GETTING STARTED

The MICRO-START XP-1 comes partially charged out of the box and should be fully charged prior to use. Carefully read and understand the Vehicle Owner’s Manual on specific precautions and recommended methods for jump-starting your particular vehicle. Make sure to determine the voltage of your system and type of battery by referring to your Battery Owner’s Manual prior to using this product.
The XP-1 is for jump-starting 12-volt starter batteries only and for charging electronic devices. Please read this manual completely before use.

BEFORE CONNECTING TO ANY BATTERY

Before connecting to the vehicle’s battery, verify that you have a 12-volt vehicle system. The XP-1 is not suitable to jump-start any other voltage of the battery. Identify the correct polarity of the battery terminals on the battery. The positive battery terminal is normally RED and marked by these letters or symbols (POS, P, +). The negative battery terminal is typically BLACK and marked by these letters or symbols (NEG, N, -). Do not make any connections to the carburetor, fuel lines, or thin metal parts for grounding. These instructions are for a negative ground system (most common). If your vehicle is a positive ground system (very uncommon), follow the instructions in reverse order.

3. Press the Power Switch on the XP-1 to begin charging your device.
4. Disconnect your device when charged.
   NOTE: The number of times devices can be charged will vary depending on the size of your device’s battery.

CHARGING 12V AND 19V DEVICES

The XP-1 can charge or power other devices such as laptop computers and 12V accessories with its 12V and 19V ports. Both ports have a 5.5 mm female output port that accepts the provided 5.5 mm DC male-connector cable (Male DC connector on both ends). The ports are color-coded for easy connection: 12V is yellow and 19V is black.

1. For 19V laptop charging you would plug the provided DC Cable into the 19V output port on the XP-1 and find the appropriate Laptop Tip for your brand (8 Tips are provided with the kit ) and connect it to your Laptop. To begin charging press the Power Button on the XP-1.
2. For 12V charging you would plug the provided DC Cable into the 12V output port on the XP-1 and you would use this DC Cable directly to your 12V device (or use your device’s cable ).

NOTE: Due to the variety of electronic devices and the number of different connector types for devices it is impossible for our kit to contain the proper connector for all laptop computers and electronic devices.
If your device uses a tip or cable that we do not include with the XP-1 you may find a compatible cable that will work with it at online electronics suppliers. Please verify with the manufacturer of your device that the XP-1 is compatible with charging it! The XP-1 requires a 5.5 mm x 2.1 mm MALE end to plug into its 12V and 19V ports.

JUMP-STARTING A VEHICLE

The XP-1 is equipped with SMART CLAMPS that have built-in protections to prevent accidental reverse-polarity connections, over-charge, and more. But caution should always be used when Jump Starting. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY GUIDES BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT.

1. Make sure all the vehicle’s lights, radios, air conditioning, and accessories are turned Off. Confirm you are connecting to a 12-Volt Battery System.

2. Connect the Smart Clamps to the Battery of the vehicle: Red Clamp to the Positive (+) Terminal, and Black Clamp to the Negative (-) Terminal of the Battery. Remove any corrosion; ensure a good connection to terminals.

3. Connect the Smart Clamps to the XP-1, making sure the blue connector is fully seated into the Jump-Start port.

4. One of the following LED Light indications will show on the Smart Clamps:
   A) GREEN LED: Indicates XP-1 and Clamps are connected correctly. You can now start the vehicle. Go to Step 5.
   B) GREEN BLINKING LED: Indicates your Vehicle Battery has very low voltage, but the connection is CORRECT. In this case, you will need to press the “BOOST” Button on the Smart Clamps and attempt to start. Go to Step 5.
   NEVER PRESS THE BOOST BUTTON UNLESS A GREEN LIGHT IS PRESENT AND ONLY IF THE UNIT IS CONNECTED TO THE VEHICLE BATTERY WITH POLARITY CONNECTED PROPERLY!
   EXTREME CAUTION MUST BE USED WHEN PRESSING THE BOOST BUTTON. THE BOOST BUTTON MAKES THE CLAMPS “LIVE” WITH CURRENT, AND BYPASSES THE BUILT-IN SAFETY FEATURES. HIGH AMPERAGE AND POTENTIAL FOR HEAT, SPARKS, AND PROPERTY DAMAGE MAY OCCUR IF CLAMPS ARE NOT CONNECTED CORRECTLY. ONLY USE THE BOOST BUTTON WHEN CLAMPS HAVE BEEN CORRECTLY CONNECTED TO THE PROPER POLARITY ON THE VEHICLE’S BATTERY. IF YOU ARE UNSURE ABOUT USE CONTACT US AT: 310 527 2330 OR INFO@ANTIGRAVITYBATTERIES.COM
   C) RED LED: Indicates your connection to the vehicle battery is INCORRECT. Remove the Clamps, correct the connection, and go to Step 1.
   D) NO LED: Indicates there is No Voltage detected by the Smart Clamps or the vehicle’s battery is below 2 volts. In this case, you will need to make sure you have the clamps properly connected per Step 2, then press the BOOST Button. Go to Step 5

