USING THE JUMP STARTER

Ensure that the Venture Jump is fully charged. Carefully read and understand the vehicle owner’s manual on specific precautions and recommended methods for jump-starting the vehicle. The Venture Jump is for jump-starting 12-volt lead- acid batteries only.
Step 1. Connect to the Battery
1a. Securely connect the red positive (+) clamp from the jumper cable to the positive battery terminal, typically marked by these letters or symbols (POS, P, +).
1b. Securely connect the black negative (-) clamp from the jumper cable to the negative battery terminal typically marked by these letters or symbols (NEG, N,-).
Step 2: Connect to the Venture Jump
Securely insert jumper cable leads into the jumper cable port on the Venture Jump making sure to orient the cable correctly in the port. Once inserted into the Venture Jump, DO NOT allow the positive and negative battery clamps to touch or connect to each other as the product will generate sparks and could cause potential harm.
Step 3: Jump Starting
Make sure all the vehicle’s power loads (headlights, radio, air conditioning, etc.) are turned off before attempting to jump-start the vehicle. Once the Venture Jump is connected, a solid green light will indicate the Jump is ready to use. Wait a few seconds before attempting to start, but no more than 30 seconds. Attempt to start your vehicle by turning the ignition key or pushing the ignition button. Each start-up attempt should not exceed 5 seconds. DO NOT attempt more than five (5) consecutive jump starts within a fifteen (15) minute period. NOTE: For safety reasons, the Venture Jump will time out after 30 seconds. If you are not able to successfully complete the jump start before 30
seconds, you will need to disconnect the smart cables from the Jump, remove the cables from the battery, and then reconnect the system before trying again.
Step 4: Removing Venture Jumper Cables
Once you have started the vehicle, remove the jumper cable leads from the jumper cable port on the Venture Jump, then disconnect the red positive (+) clamp from the battery. Then remove the black negative (-) clamp from the battery.
NOTE: The Venture Jump is a start-up aid and cannot fully substitute the power of an original battery. If the battery of your vehicle is completely discharged or faulty, the unit will not have enough power to start up your vehicle.
