WARNING: ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

The jump-starting clamps may spark if touched together. Always keep the clamps in their storage holsters when they are not being used.

3. Charging/Recharging the Jump-starter

Charging before first use

IMPORTANT
Prior to using the jump-starter for the first time, ensure that the battery of the jump-starter is fully charged. If the battery has been fully discharged, charging/recharging with the AC battery charger may take up to 12 hours.

Charging / recharging with the internal charger
Recharging with the internal charger is a true “plug-in-and-forget” charging method. We recommend leaving the AC battery charger connected when the jump-starter is not in use.

1. Disconnect any USB and 12V DC appliances from the DC power outlets.
2. Remove the AC cord from the storage compartment under the unit.
3. Insert the AC cord end into the AC cord input port, then plug AC cord into a standard AC wall outlet.
4. The fuel gauge LEDs sequence during charging and remain solid on when fully charged.
5. Recharging time should be approximately 12 hours if the jump-starter battery is fully discharged.

IMPORTANT
If you keep the jump-starter in storage, the battery will discharge over time. Remember to recharge the battery every three months to keep the jump- starter operational.

4. Checking the Jump-starter’s Battery Level

To check the battery’s charge level, press the Fuel Gauge button. The LED lights will illuminate and display the current level of available battery power. Press again to turn off (or will turn off automatically after one minute).

When all four lights are lit, this indicates that your Jump-starter is fully charged. It is recommended to maintain a full charge on the Jump-starter at all times for optimal jump starting and device charging.

Note: Battery Fuel Gauge status is only accurate when the jump-starter has been disconnected from all appliances and all charging sources for 15 minutes.

5. Using The Jump-starter’s Light / Power Ports

1. Push the “HOLD FOR LIGHT” button for 2 seconds to turn on the LED light.
2. Position the jump-starter so that the light illuminates your work area.
3. When done, push the “HOLD FOR LIGHT” button for 2 seconds to turn the LED light off.

Using the USB port
The USB port provides up to 2.1 Amps of power to charge cell phones, smartphones, tablets and other devices.

To charge USB devices:

1. Connect your USB device (smartphone, tablet etc.) to the USB port using the USB cable supplied with your device.
2. Push the “USB ON/OFF” button.
3. Charging will start and up to 2.1 Amps of current can be supplied by the port. The USB device controls the amount of current supplied.
4. The USB port never “pushes” more than required by the devices.
5. Push the “USB ON/OFF” button again when done to turn the USB port off.

Note: USB output will turn off after one minute if not plugged into a USB device.

Using the 12V DC power socket
The jump-starter can operate 12V DC appliances that draw 11A or less.

CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
The DC power outlet does not automatically switch off when the internal battery is discharged. Check the battery status periodically to prevent total battery discharge.

To operate a 12V DC appliance:

1. Open the protective cover on the jump-starter’s DC power socket.
2. Plug the 12V DC appliance into the DC power outlet on the side of the unit, and turn the 12V DC appliance on (if required).
3. Fully recharge the jump-starter as soon as possible after each use.
4. As the DC power socket is internally wired directly to the jump-starter’s battery, extended operation of a 12V DC appliance may result in excessive battery discharge. See “Caution: Equipment Damage” above.

6. Jump-Starting A Vehicle’s Engine

You can use the Duracell® jump-starter with the supplied jump-start cables to jump-start a vehicle or boat engine that has a 12V starting battery.

WARNING: FIRE HAZARD
Never allow jump-start cables’ red and black clamps to touch each other or another common metal conductor. This could cause damage to the unit and/or create a sparking/ explosion hazard.

WARNING: FIRE HAZARD
Jump-start cable clamps’ connection to the vehicle’s battery terminals must be positive to positive (red clamp to battery “+”) and negative to engine block. A reverse polarity connection (positive to negative) may cause damage to the unit and/or create a sparking/ explosion hazard.

WARNING: FIRE HAZARD
Do not crank the engine for more than 4 seconds. The jump-start feature is designed for short term operation only. Operating the jump-start feature for more than 4 seconds may cause damage to the unit. Allow the jump-starter to cool down for at least 30 seconds after each jump-start.

To jump-start a vehicle engine:

1. Turn OFF the vehicle or boat ignition and all accessories.

2. Engage the park or emergency brake and place the transmission in park for an automatic or neutral for a manual.

3. If jump-starting a boat engine, purge the engine compartment and bilge of all fumes.

4. Position the jump-starter on a flat, stable surface near the battery and away from all moving parts of the engine.

5. Make sure the red the Jump-starter switch is in the OFF position then connect the red
   
   positive (+) clamp of the cables to the positive (+) terminal of the engine battery. The battery’s positive terminal is usually larger in diameter than the negative terminal. In most vehicles, the battery’s positive terminal has a red wire connected to it. (Refer to your vehicle’s owner manual).

6. Connect the black negative (–) clamp of the cables to the negative battery terminal, engine block, cylinder head, or other stationary heavy metal part of the motor.

7. Correct polarity must be established before proceeding. Re-check your connections before starting your engine. If the clamps are reversed, an alarm will sound and “CLAMPS REVERSED” LED illuminate. Disconnect the jump-start clamps from the vehicle’s battery and redo steps 5 and 6 in this procedure.

8. Before starting the engine, make sure the jump-starter and the cables are clear of belts and fans.

9. Turn the jump-starter switch to the ON position and turn over the engine for 4 seconds or until it starts, whichever is first.

10. Turn the jump-starter switch to the OFF position and remove the red positive (+) clamp and then the black negative (–) clamp from the vehicle.

11. Store the jump-start clamps in the appropriate holder on each side of the jump-starter.

IMPORTANT
If you keep the jump-starter in storage, the battery will discharge over time. Remember to recharge the battery every three months to keep the jump- starter operational.

7. Maintenance

Routine maintenance is required to keep your Duracell® jump-starter operating properly. Occasionally clean the exterior of the unit with a damp cloth to remove the accumulated dust and dirt.

WARNING: SHOCK HAZARD
Disconnect all sources of AC power and DC power before performing any type of maintenance.

Battery maintenance
All rechargeable batteries gradually discharge when left standing, and you need to recharge them periodically to maintain maximum battery capacity. The internal AC battery charger supplied with the jump-starter is designed to regulate the charging process, ensuring that the battery is always fully charged but never overcharged. To ensure safe recharging and maximum battery life, recharge the jump-starter only with the supplied charger.

CAUTION
Due to inherent self-discharge, lead acid batteries must be charged at least every 3 months, especially in a warm environment. Leaving a battery in a discharged state, or not recharging every 3 months, may result in permanent battery damage and poor jumpstarting performance.

CAUTION
Do not attempt to recharge the jump-starter battery if it is frozen. Gradually warm the frozen battery to 32 °F (0 °C) before recharging.

8. Using the air compressor

IMPORTANT: Please read these general usage-related warnings and cautions thoroughly before using the Jump-starter’s air compressor.

Fire Safety

The compressor is designed for short term operation only. Operating the compressor over an extended period of time will cause the compressor unit to overheat which could lead to fire. The powerpack cannot be used to inflate large capacity inflatables such as float tubes, large air mattresses, and inflatable boats. These types of products require extended inflating times that may damage the compressor.
Always allow the compressor to cool down for 10 minutes after each 10 minutes of continuous operation.

Personal Safety

Never leave the compressor unattended while in operation. Keep out of reach of children. The compressor is capable of inflating to 160 PSI. Do not exceed the recommended pressure of either the compressor or the object being inflated. If either recommended pressure is exceeded, an explosion may result.
If the pressure gauge on the compressor indicates more than twice the recommended pressure for the object you are inflating, and you have only started to inflate the object, the valve connector is incorrectly connected to the valve stem. This may damage the Jump-starter. Remove and reattach the valve connector to the valve stem.

Inflating tires (car, motorcycle, bicycle)

1. Unwind the air compressor hose from the side compartment of the unit.
2. Place the valve connector securely on the tire valve stem, turn the valve connector on the hose to securely attach it to the tire valve. If necessary, use a supplied nozzle adapter.
3. Press the AIR COMPRESSOR switch to turn the compressor on, and inflate your tire to its recommended pressure.
4. Switch the compressor off after appropriate pressure is reached.
5. Unscrew the valve connector and remove the valve connector from the valve stem. Inflating tires using the nozzle adapters
6. Locate proper nozzle adapter stored with the compressor hose.
7. Insert nozzle adapter into the valve receptacle of the item.
8. Follow item 1-3 above
9. Turn the compressor off before removing nozzle adapter from valve stem.
10. Remove nozzle adapter from valve connector and return it to the storage compartment.
