Charge the product battery

Important:
Do not charge the power bank using the USB-A ports on a computer. The current supplied by these ports may not be sufficient and can damage the computer.
To prolong the battery life, it is recommended to fully charge the battery very 3 – 6 months.
Do not jump start the vehicle while charging the batteries!

• The battery level indicators will indicate the level of charge: (● = 25%, ●● = 50%, ●●● = 75%, ●●●● = 100%).
• Short press the Power button to check the battery level.
• To recharge the battery, connect one end of the charging cable to a power supply and the other end to a charging input on the product.
  • Battery level indicators flashing: charging in progress
  • Battery level indicators constant on: fully charged.

Power bank

PRECONDITIONS:
To use this product as a power bank you will need a suitable charging cable.

1. Connect one end of the charging cable to your mobile device, and the other end to a charger output on the product.
2. Press the Power button to start charging.

LED light

1. Press and hold the Power button (approx. 3 secs) to switch the LED ON/OFF.
2. Press the Power button repeatedly to cycle through modes: constant ON → SOS → flashing → OFF.

Quick starting system

Important

• Only use the included starter cables.
• Clean corroded or dirty vehicle battery terminals before connecting the cables.
• Do not use if a cable or clip is damaged.
• To prevent damage to the product, only use with 12 V vehicle onboard systems.
• Never short circuit the two pole terminals e.g. Do not clamp both cables together or to the same piece of conductive material.

Before jump starting the vehicle

• Prepare vehicle for ignition. Place gear in park/neutral and engage the emergency brake.
• Switch off all vehicle electronics e.g. air conditioner, heater, radio, and lights.
• Make sure there is at least 50% charge in the starter.

Normal starting method

Important:
If ignition fails after 3 attempts, disconnect the quick start system, wait 5 mins then try the Force starting method [4].

1. Connect the starter cables plug to the starter cables socket.
2. Clip the red and black cables to the electrodes of the vehicle battery in the following sequence.
   • Red clamp to positive (+).
   • Black clamp to negative (-).
3. Check the starter status indicator:
   • Alternating red/green flashing (normal) → proceed to step 4.
   • Other LED status: see section Status indicators [4].
4. Attempt to start the vehicle.
   • Do not start the ignition for more than 3 secs at a time.
   • Allow the starter to cool down for 30 secs between each start attempt.
   • Maximum 3 attempts within 2 mins.
5. If the engine starts, disconnect the black terminal followed by the red terminal. Replace the sockets cover.

Let the vehicle run for approx. 30 mins to recharge the battery.

Force starting method

Important:
Use this method if the normal starting method fails.
If ignition fails after 3 attempts, disconnect the quick start system and contact a specialist workshop.

1. Connect the starter cables plug to the starter cables socket.
2. Clip the red and black cables to the electrodes of the vehicle battery in the following sequence.
   • Red clamp to positive (+)

Protection mode

the wrong way around.
Short-circuit: Both cables are clamped together or clamped to the same piece of conductive metal.
Red steady on| Reverse charging protection is triggered. Voltage of the connected battery is >12.6 V.
The jump starter is not needed as the vehicle battery is enough to start the vehicle.
Red flashing quickly| Over temperature: Clamp >65 (±5) ºC. Remove the clips until the starter status indicator returns to normal (alternating red/green flashing).
Green flashing slowly| Quick start battery charge is too low, recharge it.
