The maximum power consumption must not exceed 10 A. -
Press the ON/OFF button (Fig. 1/Item 5).
Jump starting for the vehicle
The 12 V jump starting function provides welcome help with starting difficulties due to too little battery capacity.
Warning! Only the jump start cable is allowed to be connected during jump starting. Any power supply to a connected device, e.g. via the USB port, must be disconnected first.
- Consult the vehicle’s operating manual for information about jump starting. Non-observance can lead to damage to the vehicle.
- Switch off all power consumers on the vehicle (headlights, radio, …). Never try to start a vehicle without a connected starter battery.
- Make sure that the connector on the jump start cable is securely connected to the device socket. If the connection is loose during jump starting, the connector could melt as a result of the high current.
- The poles on the vehicle battery must be clean and the clamps of the jump start cable must be securely attached to the battery poles.
- Warning! Do not connect together the clamps of the jump start cable when the “Boost” button is pressed or while jump starting is in progress – this will lead to shortcircuiting with sparking, to risk of explosion and to the destruction of the equipment..
Check that at least 3 LED of the battery capacity indicator are lit. The equipment temperature must be within the range of + 5 °C – + 40°C and the ambient temperature during jump starting within the range of – 15°C – + 40°C. Use only the supplied jump start cable (Fig. 2c).
-
Fig. 5: Pull open the cover on the jump start cable connection (Fig. 1 / Item 8), push the cover underneath it to the side and plug the jump start cable into the equipment.
-
Fig. 5a: Connect the red cable to the positive pole on the car’s battery and the black cable to the negative pole on the car’s battery. Make sure that the clamps are secure. In addition, make sure that the jump start power bank is tucked away securely in the engine bay and will not be able to fall as a result of vibrations during the jump start operation. The jump start power bank must not be allowed to come within the range of moving parts. The following points 3. – 6. describe the status signals of the jump start cable. Please follow the instructions.
-
Fig. 5a: The “Correct” LED on the jump start cable lights up green. All the existing connections are OK and the vehicle can be started within 30 seconds.
-
Fig. 5b: The “Correct” LED on the jump start cable fl ashes green. All the existing connections are OK, but the car battery charge status is very low. Press the “Boost” button on the jump start cable and wait until the “Correct” LED lights up green continuously. Start the vehicle within 30 seconds. Be particularly careful because pressing the “Boost” button has the eff ect of overriding the safety devices integrated in the jump start power bank.
-
Fig. 5c: The red LED on the jump start cable lights up and an acoustic warning signal sounds. The clamps of the jump start cable are wrongly connected to the car battery, i.e. with reverse polarity. Remove the clamps and connect them to the car battery again but with the correct polarity and in accordance with the previous instructions.
-
Fig. 5d: No LED lights up on the jump start cable, nor is there an acoustic warning signal. Check all the connections, especially that the clamps are connected to the car battery with the correct polarity. If all the connections are OK, the cause is probably a defective car battery. Press the “Boost” button on the jump start cable and wait until the “Correct” LED lights up green continuously. Start the vehicle within 30 seconds. Be particularly careful, because pressing the “Boost” button has the eff ect of overriding the safety devices integrated in the jump start power bank. Replace the defective car battery as soon as possible.
-
As soon as the engine is running, remove the jump start cable from the equipment and then remove the red clamp from the car battery first, followed by the black clamp.
-
Let the engine run. The generator will charge up the built-in car battery.
At very low temperatures a number of jump start attempts may be required before the car starts up. Allow one minute waiting time between each attempt. Remove the equipment within 30 seconds after a successful jump start as far as possible.
The number of times that you can attempt to start the engine (max. 4 within 10 minutes) varies according to the ambient temperature, the condition of the battery you want to start and the charge level of the jump start power bank battery.
If too many attempts to start are carried out within 10 minutes, the “Correct” LED will fl ash green / red in alternation and further attempts to start will be blocked. The jump start function will become available again after a 10-minute waiting period provided the battery has enough capacity and the integrated safety device is compliant.
Cleaning, maintenance and ordering of spare parts
Danger
