needle on the voltage meter to indicate the state of charge of

the battery. Once the charger is disconnected, it will be noted

that the voltage will slowly settle back. This is quite normal and

should not cause alarm. When the LED extinguishes, charging will

automatically stop, indicating that the battery is fully charged.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT allow the needle to enter the RED zone while pressing

the test switch as this could damage the battery.

CHARGING USING THE 12V ADAPTOR

1. Plug the jack plug into the charging socket at the rear of the unit, then into

the cigar lighter socket on the vehicle and start the engine. The red LED on

the jump-start will indicate that charging is in progress.

2. Continue to charge until the “Internal Battery Status” gauge registers ‘OK’

when the ‘TEST’ button is pressed, WITH THE CHARGING CURRENT

DISCONNECTED. i.e. disconnect the cigar lighter adapter from the socket

on the vehicle before pressing the TEST button.

NOTE: We recommend that you use this system only when necessary, as

prolonged use will reduce the life expectancy of the battery, due

to the fact that this method can only charge the battery to

approx. 50% of its capacity.

NOTE: For maximum battery life, we strongly recommend that you

maintain the battery in a fully charged state at all times.

NOTE: If charging does not take place, check the green LED on the

adapter. Ensure all connections are clean and free of grease etc.