5. Attempt to Start the vehicle. After starting your vehicle, leave it running, but disconnect the Smart Clamps and XP-1 within 40 seconds of starting. DO NOT LEAVE ATTACHED.

USING THE BOOST BUTTON ON THE SMART CLAMPS:
In most circumstances, you will not need to use the Boost Button.
It is intended to allow for jump-starting a vehicle when the battery has very low voltage or no voltage reading. In these circumstances the Boost allows clamps to be energized to start the vehicle for emergency jump-starting.

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
A) The Smart Clamps must be connected to the XP-1 for the Boost Button to operate.
B) BEFORE pressing the Boost Button make sure all connections are correct. Once the Boost Button is pressed the Clamps will have “live” voltage at the clamps. Always connect the Red Clamp to the Positive (+) Terminal of the Battery. Black Clamp to Negative (-) Terminal of Battery.
C) The Boost Button will “click” when pressed correctly; you may need a pen, fingernail, or edge of the key to press it correctly due to being indented in the Smart Clamp housing.
D) Once the Boost Button is pressed you have 25 seconds to attempt your jump- start. After that time the Boost will turn off. You will need to press the Boost Button again to re-engage the Boost feature.
DO NOT USE THE JUMP-START PORT FOR ANYTHING BUT JUMP-STARTING!
DO NOT LEAVE THE MICRO-START UNIT CONNECTED TO THE VEHICLE!
DO NOT PRESS THE BOOST BUTTON ON CLAMPS IF CLAMPS ARE CONNECTED TOGETHER. THE BOOST BUTTON IS A BYPASS AND MAKES THE CLAMPS LIVE WITH ENERGY! USE CAUTION.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. HOW DO I TURN OFF THE XP-1?
   The Micro-Start XP-1 will automatically power off when it is not powering anything. Usually in about 10 seconds. Disconnect the Clamps when not in use.

2. HOW MANY TIMES CAN IT CHARGE A CELL PHONE?
   The XP-1 can charge the average phone about 5-7 times depending on the size of the cell phone’s battery. The XP-1 has 12,000 mAh of capacity.

3. HOW MANY TIMES CAN IT CHARGE A TABLET?
   The XP-1 can generally charge a tablet from 3-4 times. This depends on the size of the tablet’s battery.

4. HOW LONG FOR THE XP-1 TO FULLY CHARGE?
   It can fully charge from completely dead in 4-5 hours. If some charge is in the XP-1 it can charge in much less time.

5. HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO CHARGE MY CELL PHONE?
   The XP-1 can charge a phone in about 40-60 minutes. It depends on the phone, but the Micro-Start does charge USB Devices fast because it has a 2-amp charge rate at one of the USB ports.

6. HOW MANY TIMES CAN IT START A CAR?
   This depends on the size of the motor and state of charge, but modern V8s about 25 times on one charge. Note: It is NOT INTENDED FOR Diesel Motors!

7. HOW LONG CAN THE XP-1 HOLD A CHARGE?
   On average the XP-1 can hold a charge for up to 6-8 months. This will depend on the conditions it is stored in. Heat and cold can affect this. It is best to check the state of charge at least once every 3-4 months.

8. CAN CLAMPS OR JUMP-START PORT POWER OTHER THINGS?
   No, this should not be done. The Jumper Clamp port and clamps should only be used to jump-start vehicles with a minimum of 3 lights lit for the state of charge/capacity. Other uses such as powering other electronics through this port will ruin the device and could cause personal property damage, explosion or fire.

9. HOW BIG OF A MOTOR CAN THE XP-1 START?
   This depends on the vehicle and how good of a connection you have to the vehicle. Modern V8 motors up to 6 Liters can be done fairly easily. Diesels are a much harder start than Gas Motors. The XP-1 is not intended to start Diesel motors. Use the XP-10 for that use.
