DIGITAL DISPLAY
4.1
The digital display can be used to indicate the percent of charge or the voltage and percentage of the
jump starter's internal battery.
• To check the voltage level of the jump starter's internal battery, make sure the clips are attached to
their plastic storage holders and not touching each other, and then press the Display button on the front
of the jump starter. The display will indicate the battery's voltage. Press the Display button a second
time to show the battery's percentage. Charge the internal battery if the display shows it is under 100%.
• While charging, press the Display button to check the internal battery's charging status. The digital
display will show the battery's percent of charge. A fully charged battery will read 100%.
NOTE: The internal battery's percent of charge is most accurate when the jump starter has been
disconnected from all devices and charging sources for a few hours.
• To check the voltage level of the vehicle's battery, connect the clips to the vehicle's battery and then
press the Display button. The display will indicate the combined voltage of the jump starter's internal
battery and the vehicle battery.
• To check the connected vehicle's battery status, press the Display button a second time. The digital
display will show the combined percentage of the jump starter's internal battery and the vehicle battery.

GROUNDING AND AC POWER CORD CONNECTIONS
5.1
IMPORTANT: Only use the charger that was included with the jump starter to charge the internal battery
of the jump starter. Using a different charger could result in personal injury or property damage.
WARNING! RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK OR FIRE.
This battery charger is for use on a nominal 120V circuit. The plug must be plugged into an outlet
that is properly installed in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. The plug pins must fit the
receptacle (outlet). Do not use with an ungrounded system.
DANGER. Never alter the AC cord or plug provided – if it does not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician. An improper connection can result in a risk of an electric shock or electrocution.
An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of an improper extension cord
could result in a risk of fire and electric shock. If an extension cord must be used, make sure:
• The pins on the plug of the extension cord are the same number, size and shape as those of the plug
on the charger.
• The extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition.
• The wire size is large enough for the AC ampere rating of the charger, as specified:
