(-) alligator clamp of the Roadstart to a non-moving metal part of the engine or chassis (avoid connecting to fuel lines).
4.1.4. Switch the Roadstart main switch to ON position – either 12V or 24V selection depending on vehicle system required. Listen for audible beep indicating an accidental reversed polarity – the RED LED light within the display will illuminate solidly, and a continuous audible tone will be heard. If beeping is heard, switch off main power switch, disconnect then reconnect clamps in the above order ensuring polarity is correct
4.1.5. Once Roadstart main power switch is ON (12V or 24V setting), leave for approximately 30 seconds.
4.1.6. With the Roadstart still connected and switched on, turn the vehicle ignition and crank the engine.
DO NOT crank the engine for any more than 5 seconds at a time.
4.1.7. If the engine fails to start, wait for at least 2 minutes before trying again to avoid overloading the unit.
4.1.8. Once the engine is running, switch the Roadstart power switch to the OFF position. Disconnect the BLACK(-) Negative clamp from the vehicle first, and return the cable to its storage position on the Roadstart unit.
4.1.9. Disconnect the RED (+) Positive clamp last, and return the cable to its storage position on the Roadstart unit. As soon as possible, connect the Roadstart to the supplied 230V AC Charger and recharge the unit to maintain battery life.
4.2. LED MULTI-FUCTION DISPLAY fig.1/fig.2.
The LED Battery display on the front panel shows several important pieces of information.
4.2.1. With Roadstart main switch in ON position (12V or 24V setting), pressing display button will show Internal Battery capacity. Use this to check if recharging is required. When charging the unit, turn the main switch to 12V position ONLY for correct charging. If the main switch is turned to 24V or to the off position to charge the internal battery, the red LED will flash and a continuous audible tone will be heard.
4.2.2. Solid red led indicator light on the mains charger, when recharging is underway (to see battery bars press display button – display will go out after a few seconds but red LED light on mains charger, will stay lit).
4.2.3. Green indicator light on the mains charger, signifies fully charged. (A press of the display button will also illuminate the battery bar display.)
4.2.4. Reverse Polarity – the red LED at the top of the display panel will solidly illuminate. Also a continuous alert tone will be heard.
Reverse polarity testing is only available when the Roadstart main power switch is in the ON position (12V or 24V setting). If an accidental reverse polarity is made, the  inbuilt MOSFET protection system will prevent any damage to both the Roadstart unit and the connected vehicle battery.
4.2.5. Low Voltage alert – When the main Roadstart switch is in the on position (either 12V or 24V setting), the red LED indicator at the top of the battery display will be flashing every 25 seconds and a single beep will be heard every 25 seconds, informing the user that recharging is required. This will occur at approximately 60% remaining charge.
4.2.6. When the unit is outputting big current for a long time, the temperature protection will cut output for a while, the red LED indicator at the top of the battery will flash, until the temperature cools down. Once it is at a sufficiently low temperature, it will restore output.
4.3. BATTERY CAPACITY INDICATING BAR4.4. OPERATION AS A PORTABLE POWER SUPPLY
4.4.1. 12V ACCESSORY SOCKETS:
This unit is fitted with 2 x 12V power accessory sockets. To use these output sockets, plug in your device and power will output as soon as a connection is made. These sockets combined are rated at 15 Amps. Please do not exceed these rated limits to prevent overloading the internal circuitry. Ensure the rubber dust covers are placed over the sockets when not in use to prevent dust or moisture from entering the socket.
4.5. LED EMERGENCY LIGHT
Depress the light switch once to turn the light on. Depress the switch again to turn the light off.
4.6. RECHARGING THE ROADSTART UNIT
4.6.1. For maximum battery life it is recommended that this unit be kept fully charged at all times. Use only the supplied charger, as it is automatic and does not require monitoring of the charging process. Failure to do so could damage the unit, and will invalidate the warranty.
4.6.2. When charging turn the power switch to 12V. If the power switch is on “off” or “24V” the unit will not charge and will start beeping as a warning.
4.7. TO PROLONG BATTERY LIFE:
4.7.1. Recharge the unit every 3 months even if it isn’t used.
4.7.2. Recharge the unit as soon as possible after use.
4.7.3. Avoid storage in extreme temperatures where possible (above 50 degrees Celsius and below 0 degrees Celsius).
4.7.4. Never store the unit in a discharged state.
4.8. BATTERY DISPOSAL:
The lead acid battery contained in this Roadstart should be recycled once expired (consult your local authority requirements for safe disposal of lead acid batteries).
To remove the battery, remove the screws surrounding the back housing then remove the rear panel to expose the battery cavity.
Unscrew the two hex head screws on the battery terminals and then gently slide the battery out of its cavity. Once the battery is out, insulate the battery terminals with strips of electrical tape to prevent accidental short circuits.

INBUILT SAFETY SYSTEMS

5.1. This Roadstart is fitted with sophisticated electronic safety systems to protect the unit and the connected battery in the result of accidental user error. Even with these protection systems in place, extreme care should be taken with the correct identification of the system voltage and the batteries being jump started:
5.1.1. Short circuit protection: In the event of accidentally touching the Positive and Negative clamps together while switched on, the unit will shut off output power thereby preventing a dangerous overload situation. A small spark may still emit from the alligator clamps, care should still be taken to not short circuit the unit around lead acid batteries.
5.1.2. Reverse Polarity Protection: If the unit is accidentally connected in the reverse polarity when switched on, the red LED on the front panel will illuminate along with a continuous warning tone (beep). Power will not output during reverse connection, simply switch off the main switch and correct the polarity of the connection before attempting to use again. The Roadstart will only detect a reverse polarity connection when the main switch is on.
5.1.3. 24V battery connection protection (when switched to 12V): In the event of accidental connection to a 24V battery system when 12V selection is switched on, the Roadstart unit will automatically enable its overload protection and switch power output off. The red LED will illuminate on at the front panel, along with the warning tone. Even though this protection will protect the Roadstart from catastrophic failure, extreme care should be taken by the user to correctly identify the type of battery to be jump started and the operating voltage of the system.
5.1.4. Over load and over temperature protection: When in use as a Roadstart, if load is too big or unit is under load for too long, the red LED on front panel will flash, also the Roadstart will stop output. After a period of resting time it will automatically start again.
5.1.5. Low Voltage alert – a single beep will be heard every 25 seconds when recharging is required, or approximately 60% remaining charge. This will occur only when the main power switch is switched ON.
