How do I jump start a 12V vehicle?

1. Check that the number of indicator lights is not less than 2.
2. Connect the red battery clamp of jumper cable to the vehicle’s positive (+) battery terminal and connect
the black battery clamp of jumper cable to the vehicle’s negative (-) battery terminal.
3. Caution! Do not connect the red clamp (+) and the black clamp (-) at the same time.
4. Ensure the battery clamps are connected correctly, and the connectors are free from rust and dirt.
5. Plug the blue cord jumper cable into the jump start socket, and ensure the blue plug is secured.
6. Start the vehicle.
7. Once the vehicle starts, remove the jumper cable from the unit.

Please reference user manual for full instructions and warnings.

The engine dies shortly after it was jump started or as soon as the jump starter is disconnected

The vehicle charging system may not be working (bad alternator, voltage regulator, wiring problem or loose/dirty battery cables). Please seek a mechanic for help. The jump start may also not work correctly for vehicles that require remote battery jumper locations (i.e. battery located in the trunk or other location).
