The red clamp goes with the positive (+) terminal of the battery, and the black clamp goes with the negative (-) terminal of the battery.

When V4500 Plus detects that the connection of the jump start clamps to the vehicle battery is OK (with the voltage ≥ 3V), the icon will become solid ON and the icon will turn ON and blink. It means you need to start the vehicle.

If the voltage is lower than 3V, the vehicle will not get started successfully in this mode. You can try the BOOST mode.
