INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
HOW TO USE THE EMERGENCY BOOSTER
Using the emergency booster to start vehicles
1. Always wear protective goggles and keep your face away from the battery during connection operations.
2. Check that the installed battery is a 12V.
CAUTION: IF THE VOLTAGE OF THE EMERGENCY BOOSTER DOES NOT MATCH THE VOLTAGE OF THE VEHI-
CLE'S SYSTEM, AN EXPLOSION, OR DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE, THE PRODUCT AND PEOPLE COULD OCCUR.
3. Connect the starter cable supplied with the booster and check that both LEDs (red and green) on the connector are
flashing.
CAUTION: DO NOT CONNECT THE EMERGENCY BOOSTER TO THE BATTERY IF THE GREEN LED IS GLOWING
SOLID, BECAUSE PROTECTION IS DISABLED IN THIS MODE.
4. Determine which post of the battery is grounded to the chassis; in most vehicles, the negative post is grounded to the
chassis.
CAUTION: Never reverse polarity. Always connect the output lead with red clamp (+) to the positive post of the battery,
and the output lead with black clamp (-) to the vehicle's chassis.
CAUTION: REVERSED POLARITY CAN CAUSE AN EXPLOSION OR DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE, THE PRODUCT
AND PEOPLE.
CAUTION: Check that the cables of the emergency booster are kept away from fans, moving parts and the fuel pipe.
6. Check that the green LED on the booster cable is on.
CAUTION: When the green LED goes on, the vehicle should be started within 30 seconds. After 30 seconds, the ignition
cable must be restored by disconnecting and connecting again either clamp.
7. Crank the engine.
8. After the engine starts, disconnect the output lead with black clamp from the vehicle's chassis.
9. Disconnect the output lead with red clamp from the positive clip (+) of the battery.
CAUTION: IF THE ENGINE DOES NOT START, DISCONNECT EITHER CLAMP TO RESTORE THE STARTER CABLE.
CAUTION: Charge the emergency booster after each use.
IMPORTANT! Maintaining your vehicle's battery properly will prolong its life; when you reach your destination, please
remember to plug a vehicle battery charger into your battery, to fully restore its efficiency.

Cause
Internal battery is flat.
Car battery voltage is too low (<1.5V).
Battery cables have been reversed.
A short-circuit has occurred.
Voltage of a cell of emergency booster battery
is too low.
Solution
Disconnect cable and charge emergency
booster.
Use different start systems.
Disconnect cables from battery and connect
them again correctly.
Disconnect cables from battery and check
vehicle to clear short-circuit.
Try to charge booster for at least two hours,
disconnect power supply, and then start a
normal charging cycle. If the word "EA" does not
disappear, please contact service centre.
