CAUTION (11)
This symbol lights up in the event of
errors, short-circuiting or incorrect
terminal connections. Immediately
disconnect the connections and check
everything carefully.
BATTERY VOLTAGE, INTERNAL (12)
Indicates the voltage of the internal
battery of the starting aid.
CHARGING STATUS DISPLAY (13)
Symbolises the charging status of the
internal battery of the starting aid. In
order to lend starting aid to a vehicle,
the display must show at least 3 bars
of charge (12.8 Volt). During charging,
the bars will build from bottom to top.
A fl ashing display signalises an empty
battery and that charging is required.
READY-TO-USE (14)
This symbol signalises ready to use.
You can now start your vehicle.
WARMING UP (LOGO FLASHING)
(14)
In the event of low ambient tempera-
tures below 0°C (32°F), the automatic
warming of the starting aid is required
(heating duration, up to 5 minutes).
NOTE: In the event of temperatures
below -20°C (-4°F) the PRE-HEAT
function is not suffi cient to bring the
device to the necessary operating
temperature. This function can-
not be selected, it will be activated
automatically based on the ambient
temperature.
OVERHEATING (LOGOS FLASH)
(11+14)
The device has overheated. Switch the
device off and allow it to cool down.
Overheating may occur if the device is
used in high exterior temperatures (>
65 °C or 149 °F) or used multiple times
within a short period of time.

6.2 CHARGING THE INTERNAL BATTERY

Prior to initial commissioning
The device is delivered in a partially charged
state. After purchasing/prior to initial use,
charge the device fully. To do this, use only
the supplied charger or the vehicle charging
cable.
Battery lifetime
Charge the battery of the starting aid
after each use (as starting aid), this will
increase the lifetime of your battery.
Permanent charging and frequency comple-
te discharges should be avoided since these
will shorten the lifetime of your battery.

6.2.1 CHARGING USING THE PLUG CHARGER

Connect the charger using the 12 V input, INPUT (Position 4
in the overview), of the power pack. Then plug the charger
into a mains socket. The power pack switches itself on, this
is indicated by the activation of the display illumination and
the acoustic signal. The charging process is complete when
all 5 charging bars are permanently lit.
After charging, fi rst disconnect the plug charger from the
mains socket, then disconnect the coaxial connector from
the charging socket of the power pack. The device will
switch itself off approximately 30 seconds after you have
disconnected the charging cable from the power pack.

6.2.2 CHARGING USING THE VEHICLE CHARGING CABLE

Connect the charger using the 12 V input, INPUT
(Position 4 in the overview), of the power pack. Then insert the
12 V vehicle plug into the on-board socket of your vehicle.
The power pack switches itself on, this is indicated by the
activation of the display illumination and the acoustic
signal. The charging process is complete when all 5 charging
bars are permanently lit.
After charging, fi rst disconnect the 12 V plug from the
12 V socket of your vehicle and then disconnect the coaxial
connector from the charging socket of the power pack.
CAUTION:
Only charge the power pack when
driving or when the motor is running,
otherwise there is a risk that the
starter battery of your vehicle may be
discharged.
The device will switch itself off approximately 30 seconds
after you have disconnected the charging cable from the
power pack.

6.3 STARTING AID

6.3.1 PREPARATION

Disconnect all devices connected to the power pack, both
from the 12 V outlet socket (Position 7 in the overview) and
from the USB connection (Positions 5 in the overview).
