When doing so, make sure that the plug is firmly and securely inserted. The indicator lights (18 and 19) of the jumper box flash alternately.
4. First connect the red pole clamp (position 9 in the overview) of the jump-start cable to the positive pole and then the black pole clamp (position 10 in the overview) to the negative pole of the vehicle battery. The pole clamps must have a firm and secure contact to the battery poles. If the polarity of the cables is reversed or if there is a short circuit, the red indicator light (19) of the jumper box lights up and a warning tone sounds. If the jumper cables are connected correctly, the green control light (18) lights up and a click sound is emitted for approx. 20 sec.
